Thanks, Krista, for reminding me of the windmill allegory in Animal Farm. As modern power-generating windmills are close to my heart, I am hoping that we get back on track to tap this endless (and increasingly strong, as witnessed by our weather predictions for today) source of fuel-free energy. Wind and solar are economically a much better means of powering our energy future as fossil fuels become more and more expensive to extract. New, power-hungry projects like data centers MUST be constrained to use their own new renewably-produced onsite energy sources, not carbon-based grid power.

Apologies if you read an early version of this where my human folly was being unable to spell windmills. Windwills also have a nice ring to them!
They do! Also I don't know how you knock these great pieces out every week. Thanks for the words!
I don’t know either. It’s a lunatic pursuit

I’m with you! I have a meadow upstate and I’m wondering about a few windmills of my own some day!
