RUSH LIMBAUGH CALLS WIND ENERGY "A HOAX" ONCE AGAIN

Font size:

For the past two years, and increasingly over the past few weeks. Rush Limbaugh has been making critical comments about wind power.  On January 27, Rush Limbaugh read an article about how wind turbines were having a negative affect on those who live near it.  After he finished reading the article outloud, Limbaugh stated:

"Poor people.  It's what happens with alternative energy.  Such a scam.  It's all such a scam."   

And on Monday (2/15/10), Rush read another article about wind, and afterwards, spoke critically of wind power when he stated: "Clean, green energy, yet another aspect of the hoax!"  The hoax Limbaugh was referring to was global warming.   

In 2008, Limbaugh said "basically we will find out in a few years after we struggle through this process and after we watch what has been going on in Europe that wind power is the next ethanol. In other words, it doesn't really work. It was a nice try. We wasted billions on it."
