It was like something out of the X-Files. Very cool. Although here in MA they are battling over putting them out in the ocean off the Cape - and although I support it, I can see why some people wouldn't want their ocean view suddenly changed with one of these out their window.

Another thought I have is why cant they put them on top of the big buildings to get power to the buildings in the city. I wonder if they can still use all that land to raise cows or crops still.

We pass them whenever we drive from Tucson to San Diego and I can never figure out (a) how they work and (b) why they're not turning! Now at least I have part of the mystery solved!

I'm hoping that Ohio will be investing in this soon. Thanks for sharing your description and thoughts. I hope that you are having a wonderful time with your daughter. I’m all for the wind farms!

I got a book yesterday that you might be interested in - The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind. I know some people who work in GE’s wind division, so I know about the controversy.
