    What? They ain't pretty?

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        They’re gonna have a hard time finding a poor coastal neighborhood to put them in.

          I’ve never understood the pushback. I actually think they’re rather elegant.

            They look a lot nicer than a coal plant. For their size they're really not terribly obtrusive.

              I always thought so as well. I loved seeing them when driving to Western PA… Then I talked with friends living in the general vicinity. Supposedly they are VERY loud. But I wouldn’t think that would be an issue offshore? I mean the wind should mask it…

                  There are an absolute ton in my home area. My dad got behind the trucks hauling the parts up the mountain.

                  I've stood directly underneath the blades. They're almost completely silent.

                              If birds want to fuck around, then birds are going to find out.

                                I've been right under one too. I pulled off the highway in northern Illinois to take a leak on it. It was great. Very quiet though. Could not hear a thing. From the windmill, anyway.

                                It was fun to whiz on something that big. The kid in me lives.

                                  It must have been new, or well maintained.
