The best way is after several beers.

I laughed more at this than the original joke. Well done.

It depends mostly on the topology of the area around the river that floods. If the area that floods is very wide and flat the average flow velocity will stay nearly the smae as pre flood, where as if the river is in a narrow steep walled valley the flow velocity will increase.

You win. Go buy a lottery ticket.

Cool.

Still looks like it would float for a very long time, especially without all the agitation shown in the video.

Excellent answer.

The shape it left when failed is impressive. I would not have expected that.

I should have stated it the other way around- that cats kill 4000% more birds each year than wind turbines. Your math is correct.

They are good for the environment. They are relatively quiet- usually around 43 Db (an A/C unit is around 50 Db. They require some maintenance, but it's in line with other power plants for the amount of power they produce. They can catch on fire, so can your car, your house, and just about anything else. The reason you see video's of them on fire is that they are large and very visible, so when a fire happens it gets recorded. They kill birds, but far less than housecats (4000% less each year). They are usually designed to last around 20 years and make more energy than it takes to produce them in 5-6 months depending on where they are sited (wind conditions). There are also new ways being used to recycle the turbine blades so they don't have to be landfilled at the end of life. I don't currently work in the industry, but have in the past. Tell him to stop watching YouTube and research facts from reputable sources.
