"wind farms like this one in california..."

exactly, of the hundreds of these monstrous scams only 5 were actually turning.

This is very typical, you can drive over the altamont pass any random day/night of the year and the entire massive acreage is sitting there doing nothing.

well nothing except generating tax dodges for the con men who pushed this scam thru.

personal turbines = good, mega-corporate wind farms = fraud.

FYI, the song is "New Speedway Boogie", and it was written by the Dead about the Altamont Free Concert and intended as an indictment of both the concert itself (the Grateful Dead were supposed to play the show, but cancelled and left after the violence at the concert increased, specifically after Marty Balin of Jefferson Airplane was knocked unconscious by a Hells Angels "security guard"; Jerry Garcia reportedly spent part of the show hiding under a trailer) and a subsequent article about the concert by rock critic Ralph J. Gleason. The lyrics take on a lot more meaning when you have that in mind: "Please don't dominate the rap Jack (Ralph) / if you got nothing new to say", "Now I don't know but I been told / in the heat of the sun a man died of cold", and "One way or another / this darkness got to give".

Can anyone tell I'm a (formerly even "grater") Grateful Dead fan?
