Fantastic News!!!

I live 10 minutes from the 2nd largest wind farm in the world. See link below. From my yard, I see the turbines turning nonstop due to the high winds in this hot, dry desert area. They are beautiful to look at, knowing the good they produce. Another project is being built here to supply a large portion of the electrical needs for Los Angeles.

I wish they would build one here, I too, think they are beautiful. And so much better for the earth.

Linda H...why not call the City of Rockport and tell them you live in the same state. Ask them how to go about getting a wind farm in your area. Who knows? Your councilmembers may already be considering it.
