EXCELLENT post. Personally I love wind farms. They are cool to look at and show a possible future as a major source of energy for an ever-hungry human race.

Quite possibly the stupidest thing ever said on GFY.

"Ruined" Lake Erie? How exactly? And you do realize that Oil and Coal are the industries that are actually ruining lakes and waterways by pollution, don't you?

The costs may be high and the benefits may be limited initially, but it is a huge step in the right direction. Give it time, and let the technology evolve.

I would tend to agree. To me, its a beautiful vision of energy & ecology. I *LOVE* the fact that we get electricty by tapping the natural energy of the planet with such minimal impact. I would take Wind Farms over Oil & Coal any day.

The bigger they are, the more efficient they are.
