It's hot out! turn the windmills on!

I told somebody the other day that the windmills off Altamont only turn on when it's hot out to help cool down the bay area, and they believed me

Wait.... if the windmills aren't used to cool the bay area then what are they for?


It's almost as bad as the people at the boardwalk that see Monterey and think it's Hawaii...

WOW to both of these.

Just to add to the list of dumb people, I've had friends make money off of instant water.

Reminds me of a story I heard about some people visiting the US for the first time. When they were driving through the Altamont pass they asked what the windmills were for and someone told them it was to keep the cows cool during the summer months and their response was "Wow only in America."
