I was shocked (not really) to learn that people are being paid to create and post memes that troll the renewable energy industry, even if they have no basis in fact.  What we have at left is a great example.

Wind energy has a high Energy Return on Investment (EROI), generally ranging from 15:1 to over 50:1 for modern turbines, meaning they return 15 to 50 times more energy than is used to manufacture, install, and operate them. Onshore wind typically provides higher returns (17–40+) compared to offshore (12–20), with energy payback times often under one year.

How Much Energy Is Required to Build a Wind Turbine?

From Frontieras North America:

Over a century ago, John D. Rockefeller transformed oil into one of the world’s most valuable industries. Now, thousands of investors believe something similar could be happening with coal.

Is Coal the Fuel of the 21st Century?

With all the bloodletting at the top of the U.S. military, it’s becoming clear why our Secretary of War is firing our top generals and admirals: they refuse to follow orders that are tantamount to war crimes, especially crimes are bound to result in the deaths of American soldiers.

Yes, this man sounded the alarm as he stepped down, but I find this anticlimactic.

I was hoping for something with the drama of “Mutiny on the Bounty,” where Fletcher Christian tells Captain Bligh, “You’ve given your last order on this ship!” while thrusting his sword through the bastard’s left tricep.

Another thing that makes this less than satisfying is the sad fact that men of integrity who have spent decades of their lives honorably defending our nation will be replaced by spineless wimps who will carry out these illegal orders.

Generals and Admirals Are Leaving, But Not Quietly
