Default RE: A plan to reduce our dependance on oil.

One problem with wind trubines........That problem is the same as those that don't support oil platforms off the coast of Florida. They don't want them in their "BACKYARD"

They are quiet, and don't look bad. Wouldn't bother me to have them in "my" backyard.

Senator Edward M. Kennedy, who would be able to see the wind farm on the horizon from his family's Hyannis compound, and former governor Mitt Romney maneuvered to kill the project on several occasions because of fears that the turbines would be unsightly, hurting tourism and property values.

Some of his figures are flawed, but wind turbines are up and coming. Saw 100's of them last year out west.
