They have some huge wind farms out in CA. Pretty impressive to seem them all working.

I don't know how true it is and I'd have to look it up but I've been told it takes 300 square miles of wind farm to equal a 3 square mile nuclear plant.I'll take the nuclear.

I live in the UK and on the east coast near where i live we have loads of wind turbines i think they look cool and they produce lot of power if they are positioned in the right places.

Awesome!
Nuclear power makes me nervous, I like this better.

I love wind turbines. I think they are so beautiful! When I was road trippin it across the country this spring we saw some massive windfarms in Texas. In Delaware we just signed a contract with Bluewater Wind to create the first North American off-shore wind farm.
