glad to move away from Nebraska (but the people were so nice, so caring, etc.) and get back to a more calmer environment (not as much wind). I'm surprised that it's taken Wyoming so long to take advantage of this resource, why not?

In Missouri, most of the windfarms are in the N of Missouri...there is a blurb in one of our energy bills that stated that utility companies generate I think 5% of their electricity from alternative sources.

What's funny is that I don't see what the hangup is about windmills (tRUMP for example, keeps harping idiotically about windmills), when farmers in this Country for generations had windmills to pump water into their ponds etc.
