I can understand people not wanting their scenery disturbed..of course it should always be exceeded by the cost of war for energy...

But there are plenty of logged over places here that could be put to use..I personally find windmills pretty but some people will come up with all sorts of arguments. I think the bird concern can be worked around..can't they screen them? Anyway, you don't need blades..you can have more or a rotating can effect. And I guess some people are bothered by a whine they produce but these are pretty rural places. I wonder if they could be put right along roads..because there already is visual and noise pollution..but you would have to worry about cars crashing into them, them toppling on to cars etc..but maybe with a set amount of distance..I do worry about those big blades..mg
