Clue/Question:  The sea-based wind farm produced this type of energy(?) – – –

 

Answer:  “ALL–TURN–ATIVE“

(Everybody likes good clean pun!  Right?  You can’t get any cleaner than wind and solar power.  Argue all you want about the viability and reliability, and the economy of renewable energy sources.  They are nonsensical arguments, and largely just part of a delaying tactic, by the fossil fuel industry.  Oilman, T. Boone Pickens, used to rail against renewables, but now is heavily invested in wind farms.

No new clue words today, but three of the jumbles came up as new.  We’ve seen “cante” before.  The answer letter layout was a marvelous jumble.  It did a great job of concealing the answer.  Because of the cartoon’s water, the dialog’s reference to the North Sea, and the clue/question, I was trying to come up with some variance of NAUTICAL.  Until I realized that there was no “C”!  It was a fairly challenging Jumble!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Cryptoquote Spoiler – 11/24/17

“Truly appreciate life, and you’ll find that you have more of it.”   —   Ralph Marston

(This is a portion of a larger quote, from a regular guy, who makes a living being “The Daily Motivator”.  And for that, I’ve gotta hand it to him.  He’s not the guy who played a single NFL season for the Boston Bulldogs, back in 1929, despite what some meme creators seem to think!  Besides being a place of potential identity fraud, the internet can also be a place of both misinformation, and intentional disinformation.  So search, and process, all info with discrimination.  Then, when you have some spare time, ask some wordsmith why “indiscriminately” is perfectly acceptable, yet “discriminately” seems to be frowned upon.  LOL!)   —   YUR
