Stewart, pretty funny!  On the other hand, kind of sad considering there are people who would believe it.  Should have come out on April 1st!

This is the reason we are still on fossil fuels, with the technology we have oil should be a thing of the past. The oil world smothers new technology and keeps us hostage to them, time to get away and into the future.

Hi Stewart - I'm going to have to share this with my new buyer who is looking for some land to build a bunker on so he can survive the coming comet encounter that will flip the earth's magnetic pole and END CIVILIZATION AS WE KNOW IT. I don't think he reads The Onion, but he would want to be ready.

Judging from all the videos we see of windmill farms, the percentage of windmills that are even moving is small enough that they're not likely to cause much trouble, or even electricity.

Hilarious! It's amazing how satire and reality can be so hard to tell apart.

HA!  I got a call from an out of town buyer a while back who said she couldn't live in my area of Loudoun County because of the danger of the Potomac River flooding the house when global warming came.

I'm at about 450 fee above sea level.  By the time the Potomac River got to me, all of the DC, NY and miles inland would be under water.

This could be on a comedy show, like 'Just for Laughs'. Your title hooked me. Bookmarked under humor.

That snack bar must've had a coke center Stewart.  You sent me on a tangent and I wound up at the Velocibus.  Who doesn't love Onioins!

I am sending a proposal to Congress that puts wind farms near The Beltway in Washington DC to take advantage of all the hot air.
