I have a place not too far from Cle Elum, and while I don’t recall the city that well, the windmills are built on fairly bland farm land are they not? i.e. it’s not like they built on the mountain range itself.



I visited the Wild Horse wind farm, and the turbines were on fairly nondescript terrain, if anything enhancing it. I think this is unlike, say, the Palouse area (a few hours east) or the Lake District in the UK, where farms are being erected on particularly beautiful countryside.

Of course it quickly becomes very subjective.

You wouldn't happen to be involved in the MSFT data center business?
