The beauty of windmills is, unfortunately, in the eye of the beholder. I like looking at them, because they represent decreased dependency on oil and I guess I must like watching whirly things. However, I'm not sure I'd like my neighbor to have one if I could hear the constant noise. The article in today's (9/29) LDS projects the out-of-pocket expense will be under $15K (after rebates) and it will bring in $100-$150/month. Projections rarely work out like planned, but the most optimistic calculation says it will break-even in under 8 years. My guess would be double that. The case in Belknap seems well planned, but it needs variances from the town. Good luck! I hope the project is approved.
