Darn zoning can be great to have or an issue down the road.

Elkins WV. Skyline destroyed. But hey, the lights are on!

I have seen these in person. I agree. Pig ugly. Not to mention each has a strobe light for alerting aircraft. It looks like Close Encounters of the Third Kind at night.

Sheesh...waiting on scientific reports on what these wind farms do to the environment. I'm sure there is something. Bird kills, disrupted breeding of the Blue Booby or sonar disruption of the bottle nosed dolphin.

Forget that. The amount of chemicals needed to produce one windmill blade is abhoring.
We made master models and ended up with tons of waste, non-reacted resin, used paint thiner, bad batches etc. and then someone has to make the mould and then someone has to make the blade. Not to mention our CNC milling machine used more power than a windmill will generate in 5 years.

We had us a good old fashioned uprising here in Somerset County some very knowledgable people banded together and threw the money grubbing bums out.

If you hear about wind farms coming to a town near you. I recommend you read some at the link above.
