I for one am a proud Canadian that these alternative sources of power generation are going up. I can also understand that these turbines are huge and can be an eye sore. However why are we and for that matter the property owners not looking into the use of airborne wind turbines. They are supposed to be up in the lower or high levels of the atmosphere, where wind currents are MUCH stronger and provide a high yield of power. Not to mention a smaller carbon footprint. What good is finding alternative sources of power generation if people fight it every step of the way, Sometimes you just need to keep it out of the line of fire.
Out of sight, out of mind
