WInd mill in NH?

[paul ron]

I was in VT this weekend, Wilmington. While on Mt Olga I noticed maybe in the west (not sure of the direction) I saw what looked like wind mills, 10 white poles off in the far distance. Anyone know anything about em, where exactly they are?

BTW colors are past peak and almost no leaves left on the trees, some pocket areas still have some yellows left.

Thanks

Yes, they are windmills. Route 8 south from Searsburg passes just below them.

There are 11 of them now & they are proposing more in the National Forest:

I'm confused about the thread subject, you're talking about VT, right? (I know there were some proposals for NH in Lyman and Berlin, can't remember which if any passed)

Wind towers in Portugal

We may think that they are unsightly, and yes, I have seen the ones up in VT, but they are very common in Portugal and on the island of Madeira. I was impressed that they generate 19% of their electricity using wind towers, hydro electric generated from the levadas (waterways) and burning of their trash. We need to stop being so dependent on oil.
