Jason Clement: entry

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg yesterday unveiled a plan to make the city a showcase of “clean energy” by placing windmills and solar panels on skyscrapers, bridges and coastlines throughout the five boroughs. But after analysts realized that this massive project would still fall woefully short of meeting the city’s energy needs, the mayor expanded his proposal to cover city residents as well. “To reach our goal of sustainable energy, we need everyone’s input, literally. If you can ambulate, you can generate.” via globalwarming.org

Maybe that’s because windmills are simply ineffective? Then again, if local government agencies can shove them down the throat of people like us, I’m sure they can do whatever they want in the big city, with a little money and help from other politicians.
