I am a photographer. In the last 10 years, once pristine wide open spaces have been ruined by acres of these eye sores.

In my state (WA), wheat farmers have had land taken by eminent domain for these sites.

And the energy output is not what was anticipated so more wind farms are planned.

I think the best example of loony Leftist energy policy is that of the State of Vermont:

"...Meet 25% of the remaining energy need from renewable sources by 2025, 40% by 2035, and 90% by 2050. Three end-use sector goals for 2025: 10% renewable transportation, 30% renewable buildings, and 67% renewable electric power..."

I stayed at a farm up there, and the woman who ran it had a good sized bank of solar panels. I was curious, because an option to be self sufficient with power storage is very appealing to me, but when I asked she said no, they were just to sell power back to the grid and wouldn't be of use to her in a power outage.

But she took the opportunity to tell me all about the state energy policy, and with a grin (she was a pretty conservative woman) she said: "They're going crazy up here-with these stupid unattainable goals and they have already bungled things bad enough now that they have to purchase power from Canada. (she laughs) Canada! A portion of the power they get is from Nuclear power...so they have to support the Nuclear industry with their money, so some of them are going completely berserk!"

California’s Altamont Pass and the entire Diablo Range inland from the Coastal Range WAS some of the prettiest country you could imagine. Spectacular long rolling hills / low mountains as green as Ireland in the springtime and covered with gorgeous golden waves of grasses in the summer. All long gone...TOTALLY RUINED by windmills.
