There is a large oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico resulting from an oil rig explosion last week. The mess is large, growing larger, and headed towards the US coastline.
When these disasters happen more than a few folks immediately jump up on their soapbox and denounce oil, drilling for oil, oil companies and everything else oil related except perhaps for Oil of Olay, and olive oil. This is not to downplay the scope of the disaster, obviously oil spills cause a lot of damage. But lest we forget…oil IS a natural resource. But of course oil is not considered “green” in today’s world.
Wind energy, on the other hand, is considered “green”. It’s clean, renewable, and free for the taking. Tornados are a type of wind. A recent tornado set down in Mississippi creating a swath of destruction almost a mile wide and killing ten people.
So, why isn’t anyone denouncing wind?
