Zoom w a View: Under a turbine, over the moon

Slowly the number of turbines in Ontario is growing.


Because necessity is the mother of invention I'm certain we'll find ways to determine the appropriate distance they must be from occupied dwellings, how many to erect to collect the right percentage of renewable energy and where the best wind corridors are.

This one is about 2 km. west of Port Burwell on the lakeshore road, and 200 metres away is an information centre.

If you're thinking 'field trip' don't miss the Big Scoop ice cream store in Burwell.

The black cherry double scoop is worth the drive.

cool picture. Palm Springs is close to me and on the way there, there are many windmills. I think they look so cool and always remind me of Don Quixote.
