"If the world is still spinning the wind's still going to be here"

The flatlands of middle America can become draining when driving at eighty miles an hour on the interstate. That is until you reach the wind farm on I-70 in Kansas. These turbines are a serious sight to see. It seemed as if they went for on for miles and miles, first on the north side followed by the south, and then both! The future of energy harvesting is coming upon us an the best part about the whole process is that the majority of the land is still able to be farmed by the landowners as if the turbines weren't even there.

Here is a link that explains a little more about what is happening in what is now the interesting state of Kansas:

Like I said I am just amazed at the progress that has been made. Just two short years ago we drove through this same stretch of highway and were impressed with the mere 20 or so turbines were up. Today we were astonished and it created a strong feeling of hope.

Until the next stop,
