Electric Windmills Are Everywhere

As I drive around the Central part of Texas each day, I am noticing more and more windmills popping up around the country side. These new windmills are not for pumping water like has been the norm in Texas for a hundred years, but these new windmills are generating power at thousands of homes and in the process saving money every month for the homeowner on electric bills and also helping to reduce carbon in the atmosphere of the Earth.

From my point of view, it makes perfect sense to see homeowners in the State of Texas using windmill power to help bring electricity to their homes. The Loan Star State has used windmill power for years to bring underground water to holding tanks where cattle could be watered statewide. Thus, it's not that big of a change for Texans to switch the primary use of windmill power from water to electricity.

I know in many areas of the country, windmill power is being resisted because of cosmetic reasons. I too understand that having a windmill in the backyard of every American home would be an eyesore for many, but I believe that eyesore could be turned into a status symbol in no time flat with the proper PR job from city state and federal government officials. It's a brand new world and new and cleaner ways of producing energy need to be used to not only help reduce our carbon footprint, but also on a more practical basis - help families save money on their monthly electric bill.
