With improving telescopes and spectroscopy, we came to learn in the 20th Century that Mars is in reality a cold dry and dusty planet. Colder than Antarctica and drier than the Sahara, it has less than 1% Earth's atmospheric pressure, and 97% of that is suffocating CO2
Increased turbulence and storms first observed on Jupiter more than two years ago are still raging, according to astronomers from the University of California, Berkeley, and the W. M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii, who snapped high-resolution pictures of the planet earlier this month





Maybe the government forgot to put his massive need for connection to the grid in their stimulus bill.
The U.S. Department of Energy has 60 days to set up a competitive process to award an estimated $4.3 billion for projects that will upgrade the nation's electric grid. That's one of the top clean technology provisions of the $787 billion economic stimulus package President Barack Obama signed into law Tuesday (Feb.. 17).
Construction has ground to a near halt as developers wait for the Obama administration -- which has said green jobs and alternative energy will be a key part of its $787 billion stimulus package -- to deliver on promises that include allowing companies who build wind farms to collect tax credits quickly, ...

Yep, an opaque brain would miss it entirely. It is similar to the stupid idea of cap & trade. When/if it becomes law then the main idea will be to get carbon credits & sell them at a higher rate the whole purpose being lost in the bubble of a new boondoggle. If I were T Boone or whomsoever I would state my goal to make a lot of money selling wind energy.

The struggling, foreign-owned wind power company that laid off two-thirds of its Arkansas workforce earlier this month after receiving more than $30 million in aid from the federal government also received $15 million from the state of Arkansas and was heavily promoted by the state’s Democratic governor.
LM Wind Power, a Denmark-based global wind energy firm, promised to bring 1,000 jobs to Little Rock, Ark., when its manufacturing facility broke ground in 2007. In return, it received $15 million from the state and a multitude of tax breaks.
However, early this August, just days after a $32 million loan from the Export-Import (Ex-IM) Bank was approved to a Brazilian company to purchase LM Wind turbines from its Arkansas facility, the firm laid off 234 of the Arkansas plant’s roughly 300 workers.



for those who poo poo alternative energy solutions ...Denmark Just Produced 140% Of Its Electricity Needs Via Wind Power
does it not just feel better than drilling for oil in the arctic ?
