I felt sorry for our legislators. Sitting in that big building, knowing that the vote on which the whole world watches, might come up for a vote this week. And all they have to read up on, is the impossible garbled gobbledygook full of contorted language, supplied to them by the lobbyists of Delmarva Power.
So I thought to myself: why not offer them an alternative? One easy enough to read, that they could even delegate their kids to read it and report back to them around the dinner table of all the pros and cons………One that was perhaps fun to read, and did not have an agenda, as did those writings provided by Delmarva?
Wouldn’t it be nice if our legislators had all the facts placed in front of them for a change?
And so here, for the first time ever, is a compilation of everything I have written about wind……
Of course, if you are not a legislator, you are certainly welcome to browse this catalog anytime you feel like having a couple of questions answered.
I thought I would organize it in chronological order, since most of you reading today are familiar with the most recent posts, but many of you weren’t around to read the earlier ones.

(Wow, for the first time I have just realized how much I have written, and that this is my one hundredth post on wind.) What I find even more amazing, is that there is more out there that still needs to be said.

You’re not suggesting that we go back and read all of this, are you? For that matter, have you gone back and read it all?
My favorite is the one about NFL Commissioners annulling the Super Bowl.
Keep up the great work.

It was an arduous enough task just to link to all of them. And there were a couple of posts which I didn’t remember and wondered just what I had written about. 🙂
However, anyone needing facts at their disposal, to take on the doublespeak given by utilities who do not want to sign long term contracts, should be excited to have such a volume of information all in one place…….
Some advice to newcomers. Click the links. That is where the hard evidence lies. Most of which exposes the utilities position as being faulty, at best, and an outright lie, at worst.
