    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 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!
