My last day on the beach, cut me some slack. BTW the surf produced this morning. Trout & pompano, good vitles tonight. Fishing has been above average this year.

As of last year, more than 19,000, by far the most of any state. These turbines have the capacity to produce over 40,000 megawatts of electricity

I’ll bet easily 10% are non-functional

I’ll raise that 10% to at least 30-40% from I’ve seen/heard.

Just messin wit you

Back on topic - hate the cursed things. Not only will taxpayers (you know we will) be on the hook once they die or are made obsolete and the owners skip / go bankrupt, but they destroy our beautiful scenery. :face_vomiting:

There is always a constant stream of propellers going west on i10

In South Texas, from Corpus to the Valley, I see plenty of inoperative windmills

Drive I 10 through Palm Springs. Literally hundreds of them for miles. Dystopian
