Spoken like a true Wyomingite - NOT!, John A Kinney ... as long as it's not in your back yard ... yet!
The problem with these wind farms, is that they also want to grab a two-mile wide swath of land from here to Boise, Idaho. Oh, wait a minute ... they only want 160 feet, right? Then why the 2 mile wide swath of land? Perhaps to enlarge upon, once they have their thousands of wind mills interferring with EVERYONE's vision from one side of the state to the other - your's included, dear John.
Unfortunately, just as with the oil, it won't benefit us here in Wyoming. They plan to transport the energy out of state. We just get to deal with the land grab and the lovely access restrictions. No trespassing. No hunting. No anything. Stay out!! BLM, private or National Forest - you, the public who owns the land will not be allowed upon them.
So perhaps THIS particular set of wind mills isn't going to affect you personally, but I also happen to know that there are plans to build wind mills as far as they eye can see out Mr. Alcova's way also, as well as all over the buttes south and east of Casper.
As usual, we are all asleep at the wheel as they sneak in their 'green' and therefore 'acceptable' eye pollutants and land possessions. Sigh ... these will be even more difficult to fight off than the wolves.
Tell me when this thread is updated!

Daily Horoscope for December 26

Capricorn

Mercury retrograde in your sign will cause some friction between you and other people during coming weeks. Matters that have been bubbling away in the background will come to the boil, forcing you to do something about them. Try not to overreact, nor to create a crisis out of something that's really very minor. You should also keep a strong sense of fair play and pay attention to every little detail.
