What’s going to happen when all those wind turbines wear out and dot the landscape with their aging carcasses? I’m not against alternative power, the technology isn’t quite there yet.
Mining companies have to post huge bonds to get permits to open surface mines. That bond assures the land will be reclaimed when they are done mining or go out of business.
There are no such bonds for windmills to my knowledge. When they fail, they’ll just be left there to ruin the landscape for 1,000 years. Kind of like a very ugly Stonehenge.
