[QUOTE="74honker, post: 2469970, member: 113930"] I agree, that is a beautiful herd of angus. As for the clutter in the background it's an eyesore! I've been told by more than one person in the energy field that those windmills are phony. If they factor all costs of construction, easements, actual windmill, upkeep, and life expectancy, they will NEVER make enough electricity to even break even to pay for themselves. At the same time the gov pays conventional powerplants NOT to run at their capacities AND subsidizes the windfarms to make them look good. Same goes for all this emission control stuff on your vehicle. Take a diesel pickup for example, in the late 90s early 2000s we were getting 22-25mpg no problem. Then they get this brilliant idea to choke them down with all this junk and additive and now you can get maybe 15-16mpg. Friend of mine the second his warranty went out tore all that junk off, reprogrammed the ECU and went from 15mpg to 24mpg in 2 days worth of work. I may not be the smartest person but tell me how this works. How is burning almost twice as much feul per mile equate to doing the enviroment any better? [/QUOTE]
