    I live in wny the windmills fucking suck. You spend your life savings buying property in the country with gorgeous scenery and views and bam farmer under the thumb of the state gets conned into putting windmills up and your peaceful piece of property is now staring at some dystopian looking shithole landacape. I dont do the conspiracy theories but i totally get voting to not allow windmills in an area you own property in.

        Right? I can get “it’s not the view I signed up for” or something, but my dude you do not own the view. You want to own the view it costs a hell of a lot more

      I saw them in the little falls area they look fine to me. I’m sure they are noticed when people have lower energy bills.
