Friends of Maine’s Mountains Spox: Wind Energy Does Nothing to Solve Climate Change

O'NEIL: "Well, you can do very little. And, again, the state of Maine started out 10 years ago with stars in its eyes. Said, you know, we need to get our boys home from Iraq. We need to get off of oil. We need to save the planet. And what turned out to be the fact of the matter was that wind energy produces electricity. We don’t use oil for electricity. Anything we do with wind energy here in America has nothing to do with our conflicts in the middle East. The amount that we can move the needle on co 2 using wind energy is deminimis. If co 2 is a problem and I don’t like to weighed into the rabbit hole of gun rights, reproductive rights or climate change. If climate change is a problem, wind energy does nothing to solve it."
