    Burke County Wind Farm Denied

    Even though this video is a bit long and 3 years old, watch it. It gives a very good update on where we are at with renewable energy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwSkQa1tNmE

    Burke County Wind Farm Denied

    Unless you guys can prove otherwise, wind is cheaper than coal to produce energy. Yes, it's not windy every day and therefore we need other types of power production. Wind isn't just a feel good thing we do. It produces cheap energy. Should it be subsidized. Probably not. I think most of...

    Ok smart asses, how and in what situations do you use them? I guess I'm doing something wrong.

    Jigging Raps vs Spinnig Reels Anti Reverse

    My question is how have you been doing using jigging raps? What situations do you use them in? I have some. Tried them on a number of occasions and have not had any success. Al Lindner said they were the next big thing but I've had no luck on them.

    Burke County Wind Farm Denied

    For those of you who say that we should stop subsidizing wind, I would agree. Forbes has several good articles about. At this point, its cheaper to produce wind energy than coal. I get why they started to subsidize - it brought down the costs of wind energy dramatically. But now it should...

    Burke County Wind Farm Denied

    Come one, I'm guessing you are trying to bait me. Nobody is saying that renewable energy is 100% free and takes absolutely no input costs. NOBODY. However if you want to go that route why don't you take a look at a coal fired plant. How much resources go into making one of those? Do you...

    Burke County Wind Farm Denied

    You are only partially correct. The info I used was old. The older wind turbines were typically stated as producing 1.5 mW per year but typically would only produce .5 mWatts per year. According to this article, the new ones produce more. https://www.wind-watch.org/faq-output.php However...

    Burke County Wind Farm Denied

    I don't know the answer but do you really believe that it actually takes more fuel to make a windmill than it makes over it's lifetime? Honestly do you think it's close? I did some calculations based on info I found on the internet. From what I found, .0016 barrels of residential fuel oil...

    Burke County Wind Farm Denied

    Let me be the one lone voice on this site to support wind farms. I get that a lot of the power generation goes out of state. I get that right now being being environmentally friendly is a political issue. Republicans/Conservatives own the issue of burning coal because its cheap. Liberals own...

    Near Sturgis SD at Bear Butte

    I just drove by that Butte on Sunday. Was in Rapid City for a tournament. I also took a nice picture that weekend, south of Rapid City. Not as dramatic as Bear Butte but still pretty nice, especially for a cheap phone.

    Hulu + Live vs. Cable

    With midco internet, cable and phone, it cost me $175 per month. Got rid of everything except for internet which costs $50 (i get the slowest speed which is 50 mbs). But I do have Hulu which is $12, Netflix $12, and Prime $10.

    Hulu + Live vs. Cable

    I got rid of Midco in Bismarck and have a Roku box. I subscribe to Netflix, Hulu, and Prime. Also have an antenna. I've never looked back. In Bismarck if you get internet from Midco, you can use your Midco account info to get ESPN, TNT, TBS, HGTV, etc through your Roku box for free. That...

    Automatic Clay Pigeon Thrower

    I've used a lot of other peoples clay pigeon throwers and all I can say is that I can throw them by hand much better than any mechanical one. The downside is that you need someone with that knows how to throw them. The upside is that you can throw them faster, further and at whatever angle you...

    North Dakota has worst drivers

    I call BS on this. If we had the worst drivers in the United States you know damn sure the auto insurance companies would jack rates. In 2018, ND was ranked 44 for lowest auto insurance rates. Only 6 states are lower than ND. Yes everybody has a crapload of stories about how bad everybody...

    Used cell phone

    If you are going to buy a phone with internet for homework then you are going to be buying a smartphone with all features. Can't really buy a smart phone for only making calls and surfing the web and nothing else. I would suggest a very good and affordable motorola G5 or G6. Should be able to...

    -2 h.s. hockey coaches??

    I swear that I live in an alternate universe hearing some people talk or I'm extremely lucky. So many people like to say how bad kids are today, how kids are wusses, how bad parents are, everything use to be better. Maybe I've lived with my head in the sand but from what I've seen with my four...

    Deer Rifle Recommendtions for 12-year-old daughter

    in my opinion, whatever you go with don't go with a model just because it's light. Light guns will kick more and I'm guessing you probably will be sitting rather than walking so weight is only an issue when walking to your sitting spot. Have had four kids go hunting since they were youth and...

    Updated SB 2315 Online

    Correct. But the benefit to the hunter may be that we will then have landowner phone numbers if we need them and the database will also identify who owns the land.

    Thank you. I read through that I guess. I'm going to have to rethink this. It may not be as bad as I once thought.

    This is what I thought I had heard also: If the landowner does nothing it stays green. However after reading the bill as it is, I don't see anywhere where it says that land is designated as green by default: https://www.legis.nd.gov/assembly/66-2019/documents/19-0896-02000.pdf
