California to Tap Wind Power form Chugwater (Wyoming)
2011-12-21
Pathfinder is developing a large wind power project, planning to build 2,100 megawatts of wind power on more than 100,000 acres near Chugwater, Wyo., said John Reed of Pathfinder. The Zephyr project would originate in Chugwater and terminate in the Eldorado Valley just south of Las Vegas.

The 500,000-volt line would be a direct current line that's projected to cost about $3.5 billion. The project would help transport electricity generated from Wyoming wind farms to California, which has set a renewable target to obtain one-third of its power from renewable sources by 2020.
On somebody else's property, with the transmision lines acorss other states, keeping Cali-for-ya "green". I wonder how much a kilowatt hour of this is gonna cost?
Want to kill it? Have someone plant the news that it's somehow related to the Keystone pipeline.

They are going to build sixty shortly in our area. They can't build them in cities. Union work. Gravel roads and no trespassing signs.
Ugly for sure. Great for graffti. Tax money to build them. Power and money goes wherever. They want them turned off at night so people can sleep because of the noise they make.

#1  I hope my friends and neighbors use these Californian pieces of crap windmills for target practice.

If you've never seen a windfarm in person, they are ugly as sin. I wish they'd rip everyone of them out and pull them down.
