UPDATE: Wind power developer pledges to clear discarded turbine blades from Minnesota town
Thank you Minneapolis State Tribune for this report!
I have said for years these wind farms are destroying the land. When I went back home years ago from New Mexico to Minnesota, these turbines have just destroyed the scenic views of America. All those red lights across the prairie. Two summers ago when Sharon, Daisy and I were on a Great Commission trip up into Wyoming we saw way too many of those monsters of destruction. We stopped in Medicine Bow, Wyoming, out in the middle of no where, but there is a lot of those wind turbines there. UGH! They destroy the view, the peace…. Also if they are so vital, why does not our electric bills go down? So now they dump the old ones all over……stupid! No recycling??? So stupid. I call it wind turbine pollution!
Follow the money folks……..

GRAND MEADOW, Minn. — Darcy Richardson had big plans for a garden patio enveloped by flowers in her backyard in this little community south of Rochester.
She gave up once the blades arrived.
Trucks dropped off 111 fiberglass turbine blades on the empty lot next door in 2020, haphazardly stacked to the edge of Richardson’s property. Almost four years later, the mountain of old wind parts — which is visible on Google Earth — is still there.
Some blades are cracked and stained. Locals say they draw feral cats and foxes and are a safety risk because kids climb on the junk. More Here
