A few hours northeast of Denver there is a wonderful place called Pawnee Buttes. It’s located out on the middle of the prairie (read nowhere!) with nothing around but wildlife for miles and miles. The views are amazing. You can see the weather approaching from miles away.
Sadly now the “hand of man” is beginning to show in a big way. The cliffs and ridges are all laden with huge wind turbines. Once I enjoyed the view of a few graceful turbines blowing in the wind. Now when I see how they are increasing I worry about the impact they have on the once pristine prairie. Will they deliver the benefits to us or will they end up as litter that needs to be removed? Guess only time will tell.
