In America’s continuing effort to become less oil dependent, wind power is about to receive an enormous boost. Politicians nationwide have agreed to start giving speeches directly in front of the turbines.
A bill that seems headed for approval in Congress would require all politicians in the country to set aside at least one hour a day for power generation.
It is estimated that their combined wind power would generate enough electricity to light the nation. And, as the efficiency of the turbines increases, political wind power could eventually supply the nation’s every electrical need.
Other nations, eager to limit their own increasingly costly dependence on imported oil, have also begun to debate the advisability of tapping their own treasure trove of political wind power.
The innovation will mark the first time that a socially useful role has been developed for true blowhards.
Tom Attea, humorist and creator of NewsLaugh.com, has had six shows produced Off-Broadway. Critics have called his writing for the theater "delightfully funny," "witty," with "great humor" and "good, genuine laughs." |
