Your Questions About Windmill Farms

adminsta answers:

They are all crazy, nuts, insane (!!) and the most hypocritical people on the planet. They want all of these thing, but don’t you dare cut down a tree or locate it where it can be seen. Heaven forbid that it put the life of the phanton lizard in danger too.

Also, if you decide to put something on your home that will make it more energy efficient it had better be hidden from site. I put in a solar water heating system and the panels had to be placed on my roof, behind my chimney and not on the side of the roof facing the road (even though that is the sunnier side) so it would not create an “eyesore”. I swear to God! These people are crazy.

Of course anything the affects the wind by definition affects the weather, the question is to what degree.

My sense is that relatively little of the total wind energy is captured by the windmills, hence the effect on weather should be very small BUT there is always the butterfly effect…..

…there are cases where very small changes have very large consequence.

Windmill farms are just that. A lot of windmills on the side of a hill. Generating electricity.

They are afraid of this happening which i think is pretty rare. Check out the link below. There are some near my home and i think it is cool every time we drive by.

This can be very challenging on many levels.

First off it takes BIG Money. – I believe they look at at least $1,000,000 /windmill. For the land lease, a good road to the site, the pad/footings for the windmill, and then the actual windmill. Then you have to have electrical wire to connect it to the grid. If you aren’t near a main transmission system….It can take many miles of pylons and wire to get you there and this is pricey.

Before you even start, anyone that finances you, is going to want you to have a contract in place to sell your electicity to someone. Depending upon your jurisdiction this can be very complicated due to regulation. In my jurisdiction and neighboring ones, it is so regulated you have to have many windmills to provide the amount of energy they require.

There are also currently issues with sourcing windmills. There is so much demand for them that sometimes the only way to get them is to partner (and share your profits) with the manufacturer of the turbines. I understand there sometimes are used ones you can source out of Europe but I am not as familiar with this.

Also there are many issues with ‘noise’ or vibration so you don’t want to be too close to neighbors, and sometimes communities fight to have them at least a mile or a mile and a half from houses. You also have to deal with government jurisdictions to ensure you meet their rural plans, building requirements/restrictions, and acceptable use regulations for the property you are proposing to put the windmills on.

So a very drawn out process. Some jurisdictions are easier than others. Some are harder.

The easiest ones will allow you to put up one windmill on your property (subject to building restrictions etc.) and sell whatever power you don’t use on to the grid. The worse jurisdictions just make it impossible for you to do at all.
