In which we praise alternative energy sources. And alternative alternative energy sources.
Wind
The mighty turbines wave in the distance
Picking up the tiniest hint of a breeze
Spinning, all torque and tension
Constant motion unless the airflows cease
Energy, corralled, converted, contained
The dance of cloud and sky
Jet streams weave through Texas nights
Storm caps hold pressure on high
We use the wind to power our homes
To flood our streets with light
The winds of west Texas bring energy to the Gulf
And help keep us partying at night
But on, if the turbines aren’t spinning enough
If the skies are so calm and clean
Well, I know how to power our homes with homemade methane
Yes, the winds power created…from beans.
