A One-Point Argument in Favor of Wind-Power as the Next Primary Electricity Provider for Every Single Place in the Whole Entire World · 20 April 07

And the Wind Shall Blow

Point 1: Windmills are pretty.

THE END.

The windmills at Mt. Aso in Kumamoto, Japan:
Spinning near-silent, and double-plus giant.

  1. I’m convinced.

  2. Due to Global Warming (think of the polar bears, people), I fail to see how there can be an argument against using green energy. It just makes sense.

  3. It’s funny that one of the most common arguments against windmills is equally simple: they’re ugly. At least so say local environmentalists in Mass., and other states where large wind power projects have been proposed.

  4. Maybe people are afraid that if we have enough windmills pointed in the same direction, we’ll knock our planet off orbit.

    I can see it now: as the earth hurtles towards the sun to be engulfed in a fiery maelstrom of atomic fusion, a sweaty and disheveled Saleem, plastered to the ground from heat exhaustion, summons his final ounce of strength to wave his fist at the distant hills, screaming, “Damn you and your beauty, windmills!”

    It’s practically poetic. And so real.

  5. DAN: Huh, maybe they are ugly.

    Sometimes I look at stuff lately and get very confused, like, ‘Is this ugly, or is it beautiful?’ Really, I do.
    And maybe windmills are ‘HotOrNots’, and it just depends on where you’re standing when you look at them.

    Or how they did their hair.

    BYZEK: Thank you for keeping it real.
