Re: WindmillsReply #4 on: May 2, 2022 at 9:42 amThanks, Russ. I actually like the look of the windmills. Certainly much better than a bunch of smoke belching stacks. Not saying they should put them in Big Bend, but there are huge areas of Texas that are just plain ugly, and the windmills don’t have then stench coming from the drilling operations that cover the area.
Re: WindmillsReply #5 on: May 2, 2022 at 3:03 pmWe’re never going to agree on the aesthetic value of windmills, Paul. But we might be able to agree on the unfortunate piles of dead birds they produce.

It’s not uncommon on I-20 through west Texas to encounter one being transported on the highway. Someday I’ll have time to google how the trucks carrying them turn, once they’re off the Interstate, to deliver the blades to their destination.
