Comments on: Texas Approves Massive Wind Power Project

New Transmission Lines Will Bring Power From Windy West Texas To Urban Areas

THIS IS AN ALL-AROUND POSITIVE MOVE; HOWEVER, IT IS VERY PAINFUL FOR THE PUBLIC TO HAVE TO PAY THOUSANDS MORE IN DAILY EXPENSES (DUE TO THE HIGH PRICE OF OIL)TO FUND THESE PROJECTS.

This is so awesome,
I have seen these massive turbines and blades going down the highway for years,
and theres an impressive array of them around Ozona.
Glad Texas is doing something about the future needs of Power consumption,
Especially after a few years when most vewhicles will require a good jold overnight.

We used to have 2 windmills in our fine city, but for some strange reason, they vanished. I guess they could''nt a get a big enough subsidy.

Don''t forget who''s behind this push, a former BIG OIL man, looking for that BIG GOVERNMENT handout.

AMERICA WINS WITH WINDMILLS

[bdrlnt4rl]

that is 3k a year per windmill......30 windmills.....do the math.

[bdrlnt4rl]

Well, the windmill farm companies pay big giant bucks to put the windmills on someones property. I happen to have a friend who the windmills approached him and want to put 30 windmills on his property and pay him 3k a year. you do the math and tell me that wrong. who wins. the land owner, the community, the environment, basically, AMERICA! wake up people.

Now I suppose these radical ENVIROMENTAL FREAKS, will be opposed against that too! These sickos are already costing us plenty with the high gas prices. Thanks freaks!!!!!! Posted by fervan at 08:04 PM : Jul 17, 2008

Yeah Fervan, Maybe you should leave the US and live in that polluted cess pool, Russia. Where they have never had any enviromental laws. Acid rain, uncontained nuclear waste, no exhaust restrictions. Then tell me we have made it worse for you.

Give the devil his due .. it ain''t just the environmentalists ... Sen Kennedy helped put a stop to windmills in his back yard, just like the people that move into "wilderness" areas then try to block "development" of the area .. now that they have their spot.
Not in my backyard is the reason for most worthwhile projects like this from going forward.
And as far as environmental effects (ie birdkill) vertical axis windmills may not be as efficient as the standard kind but you can fit more in the same area.

man some people cry alternative fuel, you give a solution that works, they cry about that. people cry gas cost too much we need to be independent from the middle east, a solution is present to bring back jobs and money to the states and they cry about that. grow up idiots and keep america busisness in america and the windmills up.

i live in the middle of windmill country and it has brought an old dying town back to life with more money going thru our town than one can ever imagine, jobs and money are rolling thru this old town! not to mention money rebuilding new state of the art schools!

windmills all the way!

Need wind power? The world''s largest deposit of hot air is at the intersection of Pennsylvania Avenue and Inependence Avenue in Washington, also known as Capitol Hill, home to the US Congress. If we could harness THAT, we could kiss the oil barons good-bye!
