I like this graphic below for a little perspective on how much ‘noise’ a wind turbine […]

Community ownership seems like the best option.

If it were *right next to* my back yard, on land I didn’t own, and the thing produced 50db whenever the wind blew, and made my house blink in sunlight, I’d want a cut of the money it made.

But why mess around with wind and solar now TAWKT has been invented . Non stop .river or tidal REH simple ,cheap .silent REH anywhere any time . Wet kenape has been copied , developed in Scotland by Atlantis and now makes the cheapest .cleanest and silent energy in the world . The new tangential axis is even better .Partners and sponsors welcome. 4paz,org

When you get that far north you’ve got some long summer days.

Going with wind first makes sense for the location. The price of turbines is low right now due to high supply levels. Don’t count out solar in places like Wisconsin as panel prices continue to fall. Large quantity prices are now under $1/watt.

I’m guessing that solar is likely to be part of the 60% renewable. The turbines are only the first 15%.
