Surrounding counties to mine did not pass the windmill farms a couple of years ago. I have no idea why it wasn't put forth in my county, maybe due to geological makeup of the majority as we kinda sit in a bowl. On election day, I was talking to an older woman that said she and her husband were meeting with "some windmill folks" about installing several windmills on their 300 ac ranch outside of town. I mentioned the noise, the health impacts, the backwards environmental effects, ruining their solitude with the obstruction of the skyline and sunrises/sunsets, and mostly the massive costs that her family will have to shoulder in 20-25 yrs from now, when she's dead and gone. She was totally unaware of any of those things besides the view. She said all they asked was if they lived full time on the property. Like many older folks, they moved "to town" once they started to age, but still run cattle and plant some crops on the property, paying others to run their operation. I had no idea these companies were soliticing private land owners, especially the elderly. What a perfect "mark" they have set up.
