"...400-foot tall windmills..."

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

They really are that big...and damn eerie to see.

GE offers a "standard" size of wind turbine with a rotor 341 feet in diameter. Total height of 400 feet doesn't sound like much of a stretch to me. They have been in operation at Arklow Bank Wind Park in Ireland for a couple years.

So what's your point? Because you find it difficult to build, it cannot be done?

I forgot to mention last night. Just for comparison purposes, 2,000 ft antennas, although not common, exist in many places in the US and some are over 30 years old. I used to live within sight of one.
