Loving that wind turbine power ..... naught.

Some rural Minnesotans are howling over the noise and shadows from wind farms.

ELKTON, MINN. -- Every sunny morning, shadows from the massive rotating blades swing across their breakfast table. The giant towers dominate the view from their deck. Noise from the turbines fills the silence that Dolores and Rudy Jech once enjoyed on their Minnesota farm.

"Rudy and I are retired, and we like to sit out on our deck," Dolores said. "And that darned thing is right across the road from us. It's an eyesore, it's noisy, and having so many of them there's a constant hum."

Just as they are being touted as a green, economical and job-producing energy source, wind farms in Minnesota are starting to get serious blowback. Across the state, people are opposing projects worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Opposition is also rising in other states. It's not likely to blow over quickly in Minnesota, which is the nation's fourth-largest producer of wind power and on track to double its 1,805-megawatt capacity in the next couple of years.

Golly Gee Sam don't you know we gotta save the planet from those evil coal fired power plants.

People must sacrifice for the good of society.

Afterall, the Obama and Gore gods said so, and they never ever ever ever lie. Additionally, think of all the green jobs being created. His highness, King Obama the 1st, told us that would lift us out of this recession and he never ever ever ever ever lies.
