Windmills

David and I drove across Wyoming today . . . Dave was quite taken with several windmill fields we found. It seemed a little unusual, since Wyoming didn't seem like it was doing a lot of the standard environmental stuff like recycling. . . Well, we stopped at a view point and hanging up on their bulletin board was an article telling about the Windmills, and telling us that they product power that is sold to Oregon. Pacific Corp gets it first, then Bonneville then Eugene Power and Electric. They said the mills in that group provide enough energy to power a city of 47,000 people. And it was only 180 windmills! Why aren't we all doing this?
On to Nevada . . .
