the high central plain in spain has lots of relatively empty central otago/ desert road type land. when tour buses turn the corner and are suddenly faced with a horizon full of wind turbines, they all screech to a stop and the tourists leap out with cameras.

and not just japanese ones. scamper thought it was the most spectacular sight we'd seen for hours. they had grace, beauty, and mystery ... no doubt helped along by thoughts of don quixote and sancho.

there didn't seem to be any farmhouses (or castles) within cooee, and the spanish locals were very proud of their non-polluting windmills.

i'd be prepared to pay more for wind and photovoltaic energy. cheers.
