Think this discussion is very interesting and I was listening but not so carefully to catch who commented that it is important to see the turbines WORKING-actually turning to share the message-but I think the true message-the impactful message that makes one stop and think is when you have a warm day that nothing is blowing and you realize wind energy is at a standstill-but energy use is up...same as a pouring rain day if you could see not much energy is being generated by solar...we need to expand all all alternative energy sources and make it visual-a sort of thermometer that shows the use of the city and how it is being off set by any energy.
