Windmills?
Why are enviromentalists against windmills for energy. I live in maine and they’re trying to get it approved to get them put up here but there’s a big debate about it messing up the scenery. Isn’t this what the enviromentalists have been fighting for all along, alternative energy?

Yes, but “not that way” we’ve got to find a better way……until eveything is gone…

windmills?
i have to make a windmill for school that lifts a weight. [the wind is produced by a fan.] how can i do this? any ideas?
adminsta answers:
Make your blades. Attach them to a shaft (about 6″ long) that runs parallel to the floor. Tie a piece of string toward the end of the shaft (securely). As the shaft rotates, the string will wind around it, lifting a small weight.
You may want to put some sort of barriers about 1″ apart on either side of the string. That way it doesn’t move too far along the shaft.

Paul asks…
How much money do those Electric Windmills make per year? What are the requirements to get one on your land?
I live in northwest missouri, where the wind is incredible. They have been putting up those massive white electric windmills all over the place. I was wondering what it takes to get some and how much each of those make to someone with it on their farmland?
Thanks!

Jeff, the re-numeration to the landowner is negotiated individually with the power production company, and normally, for cost reasons, they like to place several (not just one) in a wind-favored, environmentally less-sensitive area with tax incentives from the local governments. The economics can depend on several factors, including tax incentives, so an attorney experienced in this area is pretty much required as your negotiator.
The requirements include a windy area, preferably out of sight, where the state and locally authorities will permit based on noise, wildlife and access considerations, clear title to land ownership, willingness to sign no-fault (i.e., does the noise annoy you later?) provisions (see sources, below).
Contact the firms directly (see sources, below).
