We are going to take the bus past all of the wind turbines here in the morning, if all goes to plan. There are tons along the lake.
Whenever I drive down to PA we go through Forest City (tiny town just over the NY/PA border). They have an entire hill side covered in turbines. Pretty amazing thing to watch.

We have lots of them about 20 minutes away from us in Wyoming County.

GA is far to ass-backward (or crooked, or both) to allow something like solar or wind to infringe on GA Power's profits...

I think I actually might have fixed the last bug after moving a proprietary jumble of HTML, CSS and PHP from a shared host to a VPS.
It was a great impromptu crash course on various bits of Linux administration, but I don't think I'd recommend it to a friend. Perhaps to an enemy.
I can't help but compare it to when I did the same move with a WordPress site about a year ago - I have a newfound appreciation for just how easy WP + well-made plugins makes stuff like this!

So many that it actually shows up on weather maps because it disturbs the air flow so much. But what Wyoming has is nothing compared to Spain!!

Wind kills birds and solar uses too much land that could used for agriculture, but isn't. :sarcasm:

Had a series of brownouts in NW Oregon due to a huge windy rain storm last night - They started happening right as I was talking about how storms make me think about the potential for power loss now and how I want to get a generator someday...

Got you covered with this one, I deployed my beard in a giant curtain to slow it down.
Jokes aside, same storm and she was pretty fierce.

Thanks - I thought I could rely on Portlanders' faces to break the storm, but it turns out they've mostly moved onto ironic mustaches at this point
It's tough loving the ambiance of heavy rain battering against the roof and windows, while also knowing that there's a good chance it will make a lot more work for me if it manages to cause a power outage...

It's actually more like "dirty politics kills any chance to progress as a state, but it's ok, because we politicians get dirty $$$$$$$$$$ from dirty businesses and churches, so our finances are fine.... "
I just love being from the state that is tied with Mississippi for last in every possible category.... <--- sarcasm supreme.

You're only a few categories away for Mississippians to start saying, "Well... at least this isn't Georgia."

@coliver you have no idea what a dark, depressing thing that is...
-
I hate wind turbines... they are ugly... and loud.
-
I never hear them, even when right under them.
