You want to know what I find funny about this sort of Climate Change bullshit? Here in Kansas, the average person thinks its all a scam and will laugh in your face it you come at them preaching your Sun Monster religion. So, how much of the grid do you think is renewable? Well, 42% is wind power. Why do we use so much wind power? Because in Kansas, when you say "There is no wind today", what you really mean is "There is a light breeze today" because there is no such thing as "No wind in Kansas".

But this was done not because we had governors who demanded we do this. God knows if that was the issue they would be having a cow over Jeffrey. No, we do wind turbines because it is cheap and efficient and it works, much like the windmills of our forefathers on the prairie.

In fact, locally it is the climate activist who complain the most about the turbines because "Its bad for the prairie!" and "It ruins the skyline!" And like when they push their Sun Monster religion, people just blow them off for those complaints too.

But if you ask the average Climate Cultist, we here in Kansas are a bunch of Neanderthals because we dont agree with their religion. Imagine that.

Whichever form of power generation you use, from solar to tidal to gasp nuclear, there's an argument (albeit hysterical increasingly-hysterical more hysterical than usual in the case of nuclear) against it; the aim isn't to get you to use "green" electricity. What they seem to want is you to stop using electricity.

They're like the injun I saw a while back who was bitching about how he didn't need white folk or white civilization and YEAH, he damn well wished he was still living wild and free in the stone age .. until it was pointed out that he'd have no computer to bitch or play gamez on, and he'd have to walk everywhere because no horses or cars.

And of course, it was a Toronto injun, the ones out here don't talk like that. His initial problem was something about some bones or maybe a funny-shaped rock found in High Park. Like Natives would have died on every inch of land over the course of a few thousand years, and not all of them had burial customs.

And what look like human-altered rocks aren't always. They recently found that a certain species of monkeys that lives in the same place proto-humans allegedly made warez, likes to break rocks to get at the salts inside by throwing them against other rocks to bust them. The resulting shards look like man-made hand axes, but these particular monkeys have no apparent use for those. So now palaeoanthropologists have to go back and re-examine every so-called man-made stone age tool from pretty much anywhere this or similar monkeys live. (The two species of monkeys who DO use stone tools, well, they're made for monkey hands, I guess, and so are more easily distinguishable from human-hand tools. And yes, I do mean monkey when I say monkey, if I meant ape, I'd use that word.)

I think the funniest one was they went to some rancher who was letting the power company build turbines on his land in exchange monthly payments. They told him he was ruining the “picturesque skyline” by building them, and the rancher told them “Tell you what: if you pay me the same for that skyline, I will take them down.” The activist shut up real quick.
