Did you ever notice that when the green media does a story on wind power they never show a wide shot of the turbines required? Instead, they show two or three against a setting sun. Abilene, Tex., is being touted as the center of wind power in the U.S. and Popular Mechanics has done a story on their activities. While the story points out that there are more than 400 of the 263-foot windmills on 100 acre, the photo centers on two, with a few others way in the background.
Now, can you imagine what 421 of these monsters, all more than 250 feet tall, would look like? That’s one rotor per your average residential lot, or four per acre. Lefties, who go apoplectic every time a cell tower or a 6-story building is proposed, seem not to have a problem with acres and acres of bird-shredding, whirring rotors. I don’t get it.
