Texas oil man makes big bets on wind

I'm almost afraid to ask but why is this the wrong reason? Are we afraid that the guy is going to try to turn a profit?

I hope the guy makes out great.
Wind is a great way to make power, even at night.
It doesn't take much to get those 100 or 200 foot long blades moving.

Put those together with a bunch of solar panels & you got the world by the azz.

I figured out that about a 10 mile square of solar panels would power Reno nicely.

I never did figure out what that many solar panels & infrastructure would cost though. I might try that over the weekend.

I would genuinely love to try my hand at turning smaller cars & trucks to electric like a train...Or maybe even pnuematic.

I can't wait to see the beginning models of electric OTR trucks that can run more than a few miles.

There'll be money in making those & maintaining them.

Now is the time to get in on the ground floor of alternative energy even if it isn't the most "green" there is.

A decent improvement is all you really need.

The future is going to be a wonder. Can't wait to see it.
