Can you try 294 to 80 east, Cash?

Exactly. It's hard to take a moral high ground w/r/t renewable energy if you're causing avian destruction as a part of your operation. Oil spills are a (supposedly rare) accident, and accidents happen.

Modern turbines are large, spin slower and are placed on towers that attract fewer birds and are spaced further apart which also attracts further birds. So you get much less damage than from older wind farms.

But you know what? There is no Kilowatt Fairy, no BTU Bunny. No power source is zero impact. Solar cells on roofs include some stuff that is mined and processed in very toxic ways. Compact Fl bulbs have mercury.

The reason they are better is not that they are zero impact, but that impact is lower, and especially that impact is not such as is likely to bring down our civilization. And that is a good enough reason to support renewables. Fuck purity.

Hee--from the Onion: Evolutionists Flock to Darwin-Shaped Wallstain, in Dayton, TN, of course!

Kathy, they made us exit at 394, so we're shooting for something to get us to US 30. We're taking that to my hometown.

I'm trying to figure out where the hell 394 is at on the map!

Oh, okay (after googling), that's the Bishop Ford.

394 should take you to 30.

took us awhile to find it, too! But it connects to 30 so we're good. just creeping along for te last two miles.

thanks, Kathy!

I'm not too familiar with roads on the South Side, but I know of the "Bishop Ford Freeway" from the traffic reports. I've never heard it called 394, though after looking at the Wikipedia entry, I see that it's Illinois (state road) 394. If the Peotone airport ever gets approved and built, it'll probably be expanded to Interstate 394.
