gemfyre> - how much land would need to be cleared to accommodate the turbine towers?
Does anyone know why wind towers can't be placed on already cleared farmland? Are they too much of a hindrance to harvesters or do they scare cows or something? I imagine some farmers would be overjoyed to recieve the rent paid to them to place a few wind turbines on their properties. At least that would solve the problem of having to clear land.

I think alot of the time turbines are situated right on the coast so as to catch the best winds...having turbines on farm land (which is generally more inland) may no be as effective...??...thats the only reason i can think of.
