Markermeer: Take a boat tour and marvel at 48 turbines rising from an artificial island, creating a haven for diverse birdlife. This unique perspective showcases the harmonious coexistence of technology and nature.
Westergoos: Cycle through a nature reserve, witnessing 69 turbines blending seamlessly with the landscape. Spot grazing sheep and listen to the symphony of birdsong as the wind dances with the reeds in a mesmerizing rhythm.
Wieringermeer: Stand mesmerized as 77 towering turbines, the tallest onshore turbines in the Netherlands, pierce the sky. Let the scale evoke a sense of wonder, reminding you of the immense potential of wind energy.
More Than Just Numbers: A Symbol of Hope
These wind farms are not just statistics; they represent the Netherlands’ commitment to a brighter future. By harnessing the power of wind, they reduce dependence on fossil fuels, minimize environmental impact, and create a sustainable energy model.

Obviously, this isn’t a real human being, though there are tens of millions with this perspective, so let’s treat him as if he were an actual guy.
No one’s going to hate you, because everyone with a brain supports border control and law enforcement.
You are, however, running the risk of being regarded as a moron. There are hundreds of points of domestic and international law, reason, and humanity that are being addressed every day along these lines.
Why don’t you go on keepin’ those doggies moving, and let the rest of us do our best to figure out how to treat immigrants legally and humanely?
The guy who sent me this writes Could not be any clearer than that.
We’ve all heard the adage, “If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.”
It has a nice ring to it, but it really doesn’t hold water in the real world, where counties with strict gun laws, e.g., Japan, England, and Australia have very low rates of violent crime.
Note: these countries don’t have an NRA, a fabulously wealthy lobbying organization that controls their lawmaking apparatus.
Moreover, outside the United States, it’s very hard to find a place where a potentially mentally unstable person can go into a store and walk out with a weapon of war, capable of killing 50+ people each minute.
