I thought the flying birdshredders idea was the Parnassus of Thermageddon Monger idiocy--I stand corrected. In their never-ending campaign to convince the underinformed that Carbon Crucifixes are actually a viable alternative to fossil fuel-generated electricity, "scientists" have assigned them a new benefit--saving us from (AGW-created, of course) Hurricanes. Drink in teh stupid...
Not anywhere near hurricane-force wind, either. But hey, I can imagine something too--Imagine the wondrous benefits of toxic rare-earth metals from 70,000 birshredders washed into a major city by a category 5 tidal surge.

"if it was feasible to build tens of thousands of wind power turbines off the shores of some of America’s cities most vulnerable to extreme weather, those cities would see lower wind speeds and less severe storm surges from approaching hurricanes."Well, as to that, if it were feasible, I'd have a 12-inch trouser snake and would shit 24-carat solid gold. And even if Santa Claus could grant this 70,000-windturbine wish--because #UnicornFarts--it, sadly, wouldn't generate the .3 TW the models project. The problem is...wind...

Why don't these vulnerable cities just declare themselves "hurricane-free zones?" Problem solved. The only cost would be a sign on the beach informing hurricanes that they're not permitted within city limits.
Just so, Eric. But of course, cost is no object when it's #ForTheChildren.
These people are uber stupid.
Speaking of "the wondrous benefits of toxic rare-earth metals" Some time ago you posted a link to an article on a town in China where the stuff is mined/processed which I can no longer find. Would you happen to remember the link? Thanks.
Chainsaw--That vacation mecca is Lake Baotou.

SG, one would think that the GreenTards would want to save the Rare & Endangered™ rare-earth elements in the same manner that they want to "save" the Rare & Endangered™ poley bears, wouldn't one? One would think that they'd be protesting and locking themselves to the ChiCom machinery that is ripping these precious minerals from the sensuous folds of Mother Gaia's virginal vagina to keep them from being turned into Blood Batteries™ and Blood Bird Shredders™.
Alas, BC, the Ecotards can only protest against Blood Batteries made by EvilTotalitarianCorporateLackies of the west.
Look at what Putin did to the Greenpiss morons who didn't even get close to the oil rig they wanted to climb.
Then look at what the Norks just did to Dear Leader's uncle.
I think the Chinese response to Ecotards at Lake Baotou would be to throw them in.
OF course, a lot of people would pay to see that...
Who wants to help negotiate the video rights--I don't speak Charlie.
I'd pay a dollar to see that. Hell, I'd pay $10 to see that, and think it cheap, and hilariously entertaining.
