- It''''s a good thing Texas no longer has Bush as governor otherwise there would just be more oil drilling and continued dependence on Oil men whoops the Arabs for oil.

You''re right. Why would Texas want to replace those beautiful drilling rigs and offshore oil platforms with those UGLY windmills. - Reply to this comment
- Windmills are UGLY, unless they are all of the same design, are regularly spaced and not too close together. The way California did its wind-farms is, from miles and miles away, INCREDIBLY UGLY!!!
Take heed Texas. Even alternative energy has its down sides. Wind''''s is UGLY, unless its done tastefully and with an eye to esthetics. Look to Europe: they impose regulations that each ''''eye-full'''' of wind farm should be composed of basically ONE design, regularly spaced, and not too close together.
When done that way, wind farms can display the ''''music of the spheres''''. Done the California way, they are more like urban blight in the country. No faster way to shut down enthusiasm for wind than to destroy everyones view.

California windmills are created not to please the eye but to provide energy to a very fiendish economy. It was extensively design to maxmimize the drag..and the logistics is to create a vortex..meaning as more wind picks up there is a disturbance in flow hence HELPING the rotation of the blades..EFFECIENCY outweighs asthetics. - Reply to this comment

what are you saying here..that if the wind blows you are easy and are not beyond begging for it.

- This is some good news here. Nothing to look at on this barren landscape anyhow,....except free fuel electricity generation in windy areas. I wouldn''t mind seeing these around in the least. I prefer these over nuclear power plants, though I''m not against them. It''s just that certain areas of our country should have pertinent electricity generators. Simple everyday common sense,...that''s free too, so use it.
