Stray Thought 2
Those who consider wind farms to be unsightly have likely never seen an oilfield.
This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

Or smelled one.
I’ve been to Houston & to Sweetwater. (Yes, there is such a city in west Texas.) Oilfields in both places.
And both places stink to high heaven. Even with my nose & I can’t even smell cigarettes.

Frankly, I think wind farms have sort a majestic industrial grace. There’s one off the Pa. Turnpike near Somerset that I used to see on my regular trips to western Pa.
And that thing about endangering birds is no longer valid is probably overstated. Here’s an interview with a birder which seems fairly balanced–the key consideration seems to be care in choosing a location.
