Spooky lights in the sky

We have seen a lot of wind farms while we’ve been travelling in France and also vast numbers of solar panels. Sometimes the huge barns they have here are covered in panels. Two years ago a friend in Bavaria told us there were generous government grants given to those who installed solar panels. I liked the lights that were on these turbines. I should think they’d need lights on the end of the blades although I didn’t see any. I thought it made them look very spooky.

We have a few wind farms here in Colorado. I've never seen any of them up close.

They make a whirring noise which some people find irritating. And they're huge.

They are to be found all over South Africa at the moment. A great save to electricity

We have wind farms in Australia too in areas that get a lot of wind.

They seem a good alternative to coal-fired power and certainly to nuclear power.

@judyev I find them quite creepy in an empty landscape.

They are so silent too really and even the small amount of noise they do make is a bit unearthly.
