Some farmers here just get a check every year to put wind turbines on their land, so I see it is a win-win if the owner of the turbine is making money.

The people who annoy me the most are those who complain that wind turbines are "ugly." I mean its fine if you wanna argue whether or not wind energy is that efficient and cost-effective, but "ugly"? What are you, a Democrat?

I think Wind Turbines look cool personally.

Wasn't Kennedy the one who refused to allow wind turbines be built by his house because he thought they were ugly?

 

I think they look cool also.

I'm not sure, I was just referring to some people in my state (Texas) who say that.  I remember one farmer in this article who said he was outraged that his father put them on their farm.  YOU GET FREE MONEY FOR NOT DOING SHIT!  How is that a bad thing?  I could put up with something I thought was ugly on my lawn if I was getting $10,000+ a year per item on my lawn.

 

I believe there is a famous sign during the great depression that reads  "I don't want a handout.  I just want to work."

Some people hate free money.  Some people just want to work... and believe people should only get paid for what they do... etc.

Weird philosphy.  But some people have principils like that.  I mean he could just... give it away.

Or he may of just been against Wind Turbine energy due to it's cost.
