Adding to your post - every one of these turbines is connected by underground cabling and gravel roads. Quite a ‘footprint’ when viewed from above (Google Earth).

It absolutely blows my mind to think of all the copper cabling, carbon fiber blades, lighted towers, and quarried rock that goes into such a small energy source...and anyone would call it ‘green’.

And they won’t last 20 years. I’ve seen broken turbines left to rot already - early test cases put up in Kansas. Very few machines can be left out in the weather for too long, without something going wrong.

They are building them on the Osage.....

Nobody can stop them..when the Fed's are funding them.

This is what they look like in populated areas like Indiana. 500' tall spinning monuments to Gaia a mere 1200 feet from your doorstep

Would be nice to live long enough to see how future generations re-purpose the parts from these windmills once society decays beyond the ability to maintain them.

I wouldn’t be sad if copper thieves kept targeting these turbines.
