Haven't we learned our lessons yet about the DAMAGING effects that wind farms cause?
http://www.wind-watch.org But here we go again. It's about making a profit and teaching NONSENSE, to convince the public that this is an 'environmental' way to make energy. Windpower is only benign when it is scaled down to the family unit size. These monstrosities are TOO LARGE and kill an unprecedented number of birds and bats every year. Not to mention affecting weather patterns and the downstream turbulence that makes farm land useless for up to two miles. What's the alternative? We've known it all along, and the U.S. governing-of-the-mental refuses to subsidize the DECENTRALIZATION of energy production. So the playing field is uneven players, in favor of centralized power. Empower the family unit to do it themselves, then we'll get some lasting results. There is 20%+ line loss from the wind farm to the light switch. Not to mention supporting an infrastructure of ugly power lines everywhere that we've just grown up with and become accustomed to looking at. People don't even question it why everything we need for energy-production is centralized. It is similar to a baby elephant's foot which is tied with a strong rope to prevent it from escaping. As it grows up, it then only needs a thin line that it could easily break, to do the same job.
