I ran trains that hauled NYC trash to a landfill in Virginia. The trains that
went to West Texas were made up of tank cars loaded with raw sewage which was
being blown out onto the ground surface of a jillion acre ranch to be digeste
by bacteria. Don't know what ever came of it. There was some contention about
it, as you might imagine. But I don't think bats were being chewed up in any
blades.

Check out Sierra Blanca and Van Horn where they were setting up methane
plants. The poop was to be hauled in by train and dumped in caves where it
fermented or what ever and then gas would come out and turn turbines. Problem
was there are no transmission lines out there. They were going to get NYC trash
and so forth. A great idea that wasn't though through. Well maybe a great idea.

In reference to Bill's post, My hunch is that the coal plants in China would be
running either way and that they create much needed jobs there.The delivery of
the blades is a one time event, as they can be repaired in the field.Diesel
trains and boats have efficient motors, as do trucks, while simultaneously
delivering a wide range of products which creates jobs.They most likely just
need to mount a scarecrow on top of the wind-turbine.I see no reason a cave
tour company could not use a wind-turbine to charge batteries for headlamps or
to power lights in the cave.I would like to see a giant turbine mounted
horizontally at ground-level and let hundreds of unemployed homeless people
push it.It is too bad all these people exercising in fitness centers can not
convert that energy wasted into electricity. If I win the MegaMillions
jackpot, I am going to fix that.I have been eating pork-n-beans all week to try
to save money. It is too bad that I can not convert all this new methane gas
to power something.David Locklear
