The Wild Horse Windmill Farm in Kittitas County, WA

http://www.pse.com/energyEnvironment/energysupply/pages/EnergySupply_Electric...

The Wild Horse Wind Farm provides approximately 230 megawatts (MW) of affordable, pollution-free electricity to the Northwest, which is equal to the annual energy requirements of 69,000 homes. In addition to power generation, the Project has brought new jobs and approximately $1M annually in local property tax revenues to Kittitas County. Horizon Wind Energy installed approximately 127 wind turbines over 8,600 acres of open range. The turbines, underground power lines, roads, and substation blend well with other land uses, and the wind farm itself takes up only about 165 acres.

Wild Horse Wind Farm was sold to Puget Sound Energy.

@Themyarhills - Puget Sound Energy's wind projects produce up to 430 megawatts of electricity at full capacity, enough to meet the power demands of approximately 130,000 homes, making them the second-largest generator of wind power in the U.S.

@Themyarhills - Wild land? This is in eastern WA. It's like desert out there. There is not much wildlife out there but even so, they are allowed to roam free in this area. The windmills are nearly silent and make no pollution of any kind.

Horendous.More rape of wild land by greedy energy companies.
