I remember having this discussion before on another thread.

I kind of like the idea of windmills. It would make a hike more interesting. There are already a bunch of powerlines that are less photogenic.

Of course, windmills are better than coal plants or nuclear power plants or even dams.

We need electricity all the time so you need windmills on both ends of the gorge and other places because the wind blows at different times at different places.

Hopefully, over time, we would figure out how to mitigate problems such as killing birds.
