Dem's - Repubs - Lib's?

Wouldn't it be nice if all of the money spent on smear campains would be used to put say wind turbines in peoples yards that wanted to have them. How much good do you think that would do for the United States?

Update:

1.5 megawatts per hr I don't think so

and what noise

Update 2:

point being is to do some good for the US and the world

    Yeah I really get sick of the fear, hate and character assassinations that have come to characterize political campaigns as of late. The money would be much better spent on...nearly anything.

    What is the attraction to wind turbines? They're one of the least efficient energy sources invented. You would need a wind power farm about the size of Texas to power a single city the size of New York!

    Wouldn't do much good, considering wind power is probably the most inefficient energy source. And can't be used once winds exceed something like 45 mph. How about just switching to nuclear power. The cleanest and most efficient energy source available.

    I think the NIMBYs would have a fit that they had to look at their neighbor's wind turbine...

    But I digress. Yes, the money spend on ugliness could do so much more.

    I prefer funny political commentary over noisy wind turbines.
