No, when it gets down to that, and wind is your only option, the greens will turn on wind power too.

What they want is no power.

squirrels here raid the bird feeders. We have a bit more winter in Wisconsin than they do in Washington. They even manage to survive sub-zero temperatures as do the rabbits.

“People don’t need to smoke cigarettes, but they have needed energy for many decades,”

People have needed energy for as long as there have been people. Back when human muscle was the only source of energy we had access to life was short and brutal. This is what the greens want to do, return us to the stone age, before even the discovery of fire.

“Death knell to fossil fuel industry”—really? And then what? They are closing their nuke plants in New England, and there isn’t enough sun for solar, so 100% wind? How can anyone say such a thing with a straight face?

In reply to spo. Note that the agency involved in the squirrel case is Washington state's Department of Fish and Wildlife, as distinct from the federal Fish and Wildlife Service.

Obviously, the Fish and Wildlife Service has far too big a budget. It has lost any sense of perspective.

Rescue a squirrel and get a call from the cops. Who are these do-gooding statists?
