You all beat up on YooperDave but he is right. Liberals are all for windmills and solar panels but they really don't like them near them. Here is my case and it's all over America. In liberal east side of Milwaukee , where my sister lives and was a liberal . She is for windmills , and when a proposal for windmills along Lake Michigan came up , they all went to the town board and screamed. They made it very clear they did not want them there, despite along Lake Michigan is a very good place to put them. They are all for putting 300 windmills out in the country, and they got their way even though the conservatives that live there did not want them. They demand they be there. A solar farm is also going up near me. It's in Lomira Wisconsin. The locals did't want them and the yard signs made it clear. Oh, to be clear though, a bunch did go up along Lake Michigan, in Upper Michigan, in the Garden Peninsula , again where most are conservative and locals likely didn't want them there neither. It would have been great to put up windmills near the city. A fraction of the lines would be needed and very little lost electricity from less distance. Lots of roofs in the city,,, nope , not many there neither. As for one guy telling me the fishing would be better is what us Germans in Wisconsin would say , " you are full of hops ".. Dams are very good for fish, and the presumption there would me more fish if it were not for coal burning plants " belching" black smoke is foolish . We have very few coal plants now and fishing is no better, no worse. So quit talking so foolish about pollution . My daughter lived in Taiwan for 3 yrs. On days when the wind came from China she showed me a pic of a 110 story building and you could hardly see it fro a block away and could not see it at all higher than 4 stories. All this " America pollutes more is BS. As for windmill blades , I think they should chop them up and put them under the concrete for stronger roads. If it works, they would suddenly be worth money.
