Interesting concept. Out west - southwest of Houston, out in the sprawling farmland is a Children's Home which was given a large wind-turbine many years ago. It's long since fallen into disrepair and no longer actually generates power. It hasn't in years. But it's still turning.
My brother wanted to buy it - but talks with the facilities' administrators never resolved a plan or price. He took me out there to see it on a very windy day last fall. It's three huge 45 foot long blades swung ominously through the air with the sound of a tennis pros racket at its fastest possible delivery. It's downright scary to think of what could happen when wind turbines go bad! http://youtube.com/watch?v=jOO7YdrFXkM&feature=related Oh, the humanity.... -WaV On Mon, Jun 23, 2008 at 11:04 AM, Louise Power <power_lou...@hotmail.com> wrote: point was that he thought this is a fad industry which would fall by the > wayside and, when wind power was no longer useful, there would be all those > machines cluttering up the view.
