Windmills of My Mind

Windmills of My Mind
Western Kansas and Parts of Eastern Colorado are home to a good many power generating windmills. These massive giants standing out in otherwise empty fields are always a welcome sight, a signal that we can do things better than we have previously.

(These were shot from the backseat of a vehicle moving at 75mph with a DSLR camera, so they are not the greatest lol.)

 There are many wind turbines scattered around the country-side here. 10 years ago; I don't think there were any?

The technology is relatively new, a lot of years went into developing these things. I don't think they are ideal, but I think they are a million times better than coal and nuclear energy. I think Solar is going to be the future. They do make great supplemental sources however. The birds will adapt to them far better than they will a Nuclear meltdown or another oil spill.

 I think the windmills are a great idea and the one downtown by the Amtrak station does not make noise. When I was in UK there was an array of close to 1000 in a field. I'll hunt for a pic. Love yours

I can't wait to see the photo. The ones we were near didn't make much noise at all, we were less than 500 yards from one. God but they make you feel tiny.

 Southern Alberta has fields and fields of those giant wind turbines..We are known for our westerly winds.
When we traveled through Germany years ago, there were fields of the same turbines.
I wish I could post some pics of them here!

I wish you could too, I would love to see it.

 they make horrible noise and kill thousands of birds including our bald eagle


wildnwanton replies on 9/28/2017 2:15 pm:
Hmm, the ones we were under barely made any noise at all. As for the birds, I dare say the body count on them will be far less than the body count created by nuclear waste and oil spills.

 Nice shots!!

I've never understood why people complain about the installation of "ugly" wind turbines. I find them quite pretty and fascinating.

Here is a shot I took one night of the ones along I-70 a bit west of Salina. [iimage]

I love seeing them. I tried to get a shot of the lights on one that was covered in fog, it was so eerie looking. Alas, I was not successful lol.
