@ Kirsten Korosec
I can't understand how one wind turbine could "take up 247 acres"? Are you saying that each of these windmills are actually 1.5 times the size of the Pentagon?? Even if you meant to say that the turbines would be placed every 247 acres (which at least is physically plausible), this still makes no sense... why would they be placed that far apart? They wouldn't.
I think you got your numbers wrong, and meant to say that the 5000 turbines would reside on a TOTAL of 247 SQUARE acres, which works out to a roomy 2152 sq. ft per turbine (247 acres=10.7 million sq. feet, divided by 5000= 2152).
Could you clarify this please?
