Bret "Your take" on wind farms is more than a little one-sided. Living in the footprint of a proposed windfarm, I and a number of neighbors have done considerable research on the downside of windfalls that promoters never mention. Not the least of these downside issues is the low frequency, or infrasound that you mention. NASA has done much research regarding infrasound, and while,like you, some people are relatively unaffected by it, many people are profoundly affected by it. Another major issue is property values. While farm land values are apparently not greatly affected, residential property values often take a huge hit. The wind farm companies usually do nothing to protect property owners from devaluation. If wind energy was a proven technology, I would very likely look more favorably on it. Unfortunately, as of now, it is not proven technology, and it is not even close to being cost effective. So I suppose I will have to be one of the idiots that those of you who live in a perfect world should just ignore. That's precisely what our county zoning board did. We don't live in a perfect world here. We live in an area proposed to receive 130+ of these 450 ft tall monstosities, which are of very questionable value. If that makes me an idiot, so be it.

Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
