Where its flat and you can see for like 8 miles, you see all these wind turbines stretching to the distance...<br /><br />pretty cool.cbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07012048318668422826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185139.post-49997220165615562892010-05-04T17:41:16.694-04:002010-05-04T17:41:16.694-04:00Are you talking about wind turbines or are you rea...Are you talking about wind turbines or are you really talking about hair?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185139.post-53533549430633728152010-05-04T09:14:59.061-04:002010-05-04T09:14:59.061-04:00I've driven by them in the East Bay on the way...I've driven by them in the East Bay on the way to Mary's house (Tommy's sister, not the Mother of our L-rd. Everyone knows she lives in East L.A.) and have never really heard any noise from them. All I hear is the rushing wind which turns these huge things. I guess they do have a habit of getting all Cuisinart-y on birds though.Jonnynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185139.post-90130992274157267822010-05-04T07:23:26.036-04:002010-05-04T07:23:26.036-04:00ANything that moves you to talk about is worth pos...ANything that moves you to talk about is worth posting about. You presented these in a way I have never considered before and I doubt I will ever look at them the sameway again. We have an art piece on the plaza that is inspired by a wind turbine...I'll try to get a pic of it if it's still there and send it your way.Breenlanternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17317914861018120156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185139.post-23243898212800604952010-05-04T05:56:07.010-04:002010-05-04T05:56:07.010-04:00I've seen wind farms in Montana and northern I...I've seen wind farms in Montana and northern Indiana. I've driven by trucks carting parts. (Do you have any idea how BIG those things are? One propeller blade is carried on TWO semi-truck flatbeds; that means it's about 100 feet long.) I'm not a fan of the aesthetics, but only because I like wide open spaces without evidence of mankind. I like the idea of low-impact energy.<br /><br />I have read that there is a problem developing related to the vibrations the turbines cause in the ground, and that it is having adverse effects on human and animal health within a mile radius. I wonder what it would do to the marine life of Lake Erie.Birdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12852713057094279347noreply@blogger.com
