\"Got<\/a><\/p>\n

My opinion on Natural energy:<\/p>\n

It blows through our hair when the top is down on our convertible.  It blows up Marilyn\u2019s dress.  Dogs love it when they hang out a car window.  There are ceiling fans, upright fans, oscillating fans and Slurpee fans. (A little off track, I know, but don’t you just love a cherry Slurpee sometimes?)  All have kept us cool this summer, so why can\u2019t we use this \u201cwind\u201d on a larger scale?<\/p>\n

\"Nuclear<\/a>

Nuclear Power Plant<\/p><\/div>\n

There is talk about nuclear power for a new cleaner energy.  Maybe cleaner than before, but still toxic with a by-product.  Isn\u2019t that our whole problem?  Ok, so we wouldn\u2019t be using coal \u2014 an energy source we might run out of one day that is not clean burning \u2014 but I for one don\u2019t think nuclear is the solution.  Yes, I know France uses it, and it works for them… for now.  They also have a much smaller population.  About 65,000,000.  So that’s California and Texas combined.  What about the other 48 states?<\/p>\n

My suggestion\u2026Wind!  Wind turbine generators are a type of windmill that produces electricity by harnessing the wind.  It\u2019s natural and renewable.<\/p>\n

In Denmark (again I know, a smaller country), they discovered windmills in 1891.  In 1976, the first wind turbine was connected to the grid.  We use them right here in our very own Palm Springs, California.  It powers Palm Springs and the entire Coachella Valley.  By the way, that\u2019s me in the pic.<\/p>\n

\"Dual-Fired<\/a>

Dual-Fired Coal and Oil Power Station<\/p><\/div>\n

Some claim wind farms are unsightly.  Really?  Since when do gas or nuclear power plants spruce up a neighborhood?  If people are really that bothered by their aesthetics, let\u2019s make them pretty.  How hard could that be?  While I do think they make a visual impact, I\u2019ve always thought of them as cool to look at.  I always enjoyed driving to Palm Springs and watching the windmills as a kid.<\/p>\n

\n

Yes I know it\u2019s costly.  All the new types of energy sources are.  So were flat screen TVs when they first came out.  Remember when they cost $10,000?  \u201cNew\u201d holds a premium, but we have to look at the \u201cBig Picture.\u201d  Not a temporary problem solver, a band aid if you will… with yet another by-product the planet cannot sustain.  Our taxpayers’ money is spent on many things, needed as well as frivolous.<\/p>\n

Come on Obama \u2014 you found money for a bailout.  Our planet needs a bailout, and quick.  How about we start to set up an infrastructure of using renewable sources and not deplete our planet of what it can\u2019t handle anymore.  It would create jobs and new ideas (how about that attractive windmill?).  It would get the wheels (or blades) in motion on a national level.<\/p>\n
