He is Bloomberg! You are like the buzzing of flies to him!

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has announced a plan to embrace alternative, renewable energy on a city-wide scale. While details are still emerging, this initiative's earliest form calls for windmills on top of buildings and bridges, solar panels wherever we can put them, and underwater turbines along the coasts and rivers.

Bloomberg unveiled his proposal during a speech last night at an alternative energy conference in... Las Vegas... ... ...

Anyway, the pitch involved Hizzoner casting an inspiring image of the Statue of Liberty's torch lit by an underwater wind farm. NOTE: The Statue of Liberty, along with Ellis Island and over 20 of the city's federal buildings, are already powered by windmills. Still, kind of makes you wonder, doesn't it? Whether she's naked under that toga? She is French, you know.

While These Bastards applaud any transition from fossil fuels to more eco-friendly options, we fear that the Mayor's proposal, though ambitious, is overlooking a major geothermal option sitting directly beneath New York City. And no, we don't mean the Giuliani Homeless Furnaces.

Behold, the solution to all our energy woes.
