check out this version of the wind farm I did at this location - etravus - These are cleaner then dumping oil on the land but it never came to me how it stores up electricity and is like living under a mega powerline??? I love that they are cleaner but some precautions still need to be put into the picture!!! - live w mcs
Wind farm and greenhouse gas farm, together
Hey look! Here on Interstate 10 near Palm Springs, California, we can see a wind farm that is saving the planet and a greenhouse gas farm that is destroying it.

Great contrast!

Great shot! Too bad gas farms are everywhere and wind farms are hard to find!

If we build wind farms along all of the highway maybe we can achieve a balance!

That is quite the visual statement, Kevin. Dare I say perhaps we are finally starting to try to achieve balance for our planet!

Oh yes, I've seen that scene many times on the drive from AZ to CA. And busier.
Nicely captured, Kevin!
