548903 2007-05-11 02:51:00 Joe. Is Oklahoma a Windy State? Is there enough wind to support a Wind Farm to supply electricity? Perhaps this Renewable source would keep the envirogreens happy. PJ Poppa John (284)

The only wind in Oklahoma is from politicians, and they tend to scorch plants and animals .

Now, Chicago, on the other hand . . . is VERY windy (The Windy City . . . not to be confused with San Francisco on a calm day when a logging chain will tumble across the street in one of their gentle breezes) .

Whilst risking setting myself up for a dis . . . I guess you can say that we have wind farms here in the Palm Springs area . . . in what we call "Whitewater" . The wind there is pretty constant and can get up to a full gale sometimes .

Seasonally about September and again in February . . . and that seems to be counter indicative of the weather-nouveau theories . . . we get the "Devil Winds" or "Santanas" that can raise a ruckus with the pyromaniacs not knowing where to start the next immolation .

So . . . if wind harvesting is your game and you are looking for places to set new windmills . . . I suggest right here in Lamb Canyon where tonight, the wind is a whistlin' down the pike at a ferocious rate .


BULLETIN: Catalina Island (the one that is "26 Miles Across The Sea" in the song of fame), is currently on fire . Over 500 acres are gone; the town of Avalon MIGHT be gone by now . . it is just after sunset here in California .

Residents are huddled on the beach trying to avoid being killed by the fire and smoke . The logistics of removing people from the island is challenging, to say the least .

Hundreds of personal craft are sailing to help evacuate people and animals off the island . Nighttime launches are leaving Dana Point, Long Beach and Huntington Harbor with rescue personnel and just average citizens attempting to get friends and/or relatives off the island before it's too late .

We are lingering in single-digit humidity too . . . watch us burn next!

When a city is burning, just drop in a power station or two and generate electricity from it. When an energy shortage looms (again) the kindly police forces can start a riot and up will go another city. Graham L (2)
