This is too easy to pass up.Gov. Ed Rendell, Pennsylvania's chief windbag, held a press conference the other day at the Locust Ridge Wind Farm in Mahanoy City, Schuylkill County. The only thing missing was Al Gore.
Locust Ridge Wind Farm is the state's seventh and newest wind farm facility.
Standing in front of a 400-foot-tall turbine, Rendell indicated this project would help the Commonwealth gain energy independence over fossil fuels.
"Wind energy is part of our future," Rendell said. "It can do for Pennsylvania what coal and oil and gas did for us in the '20s and '30s and '40s and '50s."
If there was a way to bottle the hot air that Ed Rendell generates during the course of his duties as governor, Pennsylvania would gain energy independence overnight.
Throw in the 253 members of the Pennsylvania Legislature and we could supply electricity to the entire East Coast.
