As someone who grew up in North Dakota, I'm excited to see this happening in my home state. Not just because of the economic development, but because of the "green" of it.

Hear hear. I'm a North Dakota native (now living in Fargo) and visited the wind farm near Edgeley about a year ago and took my camera with me. Some environmental people complain that the generators are ugly and that they kill birds. First, I think they look beautiful and secondly, if you've lived on a farm in a house that had a window, I'll tell you right now that a window poses much more of a "bird killing risk" than any wind farms do. North Dakota is one of the few places in America where there is always a wind (it is almost never calm here). Why not harness this naturaly occuring energy source? I can't think of a valid reason not to.
