Wind Power
I saw the most ironic scene while riding Saturday. Somebody had a NO WIND TURBINES sign in their front yard and one of those little 6' windmills in the flowers behind it...
Apparently there is a big fight in Western NY over the big wind farms that are on the way. Billionaire politician Thomas Galisano is funding the antis. As long as they don't locate the turbines too close to residences, I can't see the complaint. Farmers can rent/sell their unproductive ridgeline property to power generators and maybe fewer Marines get killed in some awful desert somewhere. antis http://saveupstateny.com/ I'm still considering doing a turbine here. I have a spot with seemingly constant wind that probably should be assessed.

Well, I suppose that on a still day, griff could just increase his bean intake and fart in the general direction of the windmill ...
