Minnesota utility plans wind farm over coal reserves 2

Story at Wind Watch:

A Minnesota utility said it's planning its own mega wind farm in Oliver County, meaning Oliver and Morton counties could some day be home to as many as 1,000 new wind turbines across the hilltops.

At the same time the turbines are capturing mile after mile of wind, they could cover up substantial coal reserves along that southern stretch of Coal Country ...

Let’s live on the planet as if we intend to stay.

    Hehey'"It's one thing to champion wind. It's another thing to imagine looking at (750) of them on our beautiful landscape,"Cramer said.'
    Coal execs, always looking out for the environment.  I guess NIMBYs even exist in almost deserted N. Dakota?  Ahh, the beautiful landscape left by coal mining, must be preserved at all costs!

    Guilt By AssociationJust because an evil pig says something doesn't make it false.  I fully agree that natural land should be preserved in its natural form, and placing windmills there is thoroughly disgusting.  While I'm sure that a coal executive's motivations for opposing wind power in these areas are the opposite of mine, I nevertheless support what you quoted him saying.
