Here in Illinois, we put our wind turbines out in large flat open spaces where they don't disturb anybody but the corn and soybeans.

I thought the plan was just to put up some wind turbines. Are they putting in Starbucks and MickeyDs also?

"...400-foot tall windmills..."
Not buying. A 400 foot antenna is hard enough to build much less a windmill.

The Left eating its own... I'd like to see where Vermont gets free energy, without despoiling its lovely scenery.

Take a look at hullwind.org for some great info on wind turbines. The town I live in recently installed it's second turbine and is studying installing 3+ more about a mile offshore.

"Bryant said that's not enough of a benefit to warrant the unsightly presence of 26 towers dotting the surrounding mountaintops." Granted most of the VT energy is from nuclear and hydro, but this guy most likely bitches about gas prices and dependence on foreign oil.

The wind turbines are not any solution to environmentaly safe energy generation. The number of turbines needed to meet even a fraction of our electrical needs would necessitate building them in the millions. What effect millions of wind turbines might have on the environment is unknown, but could cause a shift in weather patterns not to mention chopping up birds, bats and other flying creatures.

"It's a reflection of the deep environmental consciousness of this state," said environmentalist Bill McKibben It's a reflection of the deep NIMBY consiousness of the state.
The trouble with electric generation, is that you lose a lot when you try to transmit electricity long distance. Putting all the wind generators in West Texas only takes care of electric needs in West Texas. So if the environmentalists of Vermont want electricty, they are going to need to figure out a way to generate it.
