    Wind and solar power have killed millionsQ. Recent studies have suggested that devoting American land to growing biofuels instead of food is causing massive deforestation in carbon rich tropical forests. How can switchgrass and cellulosic ethanol be viable if it's just causing food to be grown in these highly sensitive ecosystems thousands of miles away
    What?
    I mean this scandalous piece of junk science is like saying that the metals used to manufacture wind turbines and solar panels, have led to the death of 5.5 million Congolese who got caught up in a natural resource conflict of unprecedented proportions.
    It's absurd.
    Let's stick to what we can prove, please.

    Great intentionsBut just as with Barack, full of misinformation on energy and ag policy.
    It's easy to see where he got these mistaken notions, as he says he was hired by NRDC.
    Good support for wind power though, that's a really good sign.
    Has he ever heard of the Prairie National Park?  Probably not.
