Sustainable power and a long-term subsidy to the folks owning the land? What's not to like?

Randy Wheeler

Any thing to lessen reliance on coal and gas is a good thing.

They can charge Columbia's E-scooters with them.

They are giant, noisy, bird murdering machines.

I have had 59 wind turbines built right across from our beautiful farm in Iowa. It was horrible. Causes migraines and cows just up and died with no explanation. Just think what it does to humans.

It is the leading story on most of major news sites. It was all a made up game with a predetermined conclusion. How many dems/republicans are laughing and patting themselves on the back this morning telling each other 'Same time next year?'
