Nothing like windmills to destroy the beautiful vistas of America. Enjoy your beautiful American scenery before it's gone.
The hills are too steep for conventional combines, so a "leveling combine" was invented to improve production on these hills.

Cheap, climate-friendly electricity drives Washington's economy, the nation's fastest growing, according to the U.S. News' Best States ranking of economic growth. The tech-heavy state's expectedly strong broadband network sits atop one of the nation's best electrical systems, one well-positioned as the country shifts away from coal- and natural gas-generated electricity. The state expects to be coal-free by 2025, while still charging rates among the nation's lowest.
Aging hydroelectric dams provide most of the electricity Washington uses or exports, but windmills and solar arrays are increasingly common sights on the arid rolling hills east of the Cascade Mountains. Gov.

I wonder how much electricity those windmills actually provide. And how many birds must die to produce that electricity.
Yes, it’s amazing how Washington and other blue states get these high ratings went to a large segment of their populations are seeking to move to red states.
The question is “ what is the meaning of “is” is.
I always heard it’s CA, except for their idiotic government.
East of the Cascade crest, MAYBE
But the better option is the Idaho Panhandle and escape ALL of the insanity that trickles out of Olympia
I do like a rainy day. Get to stay inside and read a good book.
Alternative energy is their showcase?

If you like rain, Oregon is good.
Weird, they must have forgotten the friendly 2nd amendment situation there.
LOL! I'm sure Amazon, Microsoft, Expedia, Zillow, Starbucks and Boeing have nothing to do with that growth.
If only it “trickled” out of Olympia. It’s a torrent, a veritable gusher, a flash flood.
No State Income Tax.
What's wrong with this picture?
Unfortunately, Avista serves a good chunk of the Panhandle and they announced their commitment to 100% renewable energy a few weeks ago. Hold onto your wallet!
Ping.
That is what the Pacific Northwest brings in mind.
Is Seattle cloudy a lot?
It’s the only place I’ve ever lived
where the weather forecast includes
“sun breaks.”
Who knew?
I’d slit my wrists before I’d live there.
