Wind Energy
I'm all for wind energy, solar energy or any other form of alternative energy. I am not a fan, however, or visually disturbing pieces of equipment. Now, I understand that wind turbines are not meant to be beautiful. But if I had to look at one everyday, I wouldn't be too happy. The people in northwest Omaha are right to oppose the man who wants to put up a small wind turbine. Not only are they ugly, but they can be noisy too. I think Omaha should look into alternative energy for the whole community. It should not be each individuals' job to create alternative forms of energy.

I understand that there may be some issues with the amount of noise a wind turbine can create, but I personally think I could handle looking at a piece of machinery if I knew the benefits it was providing. Also, I think it would be cool if those turbines could be painted or made into works of art in an effort to disguise their apparent atrocities.
