The Dakota Access Pipeline route would make a pretty good map for locating wind turbines. Maybe a little farther west through Nebraska to Texas, which have been annoyingly windy every time I've gone through. I'll trust Hammerstein on Oklahoma. <br /><br />30 years ago Scientific American had an article that said North and South Dakota alone could meet our electric needs with wind. And technology improves; large, slow turning turbines are better for birds.<br /><br />Our wide open spaces give us a big advantage over Northern European countries, where folks are starting to complain about the noise and vibration from large wind farms near homes. I suspect the indigenous folks would be more receptive to wind farms on their sacred lands; I'm sure the few remaining small farmers would love some income leasing portions of their land, especially as they can continue to grow corn and wheat around the turbines. Cows are probably too stupid to notice, at least <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0bbJzG98rW8/USoP8xTBthI/AAAAAAAAARE/0gGFinMYBzY/s1600/windblade-cow2-15x.jpg" rel="nofollow">they don't seem bothered</a> in Livermore.<br /><br />But you know all that.
