This is a response to Winnie Gent finding wind energy good for the environment but not good enough for her back yard. Wind energy is one, if not the only one, of the renewable energy resources that produces NO pollution, and eye pollution is not a valid form of pollution in this case.

Your apprehensiveness to the construction of the wind farm seems to be without merit. If you think that this wind farm will create horrible noise and eye pollution take a car ride one hour and 45 minutes north on I-39.

There you will find a cornfield that is being farmed alongside these 40-story windmills.

You can stand beneath these huge monsters and literally all you can hear is the wind moving past them. I personally thought there might have been some kind of residual noise but was incredibly impressed when I heard … nothing!

While visiting this farm at roughly sunset, the shadows should have been huge black lines crossing the corn "as it sliced up pie shaped pieces of my sunset" but it didn't. In fact the shadows of the towers didn't interfere with my view at all.

The windmills blended together with the land almost as if they had been there for decades.

After seeing how well these mills fit and work with the land, I would not mind sharing my back yard with any number of wind mills.

If humanity cannot live with the technology it uses to help preserve the environment, what good is even trying to save it in the first place?
