Yay Windmills

All of a sudden I'm pro-windmills. Sure, they're unsightly and noisy but what if they work? I mean, I seriously doubt that a turbine the size of a Volkswagon that runs intermittently can supply enough power to really power much more than fifty houses, and I think I'm being generous with that figure, but think of the jobs they'll bring. Just a few minutes ago I saw an article that expressed concern that politicians are courting blue collar neighborhoods with hopes of making wind converts. This is proof that there are jobs in these windmills. Back in the Great Depression, the government created "busy-work" jobs to get folks working again. We could use a few of those jobs now. Worse case scenario, they don't work and we gotta tear them down. Hey, more jobs and srcap-metal to boot.
