The Disadvantages of Wind Energy [humour]

AI Thread Summary
The discussion humorously connects wind energy support to domestic violence through a non-sequitur statement, highlighting the absurdity of such claims. Participants share anecdotes about wind turbines, including a report of ice chunks being thrown from turbines onto roads, which could potentially cause accidents.

Overall, the thread blends humor with a critique of illogical arguments against wind energy.

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup.
