The county allowed Rocky Mountain Power Co. to install eleven 200 ft. wind turbines in our subdivision, which has caused interruption in Internet service and lowered property values. Progress is definitely not always for the betterment of mankind.Jean Henry Meadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08146960738692672013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7799864205176216318.post-22297962122522741562010-03-09T21:27:02.207-08:002010-03-09T21:27:02.207-08:00What an interesting story on windmills, Mary.
Eve...What an interesting story on windmills, Mary.<br /><br />Every time I see a windmill, like the one in your photo, it reminds me that they are certainly bastions of our history.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing and for giving us a little history lesson, too!<br /><br />AliceAlice Tregohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07490361561870785904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7799864205176216318.post-91695170145633243942010-03-09T12:53:10.718-08:002010-03-09T12:53:10.718-08:00I love windmills!

Before the REA brought electricity to our community, the country store used a windmill to generate electricity.Heidiwriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02593338979995203659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7799864205176216318.post-43174527039573416642010-03-09T11:12:58.365-08:002010-03-09T11:12:58.365-08:00Interesting.

A few may still be wind powered, but many now have electric motors. Now, I'm curious, I'll have to do some asking of the farmers around here.Eunice Boevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187108399081673740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7799864205176216318.post-64620888471383076202010-03-07T14:38:57.243-08:002010-03-07T14:38:57.243-08:00Thank you for your comment, Kathleen.
