Thread Name: BS: Wind power
Subject: RE: BS: Wind power
I've never been close enough to a wind farm (or even a single wind turbine) to comment on noise. But the ones I've passed on the road (e.g. on the way to Palm Springs, or the half-dozen or so you pass on I-76 in PA vaguely near Somerset) I've found mesmerizing. To the point I have to force myself to FOCUS ON THE DAMN ROAD rather than the spinning blades.
Apparently they have small-scale units that only cost $6,500 now. Still high for the average person, but not totally out of the realm of possibility.
