I don’t agree with her politics (huge understatement) but I’m grudgingly impressed with what she’s accomplished. Adding this to my list of “Things We Can Learn From Our Opponents” and maybe adapt for our own purposes.

Can't she just be ignored because she's about to cark it so this shit won't affect her? Old white people, fucking the world up for the rest of us.

On a side note - aren't wind turbines bad for birds, of whom we have already lost an alarming amt?

Ban outdoors cats if you care about the issue, until then, I don’t believe it’s an earnest complaint, besides, they don’t kill more birds than any other large industrial building does

Not just a nimby quibble. Green energy projects are threatening to deplete Arizona’s last free-flowing river and irreparably harm the state’s 2nd largest intact wilderness area & one of the nation’s most unique biohabitats. See our site to learn more: www.lowersanpedro.org

The wind turbines in rural Oregon like Wasco county the farmers allowed on their land why? they get paid a lot of money, they get to farm and get free energy. Maybe Gilbert should ask the farmers in Wasco County?
