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.

IMHO, the Corps of Engineers should be required to paint the windmills in a standardized color scheme that coordinates well with the festive atmosphere desired by summer vacationers on Cape Cod. That way, EVERYBODY's concerns will be addressed!

Ain't it purty???
