Too true. FWIW, there was a lot of opposition to a wind farm in the
township just west of here, but it went ahead. Now I know why they call
them farms. In a period of about 6 months they put up more than 100 huge
turbines at a cost of about $6 million a pop. They sure do affect the
view. Then there is the power lines set up to ship the power to the
people who don't want them in their backyards.
