From a windshield, through a scream…

…………. Wind farms look decidedly abnormal to me, especially at night. Sometime between the last two deer seasons, a wind farm went in south of my family’s old north Texas ranch house that I use for a hunting camp. Last winter, in the middle of a night, I drove in for a hunt and was astounded to see red lights flashing in unison all along the southern horizon. I didn’t know what I was looking at until daylight, when I could see the turbines. I was angry at those red lights; they weren’t supposed to be there, messing with my memory, flashing through my night. The creak of the sucker rod on an early oil well might have upset my grandfather in a similar way, but probably not. That creak meant money, just as the all night red flashes mean money to the ranchers south of my camp who might get to leave their land to their children, thanks to the wind leases. I shouldn’t complain, but I sometimes do.

MAWT was out in full force once again at the Silverdale Community Hall in St. Anne  on November 27th 2013..  The  Mothers Against Wind Turbines are a group of strong, determined and dedicated women.  Who with their family members will not stop the fight to preserve their communities against the relentless onslaught of wind projects being forced unto them.  The depth of talents and skills ranged from the cooking in the kitchen, dessert table submissions, and a large variety of crafts donated for the raffle table.  Smiles and laughter rang out throughout  but the purpose for the gathering was ever present. The year is drawing to a close and Christmas is just around the corner.  The true strength of this group is being agents of change.  The talk in the kitchen and the hall was  positive and focused on what can be done and what is being done next in the wind battles.  Today is the start of that change, and tomorrow will be the memories of yesterday.  Hope you can join us and see you next time.

WARSAW, Poland – For the first time ever, environmental groups have staged a mass walkout of a U.N. climate summit. Citing immense frustration with the lack of productive action in the COP19 climate talks, which have been dogged by a persistent rift between rich and poor countries on the responsibility of paying for climate damages, hundreds of people from dozens of environmental groups and movements from all corners of the Earth have voluntarily withdrawn from the talks. According to a spokesperson for Oxfam, around 800 civil society members (which is the label applied to all advocate and activist types at these meetings) have walked out. In a joint statement, group leaders offered that “the best use of their time” was to now focus “on mobilizing people to push our governments to take leadership for serious climate action.”

These environmental extremists can just keep on walking.  This is all about a wealth distribution scam and nothing about saving our planet.  The fact that there has been no increase of  the earths temperature in over 15 years  should be front and centre at these UN climate talks. These are crooks and con artists.  Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

If you can stand to read more of these brats whine……
