I was fortunate enough to catch the sunset from the top of Hatchet Mountain last Saturday night. What a glorious sight. The new windmill array is spinning out enough power to take care of thousands of homes, all without killing birds, polluting or increasing our dependence on foreign countries.
The architecture is inspiring and the sounds are amazing. The entire project is something to admire, but I can’t help but wonder what took so long, the wind has been blowing and the mountains have been there since time began. Windmills have been in use for most of recorded history.
Whether it was politics or economics that suppressed alternative energy sources they are both popular and economically viable nowadays. If you haven’t seen them you owe it to yourself to visit, just head towards Burney, California and look to the northwestern mountains nearby. I promise you will see them.
See you there!
