Sorry to interrupt the relentless drumbeat of bad economic news with a report of some progress on
wind energy. Seems folks in Michigan are looking very closely at huge wind farms on the Great Lakes...while 100,000 turbines seems doubtful, they are clearly thinking on a large scale.
Just put them far enough (1 mile?) from where humans live and/or congregate. I hear the sound these monsters make can make you mental.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how many wind turbines there are here in Oklahoma and North Texas. You can drive on I-20 for 30-40 miles and see nothing but the turbines in fields alongside the highway. Call it the T. Boone Pickens effect, I guess.
ReplyDeletedoc, it's not just the sound but from what I read, the strobe effect of the light passing through the blades. Did you know they have a few outside Atlantic City?
