- Senator Lamar Alexander is a delusional jerkass. He thinks winfarms "destroy the landscape." So what's the alternative? Coal-powered plants, with their pollution, industrial sprawl, and mountaintop-removal mining? Insanity.

Take Tennessee Sen. Lamar Alexander, for example. Sen. Alexander hails from a part of the country that is home to â€oesix of the nationâ€s 10 largest carbon-dioxide-emitting coal-fired power plants,” according to Tennessean.com. You might think that Alexander is somehow beholden to the coal industry because of this, or that his Marthaâ€s Vinyard property and the debate over the Cape Wind project might influence him, or that the campaign contributions that flow his way from the most carbon-dioxide producing utility in the country are the source of his clean energy antipathy. Not so, says the Senator. He doesnâ€t like wind power, he claims, for aesthetic reasons. â€oeI think they absolutely destroy the landscape.”
