Not Texas Oil - Texas Wind

We saw thousands of these wind machines in Texas - No exaggeration - thousands - 7,772 according to the state of Texas statistics.  The majority of them are located close to Sweetwater TX - which was in the middle of our route to Abilene.

They aren't the prettiest - but the area around it is so boring and flat anyway that they add interest to the scenery. The land is doing double duty because the area around them is being farmed. When compared to other forms of generating electricity - this one wins or winds.
