Apparently medical issues are starting to appear. I'd say definitely keep building them, but with safeguards so that we don't affect the quality of Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15032349508396021975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7676353274986264089.post-15988730307494094632008-07-23T08:11:00.000-07:002008-07-23T08:11:00.000-07:00We have a number of turbines here in the midwest, ...We have a number of turbines here in the midwest, including a large farm about 40 minutes north of me.
