OK. I’ve posted this serveral times and yet have had someone tell me different.

I live in Bloomington. I work in Lagrange, GA. Everytime I come home I fly over the Champaign to Bloomington area. I’ll drive on I74 to Peoria. So in short, I’m looking at just about all of the hellatious eye sores of wind mills that blot the landscape there.

I’m told that the farmers there are paid $5000 per year to allow these erections on their property. They’re tall noisy structures.

HERE’S THE DEAL. EACH AND EVERY TIME I COME HOME, EVERY WINDMILL, PROBABLY WELL OVER 100, ARE ROTATING. THERE’S NO CLOUD IN THE SKY. NO WIND, AND YET THESE PROPS ARE ROTATING.

I SAY BS!!!

There is no way just 200 feet from the ground there is a Kitty Hawk style wind tunnel going through the heartland 24/7.

I say this is BS. As long as the blades are rotating the federal dollars will be coming.

ONLY NEWT SEES THROUGH THIS CRAP.

I have often driven by a virtual forest of windmills in southwestern Minnesota (Highway 23 near Holland, MN) that stretches from horizon to horizon. On many occasions I have seen ALL of these hundreds of windmills idle and others times just a few turning slowly and probably not generating much if any electricity. Only rarely did I see all of them turning at once.

Who will dismantle those eye sores once the governmental cash cow stops flowing into the solar companies?
