Funny now how wind power is now *hated* by environmentalists because it kills a few birds. Wind power is a big issue here right now. I think most of the "real" Vermonters (as in born and bred here) don't have a problem with 'em, especially if they'd make electricity cheaper. But the imports say it'd ruin their skyyyyyline. *whine*
These are the same people that are making it all but impossible to build any kind of structure here. Cell phone towers? Eeeeevil! Noooo!
Not that I'm bitter or anything.
NH is only twenty minutes away from where I live now. Some days it looks really good to me, let me tell ya.

We couldn't decide if we thought the windmills were scenic or not.
They were *spooky,* though, out there in the middle of nowhere, especially on that grey snowy day. With the limited visibility, they just suddenly loomed in front of you, 350 feet tall, with huge blades turning almost silently.
We were actually thrilled at the sight, and drove back the 20 miles next day to see 'em again. It was even colder that day, about 0 degrees. Close to 3 feet of snow on the ground in the area, some roads not plowed or accessable.
