Yes to wind mills in general. Where they go is an issue for the experts in that field. I think they look for places that will have continuous wind above a certain speed , places that will have below a certain height of Max surf during hurricanes , Places where they power can be transmitted to the grid without too much line lose , palces with workable depths , etc , etc. The only drawback I see is on being obstacles to navigation. I don't think any other argument holds water , not even the drop in real estate values. I'm not so sure that would even happen.

Anyway , we need energy and we need it now. "Not in my back yard" has added a gazzilion dollars to the cost of energy in the USA.

I've been close to the one Near Portsmouth Abby and to be honest , nless you are looking right at it , you forget its even there.

So for me its thumbs up for wind power.
