WIND, SUN, and SAND! John Shanahan February 23, 2020
Wind and sun vacations - Europe In America in 2020, they are also words in politics: Renewable wind and sun electrical energy, Bernie Sanders anti-fossil-fuels, free-handouts-for-everyone candidate for president. What kind of a country will the United States be in the future? What will be the choice for energy sources to drive the economy? Yesterday in Denver, the news was that the City Council met in secret behind closed doors to decide to put all government buildings on wind and solar power by 2025 and all the citizens and businesses on the same by 2030. I mentioned that to a neighbor. Before I could say the rest of the bad news, she said, "Goodie." I locked my lips shut in order not to ruin a very good twenty-year friendship. I've written and talked for years with her about the problems of wind and solar energy. She had seen everything I wrote and never openly disagreed. There were quotes by experts who have studied these "green" energy technologies in depth. The quick response that interrupted what I was going to say about the Denver City Council was simply one word, "Goodie" or "Goody" if you prefer that spelling. I was going to say that the state and local governments are causing great harm. 1
