These damn windmills are a blight on our beautiful American landscape. Solar farms too.
Our corrupt governor here in Maine (Janet Mills, Demonrat Farmington) who is up for re-election this November has been subsidizing windmills and solar “farms” at the taxpayers’ expense and they are now all over the state, especially the solar farms. In a state where the number one industry is tourism.

Maine is the most heavily wooded state in the country and vast number of trees have been cut down to build these monstrosities. The tops of hills and mountains are clear cut to accommodate the so-called windmills.
Paul LePage served as governor from 2010-2014. Term-limited out, he is running for re-election this November. Can’t wait to vote for him.
His energy advisor has said that a windmill, when turning, produces 3 megawatts per hour. He also stated that a gas turbine produces 45 megawatts an hour.
Doesn't deforestation contribute to climate change? The climate zealots want it both ways.
Same in parts of CT and MA. Some beautiful scenery that was once farms, trees or pristine mountain tops now cleared and covered in solar panels or windmills.
So they cut down a bunch of carbon sinks (trees) to produce inefficient "clean" power?
Okee-dokee.
The biggest waste of land are the windmill or solar fields and graveyards.
