    I think the biggest issue with wind energy is the amount of locations that you could have enough turbines to power a residential area.

    I've seen a few if these driving through TX. Seems like it would only be practical for wide open areas like that, direct benefit to farming and cattle etc.

    I've driven through west TX on I10 a few times. That stretch with the wind farms makes you feel very small.

    I'm all for wind farms, but like Lyle says, nuclear energy is more than effective and takes up a lot less space. It is perfectly safe in nations that are not prone to massive earthquakes. In places like the UK which are small and seldom have more than moderate earthquakes nuclear energy should provide most of the power.

    Technically, the wind velocity of the typical fart is insufficient to produce even a miniscule amount of energy. However, the methane content can be ignited, thus producing another type of energy.

    Thank you for that Tito, I have seen many a fart set alight.
