Blowing in the the Wind.

Drove out Tenny Mountain Highway (NH Rt 25 going west from Plymouth).  The wind farmers have been active, we now have shiny new windmills all along the ridge.  This is new, so new that not all of them are turning yet.  They are eye catching.  Probably not as ugly as a power line, but I wouldn't say they improve the view.
  And they raise my electric rate.  PSNH pays outrageous prices for "renewable energy".  And they get serious tax breaks.  And since you cannot count on the wind blowing, PSNH has to build real power plants to handle their load.  Which is the major cost of electricity, the cost of the generating plant.  Fuel cost is small compared to paying off the generators.
