It all plays into the same argument against wind. My town (in NH) is being threatened by a wind plant that will stretch across 2 miles of ridgeline. We are talking about a power plant with a footprint of 70 acres that, at best, will produce the equivalent of 150,000 barrels of oil per year. The US consumes 20 billion barrels per day! There is simply not enough benefit from wind to justify this impact.

Oops - that 20 million barrels of oil per day. (Sorry:)

We just opened our first wind farm in Illinois. 63 wind mills covering 2600 acres.

First impression is one of surrealness. They're prettier than high-tension towers, but just as much an eyesore.

I found this website with some photos.

Here's a photo showing the size.
