A Wind Farm in West Virginia

The towers are very tall (likely about 400 feet). There are proposals to build a wind farm in our area. See vawind.org for a discussion that includes many reasons why ridge-top wind turbines are controversial.

Postscript: The Forest Service turned out the proposal, which would have been disruptive to wildlife.
