What am I looking at?
That's how you plant a wind farm.
You listen so you know what they are planning to do.
I believe that after burying the old blades it was determined that it was going to cause a problem. Dig them all up and they are sitting above ground now until they can figure out how to dispose of them. I can’t find the source on that though right now.
They are going to destroy that entire area before long. It is sad and disgusting. Some of that land is some amazing wild areas.Details of the proposed wind farm. 50% private land, 50% public land.

Those are the decommissioned blades from windmills in the Casper dump.
Haven’t seen studies for grouse, but for waterfowl, avoidance distances are much larger for wind turbines than well pads.
This is what the energy department is hanging its hat on... It is sickening...
Interesting they are building a massive wind farm without a single contract to sell the energy produced? What company can afford to invest that time/money/resources without any guarantee? The entire thing is a disaster.... FYI this is the power transmission line. These photos were of a rare area in the desert west of Baggs. This area was one big canyon that did not have a road (actually has a couple stunted growth aspen) it has a riparian area in the bottom... It was one of a few spots where a person could hike a mile and not hit a road. Now unfortunately there is a new huge road right in the middle of it all...
Might want to check those prices. My rates are way lower in WA than what I paid in MT. And MT rates just got jacked up enough that @BigHornRam might need to rethink his opposition to Chinese solar panels.
