#1 "Imagine if a similar effort had taken place at the turn of the 20th century with the auto industry and air quality," added Kraig Butrum, president and CEO of the American Wind Wildlife Institute, an umbrella organization for the wind energy industry and environmental groups. "We'd probably be in a completely different place when it comes to global climate change and energy dependence, because we considered environmental impact from the start."

We'd all be riding horses, like back at the turn of the century, when the stench from livery stables literally peeled paint.

An summers filled with skies blackened in urban areas by clouds of flies and other vectors sharing disease among the population. BTW, wonder if these geniuses would have done away with even the horse when the mountains of excrement became too large to 'recycle'? /rhetorical question

#5 Back at the time of the 70's gasoline panic, I remember some wit calculating that an effort to replace mechanical horsepower with real horsepower would raise the level of the San Jose Valley one foot deep in horse dung in one year!
Doesn't ANYONE read descriptions of how noisome and awful cities were, in the 19th century, with the dung and the dirt and the bodies of dead horses.
And hasn't any of these delicate flowers grasped how much s**t a horse produces in a day?

Sgt. Mom, most of 'em have no clue which end to feed, much less that it may produce a, shall we say, biohazard afterwards.
