Aptronym #4
On an aptronymic roll this week! Good bit of Schadenfreude here as well, as the Krauts finally come to terms with reality and quietly abandon Green shit.
(Yeah, I know it's not an aptronym in German, but the article is in English.)

Meanwhile, the suicidal idiocy continues right here in Eastern Wash. Nobody in this totally fucked former "country" has enough fucking sense to slow it down.
No aptronyms on this one, just reagent-quality lunacy. This particular lunacy affects me directly, since my electric rates will rise dramatically to finance the extra natural-gas generation needed to run these hippieshit oh-wow pinwheels. And then to subsidize the remediation projects for the forests that are eaten by bugs because the oh-wow hippie pinwheels are killing all the bats. And then to finance the treasonous teardown of all dams to eliminate all competing sources of genuinely clean energy. And then to finance the teardown of the turbines when the subsidies disappear and the towers start to fall.
With any luck, the whole fucking former "nation" will have collapsed by then.

Just northwest of the town of Oaksdale in a region known for wind, this project is the latest for First Wind, a Boston-based company with 13 wind projects across the nation. Avista Utilities of Spokane has signed a 30 year agreement with the company to provide power to the immediate region.
