DC Tom Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 LOL in the same week: New York State Thruway Authority announces windwill project in WNY, says it will generate revenue New York State Power Authority cancels windwill project in WNY, says it is economically unfeasible I believe that, under state law, those positions aren't contradictory.
/dev/null Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 The Thruway Department is creating green jobs. The Power Authority is cutting governmentn waste. It's a win/win situation!
OCinBuffalo Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 The Thruway Department is creating green jobs. The Power Authority is cutting governmentn waste. It's a win/win situation! Or, they are cancelling each other out....which means everything stays the same
Gary M Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 LOL in the same week: New York State Thruway Authority announces windwill project in WNY, says it will generate revenue New York State Power Authority cancels windwill project in WNY, says it is economically unfeasible "Thruway officials said up to $4.8 million is budgeted for the cost of the five turbines, which includes $500,000 in design expenses. Spokeswoman Betsy Feldstein said the windmills will reduce up to 35 percent of the $1.2 million the agency's Buffalo division now spends annually on energy." 11.43 years to recoup the cost, is that a smart investment?

I'd bet it's closer to 9 years as energy costs increase. Which is still not too smart...except it's GREEN!

Have they considered maintenance costs?
DC Tom Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Have they considered maintenance costs? "Maintenance costs? What maintenance costs? It's renewable energy."
IDBillzFan Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 11.43 years to recoup the cost, is that a smart investment? It is if you compare it to the Solyndra "investment."
3rdnlng Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 "Maintenance costs? What maintenance costs? It's renewable energy." Maybe now is the time for me to sell them my perpetual motion machine.

I'd hold onto that, it's going to be worth a ton of money once the Democrats find a way to repeal the Laws of Physics, which were enacted by Republicans so that BigOil can make profits
GG Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Have they considered maintenance costs? Yes, the dead birds will be used as dinner for the troopers.
3rdnlng Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Yes, the dead birds will be used as dinner for the troopers. You mean the same birds that know enough to fly away from their dinner table on I90 when a car approaches, but are too stupid not to fly into a giant blade? Survival of the fittest. If we had adhered to survival of the fittest in the human race we wouldn't now be debating with the likes of Dumb in Norfolk and Buttflex.
