I live in this town. I see Cliff Etheredge every now and then. I had never known he was the one that got all of this started though. Go Roscoe, Plowboys and Plowgirls!!!
I live in San Antonio, and see the trucks bound for the Wind Farm on the highway all the time. It takes one 18-wheeler to haul one (yes, one!) of those enormous replacement fan blades out to the Wind Farm. And of course other parts travel on other trucks. And conventional power sources are used to manufacture the parts for the turbines. Alternative energy is a great goal, but even in pursuit of that, we are still heavily dependent on oil, and will be for a long, long time.
@zrzavyorm right...you'd think there would be dead birds everywhere, if you listened to the anti-wind folks. If a bird manages to hit something THAT BIG moving THAT SLOWLY then maybe it's a little natural selection at work.
