Personally I’m a fan of landfills.

Eventually here in Indiana we’re gonna have some awesome skiing areas built on garbage!

Yes, that’s right.

But, beyond that environmental concern, I am just wondering, given the massive size and massive wind-motion-derived power of these devices, if there are other environmental consequences that have either not been considered, or are just not being reported.

Will the collective activity of huge farms of such machines have zero impact locally on anything??? I find that hard to believe.
