On Wind farm plans worry neighbors

I will check out betterplan.squarespace.com before making any serious comments but from the comments I have read it appears alternative sources of energy may be counter intuitive if the environment is the issue.

I will however express concern about the solar cell comment.

Yes they are expensive but they are also a long term solution. And, we in Wisconsin enjoy the sun, albeit sometimes @ 20 degrees below zero, frequent enough to justify solar.

But another consideration must be the cost of operation.

The cost of operating a wind farm is becoming competitive, the only REAL problem is reliability. This is the reason for studies and careful placement.

I do find it intriguing that people who appear to be environmentally concious would offer up alternatives that seem to not be as eco-friendly.
