   Evidence has begun to show those windmills produce a low frequency droning that drive some critters nuts…indeed, causing them to flee the area, which throws the food chain out of kilter. As I understand it, the greenies are doing it for the good of said animals. Odd people, them.

   As to the weather issue, I’d venture they don’t do much, if anything at all, just as the planting of windbreaks hasn’t. Now, if they were screwing with the jet stream…

   OA, time will tell. And then, of course, it will be too late.

   I read once that with enough hydroelectric dams the rotation of the earth could be effected.

   I’ve read a lot things. Some of them are even believable. That? Probably not.

   Apparently the Three Gorges Dam in China has a big enough reservoir to throw off the rotation of the earth by a microsecond, so there might be something to that theory. On the other hand, I read that in a Cracked list, so YMMV.

   All I know is that my unicorn farm start-up will be powered by rainbow farts once the livestock actually shows up.

   I know it sounds like something from the aluminum underwear crowd, but I know a few in agriculture you are worried the increase in these windmills will change the ‘charge’ of the subsoil; as in ‘electrical’ charge. You know…positive or negative.

   The argument goes lightning occurs when there is a ‘positive’ charge in the subsoil that builds to the point that when a ‘negative’ charge cloud mass approaches lightning occurs as the natural result of the discharge and equalization of the two charges.

   Many feel the lightning discharge also facilitates rainfall in some instances, but the presence of the tall windmills have a tendency to dissipate the positive charges slowly before they build to the point of violent discharge;i.e. lightning and therefore the windmills reduce the chance of rain….especially so in an abnormally ‘dry’ year.

   Fact or Fiction? Don’t have a clue, but it’s something I’m watching because I’ve got a whole bunch of windmills just a few miles south of all our farms.

   All The Best,
