What got more attention this week?
That a wind turbine dropped a massive blade into a cranberry bog,
or that a US District judge said “tilting at windmills” is arbitrary & capricious?
If you heard the stories at all,
you are among the few paying attention
to the to-dos
& kerfuffles
that this week gave a win to wind power.
Perhaps we’ll see a few more whirling wonders in the world.
Just because someone doesn’t like it,
doesn’t mean they can stop it.
Just like This Week in Science.
