New Hampshire drivers....have to be the slowest I've ever experienced anywhere. Last season every single damn time I got on 16 off 302 to head up to wildcat I was stuck behind someone with NH plates going 35mph in a 50-55 mph zone. Now that I live here, I get stuck behind someone going 35 in a 45 zone on the road to the highway near my place. DRIVE THE SPEED LIMIT PAHLEEZE!!!

When your really looking forward to putting something special on the grill and you discover your out of gas.

You start watching a movie from Netflix and it's the same movie you got a couple of weeks ago.

And we store the generate power in what for the times when there is no wind or the sun isn't shinning? OH yeah batteries .. millions and millions of batteries. Where do they go at the end of life? .. ok here is the twist of my industry no power can be generated unless it is being consumed on the other end.. For large scale generation wind and solar can never cut it .. maybe peak loads. Most generation is base loads and then you have your peak load plants. Nuclear is only good for large scale base loads.
My company builds, owns and operates the most wind farms in the country. That being said they make their money off the them through the federal subsidy only .. Last year Congress all most did away with it and the company was making plans to unload all the farms at the time. Wind isn't viable and the wind turbine are ugly to look at .. There is no such thing as "Green" it is a marketing ploy .. everything has a "negative" impact in some form...

I'm still waiting for GSS to post how the Count To One Million thread annoys him.
