Leases allowing oil exploration on public land is destroying the natural beauty of our state. So lets build wind turbines and string them across the skyline. They're beautiful, right?

They’re hideous. VT’s been putting them up and it completely ruins the landscape for miles and miles.

No one who appreciates nature is in favor of wind turbines, at least on mountains where they keep putting them.

They're all over Texas. Except they are better to look at than the flat farmland at times. My state has a beautiful skyline, politicians want to kill the oil industry here AND ruin the view. It's green new deal thing.

I've seen them across sprawling fields in Spain, and they looked fine there. But along mountainsides it's awful. It's taking the most beautiful natural landscape feature you can have, and defiling it.

The plains of Texas are lousy with wind turbines producing expensive energy, until last week!
