Wait until you've seen Tehachapi.
I wonder what the effect is of pulling energy out of the boundary layer
with windmills?(let alone the bird kill rate)
Anyway...
What's to like about coal fired power stations?
The vast holes in the ground they dig the coal from?
The stack effluent?
The effluent scrubber disposal ponds?
The radioactives going up the stack?(a nuke would be shut down if it
emitted the radioactivity that the average coal fired power station emitted)
The waste disposal in your lungs?
The number of people getting killed mining and transporting coal?
Fly over Tarong some time or better still the Hunter valley.
