The locals seem to be happy with the windmills, particularly the farmers leasing the land for them. I was told that they are operating at greater than the 40% of the time average for wind power and that they're killing fewer birds than expected and mostly starlings, which are an invasive species. Still, in what is close to a wilderness area, it's startling to see the windmills from miles away, and if you're near them when they're spinning, they're pretty noisy.<br /><br />As it happens, the eastern side of Lake Michigan has some of the highest average sustained windspeeds in the continental U.S. so this may be a case where wind power makes sense.autothreadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922732992155191413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-8761085019631324712021-06-12T07:53:39.582-07:002021-06-12T07:53:39.582-07:00Whatever happened to Boris?

Why is that?<br /><br />Don’t know if you saw Greta Thunberg’s recent speech (rant), but she says we are squandering her future. Somebody had better do something fast! I just found out she’s important enough to have her own spellchecker/autocorrect entry on my iPad. If she’s THAT important…<br /><br />Good grief.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-86274410180263552002021-06-12T02:36:12.372-07:002021-06-12T02:36:12.372-07:00Every proposal being floated or implemented by the...Every proposal being floated or implemented by the leftists who are running Biden is either a pipedream or a feverdream, often both at the same time.
