All a matter of opinion. Where should they put them then?? Obviously somewhere where you will not have to see them. What about the person that lives where you think they should go? Don't get me wrong, I don't want them in any of the lakes either, but they are more than likely going somewhere. Good luck stopping it. I don't know about the buffer zone on them. Where that came from or who, if anybody ever said it, we regularly use them for "cover" while hunting. There isn't one around here that you can't drive up to and touch if you want. Don't see why it would be any different on the water, but its possible. To be perfectly honest why they would want to put them over there is beyond me. The wind needed to run them just isn't there. http://www.windpoweringamerica.gov/images/windmaps/us_windmap_80meters_820w.jpg Edit: As I said before, I am absolutely opposed to them in the lakes also. Don't misread that.
