Frost line around here is waaay deeper than that .. you're asking for trouble setting fence posts shallower than 32" !
(but if you meant dismantling their junk/footers down to 16", then nevermind)

What about the moonbats?
Great; these things will lose even MORE money when they break???
Holland also gave us MJ shops, legit red light districts and Pilgrims.
Well maybe you need a little more convincing that these things are often abandoned after the tax payer gets fleeced? Check this out.
Wind Energy’s Ghosts
By Andrew Walden
Bankrupt Europe has a lesson for Congress about wind power.
Wiwo...wiwo...wiwo.
The sound floats on the winds of Ka Le, this southernmost tip of Hawaii’s Big Island, where Polynesian colonists first landed some 1,500 years ago.
Some say that Ka Le is haunted — and it is. But it’s haunted not by Hawaii’s legendary night marchers. The mysterious sounds are “Na leo o Kamaoa”— the disembodied voices of 37 skeletal wind turbines abandoned to rust on the hundred-acre site of the former Kamaoa Wind Farm.
The voices of Kamaoa cry out their warning as a new batch of colonists, having looted the taxpayers of Spain, Portugal, and Greece, seeks to expand upon their multi-billion-dollar foothold half a world away on the shores of the distant Potomac River. European wind developers are fleeing the EU’s expiring wind subsidies, shuttering factories, laying off workers, and leaving billions of Euros of sovereign debt and a continent-wide financial crisis in their wake. But their game is not over. Already they are tapping a new vein of lucre from the taxpayers and ratepayers of the United States.

I have a hard time believing that “bats and migratory birds” are killed by wind turbines. But whatever...
I’ve actually built my own mini-wind turbine that I plan to use at my cabin next summer. It’s powerful enough to keep a couple of deep-cycle batteries charged to help power the camp, and a nice supplement for my solar panels. Having said that (TM)...
Although I advocate wind and solar as a feasible means for self-sufficiency, the government has no frickin’ business subsidizing the industry. Companies either survive in the marketplace, or they fail. Period. If you support the technology, invest your own damn money.
NO matter the size, I used the Farm near Indio, California as a model that maintenance would eventually cost more than the overall power they produced.
Send them to the 3rd world—they might help some poor starving country or island nation that needs power. We have natural gas, coal and oil.
“Denmark, the world’s most wind-intensive nation, with more than 6,000 turbines generating 19% of its electricity, has yet to close a single fossil-fuel plant.”
Note the difference as Obama destroys coal.
Is that Pelosi, Rangel, Reid, BlabberMouse, Bwanny or someone else?
Dyke plugging.
That’s funny, but here on the border it is not the Mexicans it is the meth addicts that steal the copper. Well exceptions to that are meth addicted Mexicans of course.
Please, post some more information on this.
