We’re fighting windmills in my county.

Unbelievable how they tear communities apart.

I've no experience with wind power, other than seeing the wind farms spread across the landscape in Teexas, Oklahoma and Kansas. <

My sister, however, a confirmed liberal, has argued in favor of wind (and solar) power, so that we can do away with that nasty coal, petroleum and nuclear power. She is, of course, totally unfamiliar with the economics and feasibility of her chosen direction.

Well, now, a windfarm has been proposed for her county. Within her view. And her hearing, no less. Suudenly, her favorite energy sources have become ugly, noisy and intrusive. She has joined a group of citizens (all liberals, apparently) who are campaigning vehemently against licensing the windfarm.

Greeny. But NIMBY.
