The east will always have plenty of wind. Generated by loud mouth politicians.

The author hates wind energy and goes on an inuendo-filled rant - nothing new.

I've seen that video before.....

There's documented stories of people having physical problems with the noise they make.

Besides, they kill birds.

Recent studies have shown that predators are lolling about the bases of these turbines, just waiting for their next meal to fall from the skies.

Their children are no longer being taught to hunt on their own and are laying about in groups, sassing one another. They are fat and arrogant; becoming real pests in their own right.

Government will HAVE to step in to do something about this radical change in the evolutionary process!

Will the East coast not have any more wind?

It'll still have plenty of hot air, wafting up from D.C.

Who cares HOW they die!?

It’s merely EVOLUTION at work; so leave it alone!

Merely from an aesthetic point of view, I find them no more disturbing than silos, homes or barns.

Silos and barns are stationary.

I just drove through a pretty large wind farm along I-65 in Indiana. The windmills put movement where it does not normally occur in one's field of view. Random, unsynchronized movement, but weirdly rhythmic movement.

It was pretty distracting to me as a driver, as your attention is naturally drawn to it.

Thanks. You have managed to send a video with/about two of my least favorite, worthless people.
Keep up the bad work !

Youre picture brings a good point to mind...

What public hearings were done on the set up and installation of those? If I were to start building a housing tract on a plot of land that I owned, there would be public hearings, community involvement, viability studies and the like.

Were any of those barriers faced when building these things, or is this just 'for the public good' so no meetings need to be scheduled?

They seems to be popping up all over the place here in New Hampshire, with no notification that they are going up. I think it makes the rolling hills and mountains up here lose their aesthetic value, and the windmills themselves look like shit.
