Was driving through West Texas at night during the holidays. Somewhere out there as far as the eye could see a sea of red lights was blinking off and on - felt like we were in the middle of a Star Trek area. Turns out there is a HUGE wind farm area. Very, very scary area. Shocks me how many things are going on in our state that we have no clue about.
You want scary? Check this out. There’s no way to stop these turbines if the wind is blowing and if they’re in trouble. If they break apart, the blades are propelled through the air at enormous speed. They’re supposed to be placed miles from civilization for that reason.
