Three Strikes - Wind Farm Realities

Three Strikes - Wind Farm Realities:
Opponents of wind energy have three strikes against them. I reflected upon these strikes while I was preparing for the discussion following the local showing of Windfall. These three strikes have nothing to do with the merits of their case, which if anything are growing stronger over time. Rather, they have more to do with human nature. The three strikes are:
  1. We are the bearer of bad news and people don’t like to hear bad news...
  2.  There’s no money to be made opposing wind energy...
  3. Wind energy has been so successfully marketed and is so intuitively wonderful that we are forced to show how useless it is, rather than the proponents having to show how wonderful it is...
