A Rant about Stupid Liberal Beliefs in Myths

A wind farm can be very successful, from the standpoint of a liberal political leader, even if the are no transmission lines to connect it to anything. It provides jobs for those who make & install the equipment, and it makes alternative-energy believers very happy. You can always say that the transmission lines will be built later, following appropriate environmental review, or that a new, “planned” community (centered around electrically-powered mass transit) will be built right next to the wind farm, or that “green” manufacturing will be located there. It doesn’t matter if these things ever actually happen: you will still get the glory and someone else can worry about paying off the bonds.

where do you get the idea that wind farms are built with no transmission lines? this is YOUR myth that has been busted. does not happen. give it up. drop it. get over it. or support it. the one you claim has not transmission lines in MN/SD DOES indeed have them, as I pointed out, twice now.
