As it has been shown consistently, small wind is a nonstarter, and the only thing special about this organization is the ferocity which which it fishes for new marks.

There current claim is the low “cut-in speed,” (see photo at right) meaning the wind speed at which the turbines start to turn.  This, of course, is completely irrelevant, since the power generated by a moving fluid is proportional to the cube of the velocity, and so low wind speeds produce almost zero power.

People have been dancing around the faith/reason duality for more than 2000 years.  Aristotle worked out the rules of logic around 350 BCE, and Thomas Aquinas assumed the task of using them to prove the existence of God in the 13th Century CE.
