Anheuser-Busch is apparently trying to combine and promote the nostalgia of a song and the beauty of a team of horses along with the claim of using green energy in the production of their product. Your beautiful Clydesdales are degraded with the image of a false solution to climate change in the background. Wind power, the poster child of green energy, has permanently damaged the health of people and the environment not only in my state but around the world. For the sake of the many people through out the world who are suffering the loss of their health and property, please pull this insensitive ad.

To steal from another petitioner...Why would Anheuser Busch want to be associated with an industry that is hated wherever it goes?" It will certainly influence my purchases if they are naive enough to post these adds to the detriment of rural citizens

You have not done your homework on the destruction done by industrial wind. Hard to believe you can produce your product totally from renewable energy. Truth be told, you cannot.

We rural citizens have been preyed upon by disreputable wind developers selling lies. Intimidation and lies. Just lookup the history of Goodhue/New Era Wind. They harassed citizens. Threatened to sue our elected official. Made false reports and just out and out lied. When that failed they applied for a permit to kill the Bald Eagles in this important eagle use area in the Mississippi Flyway all after they lied and said they couldn't find any birds here. Our rural electric rates have grown exponentially since the first wind project was installed in MN. to support energy subsidies for energy produced when we don't need it and it cant be stored. No more Bud in this house!!!!!!!!!!!

Living beneath and dealing with the negative impacts of wind turbines is hell on earth. Many car advertisements, tv shows and movies shown in Australia depict turbines in the background, yet there is nothing clean and green about wind turbines. Power costs are now sky high and renewable energy is unreliable, causing fires, killing birds in vast numbers and forcing people like me from our homes. (See websites e.g. Stop These Things or DeFrock.org) Pacific Hydro told a community meeting they were "not building the wind farm to save the planet". I don't support buying any products promoting the wind industry.

Industrial Wind is a human health hazard. Ignroring WHO noise recommendations, ignoring manufacturer setback recommendations and driving people from their homes is INHUMANE. If this ad runs at the SuperBowl, I will never purchase another Anheuser-Busch product as long as I live

Wind turbines a joke and tax payers are the punch line.

Bottom Line: The wind energy industry is where environmental activists meet big business who join forces and lobby (buy) politicians who legislate corporate welfare. Or in short crony capitalism. The wind industry IS ALL ABOUT MONEY with taxpayers on the hook for north of 176 billion dollars (as of 2016) in federal grants, subsidies, loans and loan guarantees. The production tax credits that are hearlded to expire have been renewed 7 times and won't be going away no matter what big energy says. Despite being famous for touting the idea that the rich don’t pay their fair share of taxes, investor Warren Buffet seems to be perfectly fine with receiving tax breaks for making investments in Big Wind. He's quoted as saying: "I will do anything that is basically covered by the law to reduce Berkshire's tax rate. For example, on wind energy, we get a tax credit if we build a lot of wind farms. That's the only reason to build them. They don't make sense without the tax credit." In other words Buffett makes clear that wind energy is a bad investment unless they can make a profit off of working Americans. Certainly the wind production tax credit may be great for Buffet's, and the rest of the industry's, bottom line, but it's harmful for American taxpayers and energy consumers. Not one energy producer would invest their own money in this obsolete technology if it wasn't subsidized by the AMERICAN TAXPAYER. Meanwhile for those of us who are subjected to living with wind mills our quality of life is diminished, our health and welfare is jeopardized, and our wildlife is endangered. Wind mills will come and go in the next 20 years but the mantra right now is to get as much of the taxpayers money as you can.

Green energy.....NOT! When we learned about the amount of energy it would take to fabricate, transport and install these turbines, and thir shelf life, we were stunned. Iberdola, a Spanish company getting huge tax breaks tried to divide our rural community in VT and destroy the landscape here. Fortunately the town said no. Please read the research before you promote industrial turbines

Perhaps Budweiser should do a little research into wind and wind power and how destructive it is to rural America. Rather ironic the wind turbines in the commercial are out in the middle of nowhere so far from reality perhaps Budweiser should drive around and see where these wind farms get put maybe they should spend a little time talking to the people that live next to these pieces of junk.

Stop promoting wind energy. It is an experiment gone wrong. We lost our home due to the impacts from infrasound and loud cyclical noise. It is awful and nobody deserves to be treated so inhumanely.
