Wind Turbines

Renewable energy is coming to our view.  Over the past few months, two renewable energy projects have been started near us.  One is a square mile of solar panels directly to our south.  The other is a wind turbine project to our east, on Warbonnet Ranch.  We can now see the tops of two cranes from our garage porch, so Papa and I rode our Ranger over to check it out.  A lot of dirt has been moved and a lot of expensive equipment is on site and was moving about.  The good news... renewable energy is certainly cleaner than the alternatives used by our local electric company (as it spews dirty smoke), and thousands of people are working on the technology and installations.  The down side for us is that our view is changed forever.   It is a small price to pay for cleaner air!
