What the deuce is "Wind Fraud"?

Wind Fraud

In Italy (where else?)

Italian finance police (who else?) arrested

two prominent businessmen -- including one

with ties (mafia, not paisley)

to an investor in the Cape Wind project

in Nantucket.

Heh. Heh. He said "Nantucket." What the deuce is "Wind Fraud"???

Update:

Good eye, Billy. Indeed, it was a blurb on the Environmental Leader website that inspired this bit of "found" poetry.

Update 2:

HP, I am so glad YOU said this. };-{>

I am thanking you from the heart of my bottom. pffft.

    falsely claiming rights to flatulatory expectorations

  • 1 decade ago

    It's an odd term for sure. But basically they took money to construct wind farms that didn't work.

    I don't know if that means the wind wasn't strong enough... though I can't see why that could be their fault, short of proper research, or if the turbines weren't made right.

    I knew someone would say 'flatulatory.' I figured it would be Mek, but Noooooooooo, it was HP. I'm telling Ronnie.
