| 57. Wind generators are beautiful and elegant. |
|
There's a huge one not 1/4 mile from my home, and I think it's poetry in motion, literally. No noise, no pollution, no upkeep, and no threat to birds. Anybody who thinks that polluting coal plants or nuclear power plants are better than wind should go live next door to a coal plant or nuclear power plant.
What? You don't want to live next to one? Gee, what a surprise.
