[QUOTE="farmguy, post: 1491227, member: 1419"] I read today that renewable energy, wind and solar, is now a cheaper source of electricity than natural gas and coal. This is without the subsidies which of course helped them initially to be competitive. We have one about a mile from us and It is supposed to be the largest in the state, I am not sure of this. From my stand point I see no problems. The landowner a friend of mine has horses grazing under it with no problems. This neighbor said he sees no dead birds near the tower. I do have a couple questions. First will the subsidies now be phased out? Also if any of you have wind towers near you do you see many dead birds? This was a criticism of the towers. Any other issues. On a side note Ted Kennedy was a great advocate of wind energy until a wind farm was proposed for Cape Cod. Then the old "not on my backyard" thing. farmguy [/QUOTE]
