The co-op that provides electricity to the rural area I live in gets 27% and more of its power fron the wind farms in west Texas, and is increasing that number each year-and I think that is fine, because that area of west Texas is basically a desert, not productive farm or ranch land, there aren’t a lot of people there-I’ve been there hiking and hunting, and it is windy (and sunny) pretty much all of the time-plenty of room for productive wind farms, and solar panel stations, too.
It isn’t botanical gardens or a resort area-it is a desert, and I’m guessing most of the critters there aren’t bothered by the power generating equipment.
I don’t think wind farms, nuclear plants, solar or other power-producing operations belong in areas where they are not able to operate efficiently and safely-keep it out of the areas where people live as much as possible-all the fences and danger signs won’t keep out the ignorant and curious...
Couldn't agree more.
