One was on the wind farms in West Texas. Apparently a lot of ranchers are leasing their land to the government for wind farms to supplement the $$ lost in the foundering cattle business. They also interviewed one rancher who was opposed to installing the wind machines saying that the ranchers who took advantage of the opportunity were not being considerate to their neighbors when they allowed the government to erect hundreds and hundreds of wind machines as far as they eye could see.” Did the news REALLY say that the ranchers are leasing their land to the GOVERNMENT for use as wind farms? Itwould be news to me that the government is in the wind farm business.
