Mr. Burns Wouldn't Put Up With Shit Like This

Makes me wonder if they got Friz Freling to score their approach to the building.

You mean Carl Stalling? (I’m not sure if “orchestrate” is used in this sentence in the musical sense or the planning sense. If it is planning, then Freling makes sense. They’re both dead, anyway.)

Can we afford not to use it?

But many of the greenies don’t like windpower, since it tends to kill birds, and solar cells are bad because they take over animal habitats. :rolleyes: I’d love for us to switch to solar, wind, wave, geothermal, and other methods of generating electricity, but for every solution you propose some environmentalist nutjob is going have a reason for hating it.

Would that be a 1920’s style Amnesia Ray? I should think Mr. Burns can afford newer kit than that.

Certainly! He has his beloved Luger.

I got it, let’s burn Green Peacers! :eek:

Well, since we can already make synthetic petroleum out of turkey offal, I see no reason why we couldn’t do the same with green peacers.

However, since green peacers tend to be liberal, and therfore pro birth-control, we might run into problems with over harvesting, since the demand for fuel will likely outpace their breeding. Thus, we might be forced to look for alternative hominid fuel souces—such as the world’s (admittedly dwindling) old-growth hippie reserves, drilling for new greens and other assorted leftists directly on college campuses, illegal immigrants, etc.

Of course, we could always wait for nuclear fusion. It’s only 20 years away! (Which is what everyone’s been saying for the last 60 years, true…)

Theres always going to be some fringe basket-cases. As far as I am concerned, they can go live in a hut and name their children “starflower”.

Do you mean the revolver?

Precisely

Or we could just block out the sun with a giant dish so people are forced to turn to nuclear power.

We could also build cars that run on Lil’ Lisa’s Patented Animal Slurry.

@Try As I Might...

I hope I’m not making a very controversial statement by saying that wind farms have not developed in the midwest as they have on the pacific coast (OR and CA).

Here’s a map of total wind production (MW) by state:

Gu-uys! We’re supposed to be cracking wise-arse remarks and being snarky and silly and generally fun in this thread, not engaging in a meaningful, thoughtful debate on alternate energy sources!

Sheeesh!

Man 1: All right! We’re finally going to stop those corporate pigs from dumping that nuclear waste!
Man 2: Oh, no! Our boat is sinking!
Burns: It was I, you fools! The man you trusted wasn’t Wavy Gravy at all! [tosses a guitar away] And all this time, I’ve been smoking harmless tobacco!
