Unfortunantly I would have to disagree when you say that wind turbines dont produce very much electricity. Although I dont know the exact numbers I do know a lot of land owners around my area that make about $10,000 a month per, and we are talking hundreds of turbines. Now when it comes to hot or cold I have seen these turbines running non-stop whether or not the temperature is below freezing or our normal over 100 degree days. Wind energy is a very good source of renewable energy it is just a shame that it will take a lot of space to put all these turbines. But that is a good thing about west Texas, the two things that we have plenty of is space and wind and this is a good way to capatalize on both.

There is concern about these birds that are not doing so great when it comes to numbers. The real fact of the matter has to do with just more than just birds, it has to do with anything and everything that calls North Padre and the surrounding area home. I live in west Texas where we are the home of wind energy and I know first hand the destruction that these turbine companies can do to land. I also know the impact that these companies will have on land that is supposed to be designated to animals that are endangered or call the beaches of North Padre home every year. The destruction ranges from new roads to sub-stations, not to mention camps and new power lines which will run through these designated lands. We need to keep on these companies and make them realize what they are doing is a mistake, not to mention public officials. Like I have told many other people there is a place for these turbines and it is wide open spaces like the hundreds of thousands of acres that is just sitting out here in west Texas. Thank you and please help convince these people what they are doing is wrong.
