It's the price we pay for a volunteer army.    BTW, there are only 2 things that the US is still number one at ... We spend more than any other country on defense and we have more of our citizens in jail than any other country.

Of course, giant scarecrows would be much more fun...just think of folks unearthng the scarecrows a couple 1000 years form now....they will think we worshiped wind gods.

A wind farm, once built, will produce energy for many, many years at an amazingly low cost and no pollution...just need to put guards on them like our indoor fans have.
