Tuesday Video: Wind farms could blow Earth off orbit, coal lobbyists say

Is wind power too dangerous for America? This video is proof.  It shows a new advertisement from the American Coal Lobby warning that wind farms may blow the Earth off orbit. "We like this planet. Let's not blow it... away," the advertisement says.

The video also prepares you for a new documentary called "Terminal Gust," that captures one small town's plight as they suffer from wind whistling into their water supply. "Oh my god, kids could drink that water and get wind in their brains," one panelist says. "Unlike coal, we don't know what wind is. We don't even know where it comes from."

Enjoy after the jump. (Okay, it's from the Onion but there's always a bit of truth to the comedy.)
