Interesting multimedia report (including the written article, video of the wind turbines and interviews with local residents, photos, and illustration showing size/scale of the blades) on the effects of and opposition to wind farms in rural California. Very informative and relevant: alternative energy projects, similar to those in this California county, have a great chance of directly affections millions across the U.S.
