I am in Rosebush which is central/north isabella county. We have 168 windmills in 3 townships. Not counting the turbines in shepherd. With the 3 behind the house I could get nosy after hours. The wire is a 0 guage wire that I saw. runs underground. They generally try to wire 3 or 4 in a cluster then at a road side you see green plastic boxes that is a junction to fasten things together then move on to station. We have a sub station 1 mile away. DTE was in line to buy the power from the turbines since last spring. Then upon their inspection the substation wasnt wired to their specs and they were going to back out of the deal. Fagen said they would make the changes and all went forward as planned. There is still glitches. Currently there are a dozen or so not on line do to blowing the circut. It is hard to believe how fast they throw them things in the air. takes 72 concrete trucks to pour a base for one windmill. Mix has to be just so. They had a man here that inspected every load not sure how but he turned quite a few away. Fisher concrete in mt pleasant ran the whole plant to keep them going. Brought in a portable for the little general public asked for. Or brought it from other plants. No of few people got free concrete do to they had no where to unload at the time and be able to keep up. This isnt all you were looking for Ray but hope it helps. If you get them in your neighborhood, they are like phone poles when they were first installed. Old ones didnt want to see the blite. After a short while they didnt even notice if there where new ones up or not. Same with these. THey do make noise but not terrible. Would be more tollerable if there was free or discounted energy to land owners like when gas and oil came through in the 50s. Got couple uncles havent paid for heat in 70 yrs. Thermostat set on 75. If it gets to hot open doors and windows. No need to turn down the stat.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
