#1 Well, I suppose you could always light your farts to stay warm.

I can't wait to go down to my client on Cape Cod in a few hours (quarterly payroll). Between Exits 9 and 8 (MA Route 3 in Plymouth) there's this massive wind turbine. It's a refurbed Hyundai unit, sticks up about something like 300 feet high and is a driving distraction / fucking eyesore. I can see the thing from about three miles away. It just leaves me mostly shaking my head in disgust - I see it operational about half the time, so what's the point besides virtue signaling?

#4 Raj, virtue signalling is about all anyone does near the cape. My wife was born and raised there and it hasn't much changed in the 50 years I've been familiar with the place.

I do think there may be fewer NYC psychiatrists in Truro now.

#5 Don't come out here Raj. Its all different companies I think with some breaks here and there, but the farm is basically three midwest counties across. Nighttime is the worst, as each one has a blinker light on top. Sometime they coordinate, sometimes they don't. Its a Ford/Chevy argument which is worse.

Best part, they surround the Dodge City Airport/Radar Station so there are all these false reading - really cool during tornado season.

What these anti-technologists don't seem to get, is if the power gets shut off, they think people are just going to sit in their hovel and take it. No, the Black Forest and anything else burnable is going to be chopped up into itty pieces of firewood. Well until enough people find grandpa's old rifle and form security for wood choppers, then the scavengers will be gunned down no warning.
