Thank you, Ron and Friends of Ragged Mountain, for the lovely pictures.
ReplyDeleteAs summer residents of Danforth, we have a full ridgetop sunset view of the Stetson turbines. I have a developed a "rule of thumb" about viewing large industrial wind turbines from a distance:
Hold your thumb horizontally at arms length and look at the thing with one eye; if the turbine appears approximately as tall as your thumb is thick, it is about a mile away from you, and you will probably hear its noise when there is a some wind. When there is no wind (a common condition for inland sites) there is no noise. The turbines are not making power, but its owners continue to collect tax benefits, etc. from our government. That's life.
Thanks again all that you do to keep these boondoggles from even being built.
