No flames from me.

Here in Michigan, Consumers energy wants a 60,000 acre wind farm with between 40 and 70 windmills of 4 and 5 hundred feet tall. Something like that will be visible over an area of hundreds of square miles.

I’ll nake a nice compact coal plant sitting behind a grove of trees on a couple hundred acres any day.

500 feet tall? That's huge. What's the diameter of the propellers? I would imagine those would make quite a racket.
