    Not to mention that windfarms reduce wind and make the surrounding area heat up as a result. #gizmodoremainders

    @EBone: Well, considering it's a real world problem, I don't even know how to reply to your ignorance, except to tell you to go to San Francisco in the summer time, when they used to have a cooling wind coming down from the mountains.

    You know we can't get energy for free, right? Hydroelectric power reduces water flow and causes the destruction of wildlife both upstream and downstream. Solar power has local heating problems that CANNOT be fixed, and massive wind farms destroy the natural heat transfer created by wind patterns. #gizmodoremainders

    @exoren22: You really believe that the turbine blades take the wind "away"? That the wind doesn't turn the blades and keep on blowing past, over, and around the blades?

    @EBone: exoren22 is right though I don't know to what degree. Conservation of energy means there is no free ride and no perpetual motion machines. Just like a hydroelectric dam can slow a river to a trickle, wind farms use the wind to do work, thus depleting some of the kinetic energy in that wind. But once again, I have no idea of the total energy of the wind or how much energy is extracted so I could not testify to the effect.

    @runamok1001: Do yourself a favor and look at an isobar map of the United States. They measure pressure gradients. Wind is generated when air moves from high pressure areas to low pressure areas.

    Isobar front lines are hundreds to thousands of miles long. Wind projects don't even show up on the scale we're talking about here. It would be the equivalent of trying to stop the Mississippi River with a 2x4. #gizmodoremainders

    Wind turbines really don't kill that many birds in comparison to things like planes, trucks and... trees. That's a common myth.

    Here's the google results for that.

    Grandpa bikes excluded (upright riding), a bike seat needs only provide support to the bony part of your bottom while minimizing interference and chaffing with your thighs. This is why racing seats look so terrible, but are actually quite comfortable. This seat seems to give you a choice of supporting your weight on your anus or testicles. #gizmodoremainders

    @92BuickLeSabre: a wind turbine of the vertical axis variety, about the size of a water tower, would probably do very well at both generating electricity and getting rid of pesky pigeons. And properly designed it could also have a receptacle for the remains so that they could be put to good use. Then we'd have cheap electricity and we wouldn't have to make soylent green out of people anymore.

    @i heart galaga_Nick: 3 buttons look better with just the middle button done. If the suit hangs properly, it hugs your waist line and has a slimming effect. Four button suits and above should only be worn if you are under contract with either the NFL or NBA.

    @i heart galaga_Nick: I tend to believe that the bluetooth headset should be in the ear farthest from the driver's door in a car, so that if you're having a conversation in the car, you can still be aware of hazards while driving.


    Therefore, for most of us it's the right ear. If you're in the UK, Japan, or any country that drives on the left side of the road, use the left ear.
