It's Windy in Long Island

The Long Island Power Authority approved plans for a 90 megawatt, 15-turbine wind farm off the shore of Long Island, the nation's largest project to date.

The $740 million project will begin construction in 2020, powering 50,000 homes upon completion and moving New York closer to Gov. Cuomo's goal of developing 2,400 MW of offshore wind power by 2030. At 256 square miles, the farm is large enough for the developer, Deepwater Wind, to build as many as 200 turbines in years to come.

The federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management has awarded 11 sites for offshore wind farms, including along the coasts of Massachusetts, Delaware, and Virginia.

Agelbert  NOTE: Trump hates wind turbines with his typical lack of objective reasons for this animosity. For example, he talks about bird deaths from wind "mills" (he can't seem to call them by their proper name  ;)) but TOTALLY ignores the gargantuan bird deaths from OIL Refineries, Chemical Manufacturing Plants, fossil fuel power plants AND nuclear power plants. I wonder how this PUPPET of the fossil fuel industry will try to sabotage this wind project. Make no mistake, he will definitely try to sabotage it. Logic is not his thing. He is a man on a profit for the polluters mission.

Keith Olbermann thinks Trump is nuts. I think he is a megalomaniac, but I don't think he is off his rocker. That said, I agree with Olbermann that Trump's actions lately certainly have not been rational. The video aside, it is fascinating to watch the right wingers try to imagine Trump's actions as "reflecting a reasoned approach."  ::) The straw grasping attempts by the right wingers to give legitimacy to that POS POTUS are pathetic. But I'm sure the "greed is good" crowd will keep trying celebrate their megalomaniac leader.      

A Plea to Trump Fans: This Man Is Dangerous

Oh, and I hate to brag, but I DID accurately predict that it would RAIN on Trump at the Inauguration.  ;D


Washington, D.C. presidential inauguration weather history

By Justin Grieser

January 16, 2013

Agelbert NOTE: This article is informative, as well as being educational (before 1937 inaugurals were held in March - BUT the weather was actually COLDER than the average of January 20th inaugurals!  :o). Anyone who reads this article objectively (i.e. someone who isn't a climate denier propagandized fool or a propagandist liar working for the fossil fuel industry) and then looks at the forecast for January 20, 2017 will not fail to notice the accelerating trend of Global Warming.

SNIPPET:

What are typical weather conditions on Inauguration Day in the nation’s capital? And which years had the warmest, coldest, wettest or snowiest ceremonies?
