Back in July T. Boone Pickens announced a quartering of his mega-wind farm project. The project has essentially been scrapped due to continuing issues with access to transmission lines, as Mr. Pickens downplays wind in his wind+natural gas “plan.” The remaining order with GE has been halved to three hundred odd turbines, whose future home is expected to be relocated from the Texas panhandle to Canada or Montana.

The comic has nothing to do with the story per se, but was interesting and allows for a segue to an NYT/Greenwire piece from last month pointing out that Wind Projects Don’t Hurt Neighbors’ Property Values — Study. Makes sense to me. After all, if the likes of Monet and van Gogh found beauty in windmills, who am I to disagree?
