Windmills

Added: Jun 5th, 2008
Windmills I will work toward putting up windmills in Washoe Valley. It will be one of my prime goals as your representative. (See NIMBY) Some farmers in the mid-west are leasing their lands for windmills. They are reportedly being paid as much as $5000 a year for leasing 1/4 acre. While windmills are not, and have not been, touted as being the final solution to our energy problems, they ARE a sizeable supplement. I read once that windmill energy may fall below 5 cents per kilowatt hour if mass produced. Better, cheaper, and cleaner than coal and nuclear. Imagine retooling Detroit and those lost jobs into manufacturing large scale windfarms for our whole country. More will be added to this page...
