The Right to Swing My Arms

Wind Turbines, Rusting Giants of the Environmental Watermelon Religion

I saw the once verdant wheat fields of Eastern Europe covered with ugly wind turbines, slowly spinning their huge blades into the wind. A few funnel dust swirls were blowing the topsoil into the air.

In the tradition of the little engine that could, Ford really could call its Flex crossover the minivan that isn't. That's because it isn't a minivan, but it might as well be. Even better, it isn't an SUV either, as compared with most "other" SUV's on the market. And it's a station wagon, too!
