I've driven through the new Horse Hollow Wind farm between San Angelo & Abilene. I almost hate to admit it, but I thought they "looked" pretty cool. Now whether I would think that if they were on my property, or more importantly...my neighbors property, is another thing. I have traveled alot in West & Southwest Texas in the last few years and have seen quite a few wind farms. I never really saw any of them as being "eyesores". I don't know if it was the desolate land they tended to be on or the basic clean white look/design of them. It's getting harder and harder for people to make a living off the land and for next generations to hold onto family property. If wind energy is indeed the great alternative we have been looking for, then they will have to go "somewhere"....and chances are, "somewhere" will be where someone doesn't want them to be.
