It is coming! Plenty in the mid-west. Here is on problem and it is just stupid. Some of these mills were proposed to be installed off the coast of Marth's Vineyard. Well, we know the Kennedy's reside there and they felt that their view of the ocean would be spoiled by these mills. The project scrapped. There was one case of a town that said the mills gave them migraine headaches or something like that. You can hear them woosh woosh of the blades. There was one program I watched were a small town installed a mill and this mill provided electricity for all in the town. That is a good success story. Mills are just part of the overall picture but certainly a part. I think looking at ocean currents and wave action as the energy to turn turbine needs to be looked at more closely.
