Tilting at windmills
I commend Atty. Gen. Bill Lockyer for forcing windmill operators to comply with reducing bird kills (July 24). The big issue with windmills is their size. What good is an industry that, in order to produce a nominal amount of power, has to consume vast amounts of land and create a large-scale blight on the landscape?
One landowner should not have the right to ruin another landowner’s views and property values. The future of windmills is visual pollution on the largest scale and lawsuits that pit neighbor against neighbor.
