OT - Wind The other problems with wind are that no one wants the props anywhere near them. The sound becomes maddening as well as the appearance. And it is a very high maintenance proposition to keep the props in service.

OT [while waiting for last Thurs opening gap to fill]
build two dams on a river

Interesting idea. Has this approach become standard for suitably sited nuke installations? Has it ever been tried in a hydroelectric facility? I assume they are still building these things in other parts of the world.

I think [dams] are a lot prettier than wind turbines.

But are they as attractive or as useful as wetlands?
