Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for April 22, 2013

Now you’e on the Fink’s hit list, Wiz.

You guys offended Nabuquduriuzhur and such you need to apologize.

How true

now blanch will have to kiss him.

Recycling is usually a BLUE box, so Rodney, the King would have been turned into a Smurf.

Vestas says that even under low wind conditions 8.6 months are sufficient to repay the energy required to build a wind turbine with a return of 28 times over 20 years..In contrast, solar needs 3.2 years to break even. To be ultimately green, the wizard needs a spell to extract energy directly from sunlight or moving air or water without physical mechanisms like dams, turbines, panels..Of course that might be the source of his magical power in the first place.

If you are to build a dam anyway, the hydroelectric power is pretty cheap – at the expense of the displaced land, people, the changes it does to fishing, etc. Everything we do affects something else. Yearly floods distribute natural fertilizer, without the yearly floods, the land wears out.

I wasn’t aware Kermit the Frog was considered a philosopher.

Wow, this strip is hopping.

I think if I were Kermit I’d be insulted!

Careful, the wiz could do much worse.

This is a COMIC STRIP people! We don’t need to turn it into an environmental debate! Sheesh….
