Wind Power

[starrich55]

how what a nice touch to the song : )

great job!

[Minniver]

I've seen fields of these things, they look like strange, mechanical daisies.

[nancyleeould]

Oh they do don't they?!!  :-)

Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks Daniel for sending the video. Nancy, what a wonderful video.

[nancyleeould]

Thank you! Your comment is greatly appreciated!

Hugs & Blessings, Nancy

[AnneMarie96]

I think they are beautiful. We have some just down the road from us. Maybe some day we will have one in our field.

[nancyleeould]

Oh you are fortunate! I felt absolutely mesmerized watching them. So graceful.

Thanks AnneMarie! :-)

Hi Nancy, this is great.

In Palm Springs, Ca they have over 2000 of this things, more then enough for every house in that town plus enough to seel back to the DWP.

[nancyleeould]

That's fantastic!

Thanks so much for the great comment!

Hugs.  :-)

[battlebauble]

Up here in Traverse City, Michigan. The power company sold it's coal burning plant to Guatamala and added wind turbins to its grid. They are fascinating to watch.

[nancyleeould]

They most certainly are and great source of energy.

Thank you.

[EmCSpiteri]

Those darn things are an eye sore. They pop up here in all beautiful places even in bays around our shoes.

I  guess that we have to put up with them, we need electricity.

[nancyleeould]

Really? I think they are beautiful, quiet and a great source of power.

These are on a lake shore but back far enough so as not to block the view of the lake.

Thank you for your opinion.

[ajdpadbury]

I like those things! People have campaigned to try and stop them going up but, after they have people say they don't mind them at all and actually feel reassured by them!:)

[nancyleeould]

I don't see what they have against them Anthony. I think they are quite wonderful to watch.

Thanks and hugs.

[daligoddess2006]

I love renewable energy! I love these wind turbines! They ARE beautiful to look at.

[nancyleeould]

YAY!! I am so glad you agree as well dali!

They are just amazing and so graceful to watch.

Thanks and hugs.

[romapsychic]

thats a great idea sweet Nancy!wind power!

how about corn it's a saver too! methane gas!

harmles!5 stars! lol jimmy!

[nancyleeould]

LOL...That is so true Jim about the corn!

Guess I'm never going to get to try that Chillowack (sp) corn! Heehe.

Your comment is much appreciated.

Hugs.

[lazmalt]

Very useful :)

[nancyleeould]

That they are my friend.

I suppose they have them where you live.

I believe we must be one of the last countries to get in on harvesting the wind for power.

Hugs~Nancy

[southtube2]

Those things have ALWAYS facinated me Nancy! Especially as a kid!  :)

[nancyleeould]

The motion of them is so graceful...

I was really attracted to them...wished I could get right up beside one.

Thank you.

[sherrywine1941]

[oldcountrytunes]

We need to pursue all practical forms of alternative energy. The coal to liquid fuel, a technolgy developed by Adolph Hitler's Germany during WW2 seems to be the one that would free us, the USA, from the foreign oil producers's yoke. Wind is a very practical method that we can use immediately.

[nancyleeould]

Thank you for your thoughtful comment.

Very much appreciated.

Hugs.

[patchcords]

Great post Mom :)

It's about time the world starts using wind and solar to create electricity !

[nancyleeould]

Thanks Chris!

I don't know if you saw these on the way to Rondeau this past summer...miles and miles of wind farms. Amazing! They were beautiful.

Love ya. :-)

[nancyleeould]

Ah Chris..thank you so much for sharing!! :-)

[DsmB2007]

FAVED!! =)

[nancyleeould]

Appreciated!! :-)

[DsmB2007]

Fantastic Video Nancy..!!!

Thanks for showing us what CANADA is doing to help the world energy dilemma!! =)

Many Many stars..!!

daniel =)

[nancyleeould]

Wow!! Thank you so very much Daniel!! :-)

Hugs, Nancy

[yogaduke]

Very Cool send Daniel!! We have some Wind Farms in West Texas! I see them trucking parts down the highway from time to time! They are huge!! Great vid Nancy thanks!*****Duke

[DsmB2007]

We're fighting get them between Cape Cod and Martha's vineyard..some people complain that they'll be an eye sore..

to me..They're 10000 times better than Cell Towers, Billboards and many many other things..

=)

[yogaduke]

I am with you on that!! The funny thing is there were allot of them long ago on the Cape. There is still a old one in Yarmouthport. The thing remember about the Cape is how much wind there is. It would drive you a little nuts at times. My old house was 300 yards from the Bay it would blow one way in the morning and the other in the afternoon but not as bad in the summer. Oh well you just can't please everyone!! Have a good one! Duke

[nancyleeould]

Daniel...thank you so very much for sharing this video!

Big hugs~Nancy :-)

[nancyleeould]

Yes, the video doesn't really show how large these turbines are..but they are so impressive.

Thank you for watching and commenting.

Hugs~Nancy

[nancyleeould]

Yes, I have heard of having smaller scale personal ones for your own home. I think you're going to be seeing more and more wind produced energy.

Hugs.

[AeganMontgomery]

They remind me, just a little bit, of Holland

[nancyleeould]

Yes, yes they do. I think they're quite beautiful.

Thank you and hugs, Nancy

[twish1999]

We have a bunch of those things here in Liverpool and all over Great Britain Nancy, i think they are rather elegant :-)

x hugs x

[nancyleeould]

So do I Trish! And a great way to harvest energy. I know they are more recently coming to Canada but I found them to be just amazing.

Hugs

[Illuminatta]

THIS is where we should put our money for alternative energy!! AND they are lovely to look at.

[nancyleeould]

Toni those are my thoughts exactly! :-)

Hugs

[Maiyanna]

People complain how they look, but they are better looking than telephone poles? I say more wind power.

Great video Nancy! :)

[nancyleeould]

Hi Maryann! Personally I think they look beautiful and powerful...they are SO high up!

I wouldn't mind at all looking out my window and seeing one in the distance.

Hugs

[ladypn]

I don't know why there are so many people who reject the concept of harnessing wind power because of "asthetics". It seems so foolish!

[nancyleeould]

I know what you mean Pam and I have heard them! I'm all for them and they look beautiful!

Thanks for watching and commenting.

Hugs

[johnnyould]

Nancy, what a beautiful and relaxing video you have done. They are somewhat hypnotic and the music you have chosen to use makes this a very calming view.

Just my thoughts ...from HubbyWiz, relaxing down under.

[nancyleeould]

Always good to hear your thoughts John! :-)

I really enjoyed watching them and also seeing the ship upbound carrying parts.

Hugs from the lady upstairs.

[LindaYou2]

That's the way to go! Who needs the Middle East to supply us with our energy needs.

We've got plenty of sun and wind!

Nancy, this was a beautiful and timely video.

Thank you! ~ and thanks for the peaceful respite. Those wind turbines are so graceful!

Love 2 U

From Linda Lou

[nancyleeould]

Aren't they beautiful Linda! I found them to be just breathtaking. And what a great way to supply us with our energy. Cleaner air, more efficient, such a great idea.

I'm glad you enjoyed seeing them here.

Love to you too!

Nancy Lee. :-)

[joeabro1]

great video awesome footage.

[nancyleeould]

Hey my YouTube bro! How's it going? So glad you enjoyed.

Hugs. :-)

[JeepGirl2]

It's really cool that you saw them being brought in and built. We have some of those here in TX but not near me. I bet the person that owns that land is going to make a lot of money from leasing the land to the energy folks who put them up.

They look peaceful. Are they quiet? Or do they make a slight noise?

[nancyleeould]

Hi Joyce. I was two blocks away from my house, down at the river, filming a fountain, when the overseas ship passed by carrying the parts! So I took it and added to what I already had on the wind turbines. I stood very close to them and there was no noise at all. They were so beautiful against the blue sky.

Thanks and hugs.

[DorothyDandrich]

Thanks this is pleasant news

[nancyleeould]

Yes I think it is very exciting! :-)

Thanks and hugs.

[BasicModelling]

People in the UK moan and complain about the windmills.. Being from Scandinavia I'm quite used to them, if you travel through Denmark there's always at least one in view at all times.. I don't mind, it's clean energy and more harmless than the alternatives.. This was a very interesting video to say the least, and beautiful too. If anything I think the mills add to the landcape, something you can't accuse a grey nuclear power bunker or smoking coal-fuel chimneystacks of doing, exactly.. :)

[nancyleeould]

Exactly my way of thinking! They are absolutely beautiful and I didn't hear any noise coming from them at all...I could have watched them for hours, as I found them very relaxing to watch.

Hugs. :-)

[BasicModelling]

Here they have some issue if Eagles being killed by flying into the blades, but I find the unlikely, as they aren't exactly going round as fast as the props on a plane, and the birds surely can avoid them. As for the noise, I have never heard any either, and even if there would be a gentle swishing noise, it'd be no worse than the wind blowing through the branches of a tree.. :) I'm all for the use of windpower... :)

[nancyleeould]

Yes, something similar to that happened here only with the bats. They are saying something about the oxygen being sucked out of their lungs..but I feel it has more to do with how they maneuver and fly at night. They are looking into it anyway, as we need the bats to eat the mosquitoes.

I heard no noise from the blades and no vibration on the ground, which some have claimed they cause.

[spellermouse]

They are so graceful. And I do believe the right way to go to help produce environmentally friendly sources of energy and reduce global warming. More power to the wind turbines!!! Great video NancyLee!!!

[nancyleeould]

Hi Speller! I loved seeing them...they were so graceful and relaxing. You can't say that about a nuclear power plant or smoke stacks.

I'm so glad you enjoyed this one!

Hugs. :-)

[ladybard1968]

People complain about wind turbines that they are an eye sore. There are wind turbines out of my kitchen window in the distance. I'd rather have that than a nuclear plant on my doorstep.

[nancyleeould]

Oh Amanada..I thought they were beautiful! Very peaceful to watch and like you say I would rather look at that out my window than a nuclear power plant.

Big hugs!

[GreatGig1]

We have LOTS of those around here! The thing that gets me, is I hear we don't get the energy they produce...they send it elsewhere!

[nancyleeould]

Hi Caylyn, That figures about them sending it elsewhere but these are for the homes directly in that area. I know they sent our energy we get from Niagara to the states and elsewhere.

I just think it is so much cleaner, safer, and they are so beautiful to watch.

Thanks so much,

Hugs.

[thizizliz]

By the way, I loved the music with the pictures. Great choice!

[nancyleeould]

Thanks again! :-)

[IreneK43]

I think wind power is a great idear :o) I seen a bunch of them wind mill's driving across country.

Hugs, Irene

[nancyleeould]

Hello Irene..I think they are beautiful, clean and great in the long run for the air quality.

Thank you hugs.

[thizizliz]

Wow Nancy! That was neat. It is so green there. Sometimes I miss that. Funny story - my sister is a 'pilot' driver = she drives the small truck behind or in front of the big load truck. This summer she helped get a LOT of windmill parts up to the desert north west of Los Angeles. We were so glad to see an alternative energy source and they put up hundreds. Outside Palm Springs there are windmill farms that go on for miles. It's interesting.

[nancyleeould]

Thanks Liz! I found them to be so beautiful and relaxing to watch..and yes they do go on for miles and miles..I really wanted to see inside the little building below which housed the computer for running them. They are starting to pop up all over up here and I think they're fantastic!!

Hugs
