He's from the same stripe is this guy:
This is yet another one of those posts where I start to understand the reason why Right-wing people start resort to flame wars and insults.
When you see something this stupid, how do you respond to an ignorant leftists?
First, you idiots that believe this crap, never looked up the quote did you? Want to know how I divined that fact? BECAUSE HE DID NOT SAY IT YOU MORONS.
"Wind is a finite resource and harnessing it would slow the wind down which would cause the temperature to go up"
This quote does not exist you mind numbingly ignorant fools.
This is why America is falling apart. We have entire political movement based on pure ignorance. Some idiot says something, and you don't even check it.
Further, half of what *YOU CLAIM* he said is in fact true, and you are too ignorant of science.... completely ignorant of basic Elementary School science, to realize you are mocking something that is scientific accurate.
Ok you liberal retards.... for once in your pathetic lives, educate yourselves, or get off the forum for being incompetent....
In Feb, 2009, the House of Representatives had a Subcommittee hearing on `RENEWABLE ENERGY: COMPLEMENTARY POLICIES FOR CLIMATE LEGISLATION''.
A Professor Jay Apt, was asked the speak at the hearing. The committee refused him. Professor Apt is faculty at Tepper School of Business Carnegie Mellon University, has a Ph.D in Experimental Atomic Physics, from MIT, and A.B. in Physics from Harvard. Additionally he is a member of Engineering and Public Policy, and Director of Carnegie Mellon Electricity Industry Center.
He was refused to speak at the Hearing. Therefore Professor Apt made a written statement, which was read into the transcript of the Hearing.
The statement is as follows.....
Wind energy is a finite resource. At large scale, slowing down the wind by using its energy to turn turbines has environmental consequences. A group of researchers at Princeton University, found that wind farms may change the mixing of air near the surface, drying the soil near the site. At planetary scales, David Keith, who was then at Carnegie Mellon, and coworkers found that if wind supplied 10 percent of expected global electricity demand in 2100, which is a number of years off, the resulting change in the earth's atmospheric energy might cause some regions of the world to experience temperature change of approximately 1 degree Centigrade
Did you idiots on the left learn anything? Huh?
Let's start with this real quick... you leftists think you have science on your side. Note how someone educated in science was prevented from speaking at a hearing on the science? This is what you people on the left are all about. You are not about science, you are about politics, and when science doesn't support your position, you ban the evidence from being presented.
Wind is finite. Now that's deep. You leftists can't figure out the wind is not an infinite? This is such elementary level physics, how can you people not figure it out?
Energy can not be created or destroyed. It can only change forms. If energy from wind is being sapped away by a wind mill, do you conclude that the wind still has the exact same amount of energy, as before it went through the blades?
This is so obvious to those without their heads shoved so far up their politics, they can't see. If you are standing in a forest, does the wind blow as hard as when you are out in a grass field? Duh, of course not. The trees absorb the energy of the wind.
Further, the idea that reducing wind speed at ground level, should also not be shocking that it might increase heat. Any moron, with a fan in the summer time, should be able to grasp that blowing air cools you. And stagnant air is hotter.
So let's review what we learned.....
Leftists ban information contrary to their preconceived notions, proving they are anti-science.
Wind energy is in fact finite.
Slowing down wind speeds can in fact raise temperatures.
AND THE QUOTE YOU MORONS SPEW DOES NOT EXIST, and leftists are routinely too ignorant to know this.
