Don't forget that is just one turbine. In the area where I work off the farm there are 35 of them up already and that is just within a couple of rural blocks. Piles more in the area and getting installed elsewhere.approval for more all the time. When zoning was requested to put one up right outside of a town, it was turned down. Hard to think that wouldn't happen elsewhere.
I agree we are all going to have to do our part, but denying there are any problems is not a way to get people on board. I also think we need to think about the huge amount of public money is going into these private companies that might provide better returns invested in other ways like conservation and co-generation and other things. I also have to wonder when huge polluting energy companies are getting in on the act. Is this just a way to 'write off' environmental destruction elsewhere? That I think is at least an open question.
