WindMills Robstown??

[esanchez]

Is anyone here familiar with the Windmills that are located between Robstown and Corpus??? As I was driving to Houston on the interchange of 77 and I37 to the left hand side you can see a whole bunch of Windmills. I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to get to them to photograph...

New windmills are going up all over TX... and the rest of the country too. Its great that even though these machines are not producing that much electricity, they are doing something. No pollution, no oil drilling, little enviromental impact while quickly increasing our country's electric output. We look at dutch windmills with a quaint romantic vision of the past, I doubt that in there day there was little concern for that romance. Today some think the modern windmill is spoiling the view, yrs down the road we may admire them as much as the old dutch ones are today.

spoiling the view - vs. - imported oil.

I'll take the first over the second any day.

You might try asking Aerotek Energy Services if they could help you. They do wind farm work around Corpus Christi (and nationwide).

FWIW, we import only 40% of the oil we use, and Canada is the single biggest contributor.

Yeah, I've shot windmills all over Texas, but not around Corpus Christ (because, I haven't gone around CC since the windmills went up, I guess). I even posed in front of some, as witnessed in The Human Form.

Birds killed for energy vs. leaving the unsolved waste problem to our kids.
I'll still take the first, but be smarter about it.

IMHO :)

We've long solved the waste problem. Your kids going to be around in a million years?

As for the blood for oil, where is the oil? Have you ask about more offshore, drilling on government land and oil tars and shale production rather than troops. Nor, is Afghanistan know for it's massive oil production.
