Wind turbines fill the skies all over Iowa. They are in our view to the west. They are way to close to home. We have never been a fan. They ruin a beautiful view of the wide open country side, the picturesque skies, and the sunsets. They are extremely expensive and required hauling across the country in semi's and massive cranes to repair. I often wonder how many years it will take to come out ahead from the billions of dollars it takes to build these crazy things. I have often wondered how long it will take before we come up with a more efficient way to produce energy. What then, what will they do with these turbines? They will deteriorate and be a mazzive eye sore. The expense to tear them down would be too great. They are supposed to be heavy duty indestructible, and able to withstand tornadoes. We have several nearby that are pretty new. It didnt take long to see cranes back out doing repairs, replacing blades, and broken blades, brnt out motors. With the recent winds and tornadoes, we can testify they are not tornado proof. So what happens when they quit working? We are starting to see for ourselves. Wind turbine graveyards. Yep its becoming a thing. These are supposed to be green energy yet we are burying them in the ground. We have driven by piles and piles of old beat up blades near Ellsworth. It is a terrible site.
Another interesting fact, people's electric bills have increased significantly as a result of the wind turbines. Wasn't the idea to save energy and money?
