Comments on: Free Wind Power In Your Community? http://www.alternativeenergyfoundation.org/blog/2008/free-wind-power-community/ Tomorrows Energy Today Sat, 15 Aug 2009 04:52:01 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.1 By: Peter Blackman http://www.alternativeenergyfoundation.org/blog/2008/free-wind-power-community/comment-page-1/#comment-2017 Peter Blackman Fri, 13 Mar 2009 03:58:55 +0000 http://www.alternativeenergyfoundation.org/blog/?p=117#comment-2017 I think we would rather pollute our air with fumes from a power plant because after all once the smoke is dissipated you cannot see it and our view is preserved. We build houses that ruin our view but that is okay but put up something a little different and oh Lord! not in my back yard. There is new technology where the wind power device is vertical and per house. This might work. I am not a proponent of centralized power. If we built our houses differently you would not even see them and you could protect your view also. Everyones home would be part of the hillside and the heating and cooling requirements would be less and each house would use less power.

I am sitting here looking out my window in my hometown, tying to imagine windmills on the ridge overlooking the open space behind our house. Then, looking out to the brown haze on the horizon past the open space, I am wondering if, by making the horizon blue again, would the windmills be worth the immediate eyesore? My vote is yes.
