Thread Name: BS: Windmill Farms in Nantucket Sound
Subject: RE: BS: Windmill Farms in Nantucket Sound
We have wind-turbines in England. They look spooky,they make a moaning noise,& they only work when there is a wind.Why don"t people just use LESS electricity ?? Why all those lights on at night,along the edge of motorways,in shopping malls,etc.?? What electrical appliances do people have in their homes today,compared with 50 years ago ?? A TV in every room? A washing-machine? Spin -dryer? Dishwasher?
Deep-freeze ? Microwave? Ice-cream maker? Air conditioning? Immersion Heater for hot water?Underfloor heating ? Power tools? Vacuum cleaners?Refrigerator ?Outdoor quartz-halogen security lights ? Electric cooker? Deep fat fryer? Popcorn maker ?Blender? Juicer? And I expect there are more things !! The point is this-----The house I was born in,& lived in until I was 21 ( in 1969 ) had the following--- 7 electric lights (one in each room ) & 1 TV set. And that was all !! There were no other electrical appliances of any description, we didn"t need them,didn"t miss them, & we got along just fine !! SO--why do you actually NEED all this stuff in your lives ?? People got along without it for THOUSANDS of years----Why do YOU have to be so different? (and selfish !!) Get Real !! ( and enjoy the view of the stars that you"ll get !!)
