We often drive from our West Central Ohio home up toward Van Wert, to meet my sister and her kids who live in Ft. Wayne IN. For the first time in many months, we actually drove all the way up into Ft. Wayne. On the drive up US Route 30, I saw what was to my eyes, a very beautiful sight......
This was the first time I saw full-sized industrial wind energy turbines, and I must say that I found them quite beautiful. There were dozens of them visible from US Route 30 and several more were under partial construction. I managed to snap a few very bad pictures from the car.

I was not aware of the project, seeing that I live several counties away, but I looked online for more info....

The energy company pays local taxes, the landowners get lease payments, the CO2 emissions saved are incredible, what is the downside to putting up more of these wind farms, other than ignorance?
