I’d say Let Them Use Candles, but that would increase their carbon footprint.
It would probably last a lot longer if they did that - wouldn't have all that wind blowing on it and putting a strain on the moving parts.
Hypocrisy, thy name is liberal.
I’ll bet they all live in the area and it’s a not in my backyard thing - like Ted Kennedy.
They want the homeowner to put the wind turbine below the roof line.
Duh, um, um.... don’t the Liberals claim to be smarter than everybody else?
NIMBY.
And in the Desert the Libs oppose solar energy.
Solar Shutdown: Feinstein to Block Energy Projects

I live in another state and in a County that is by far mostly Republican, and they have the same zoning restriction (wind turbines no higher than other building limits). ...not to mention all of the other anti-family, anti-American, NIMBY, anti-competition, anti-property-rights efforts of both political parties in nearly every locale. Neither political party is worth my vote or support—especially the part about support.
Let’s cut our personal spending and become more self-sufficient, until we can get better business (favored, politically correct constituents), political and academic leadership.
It reminds me of the family that had their own natural gas on their property. The government figured out a reason to forbid them from using it. Does this mean that government wants to keep private energy production out of the hands of the individual? Is government more concerned about lost tax revenue than the individual’s ability to be independent from the grid?
Viewshed? Is that some sort of observation tower???
The asinine, illogical words those people use... If she is worried about the view in Santa Clause county, how about all the unwashed, filthy dopers that hang out at UC Santa Cruz???
An alternative energy devices hobby coupled with a monstrosity of a house. How exasperating!
One for the “Leftists vs Leftists” collection.
The architect needs to hire an engineer.
The lowered turbine can be turned by wind directed through an esthetically designed plenum that is visibly pleasing.
