I am a Florida Science Educator and drove to Chicago this summer. It was great to see the wind turbines in action because I always talk about this as an alternative source of energy in my class.

As my family and I travelled back from a funeral in Chicago, IL over the weekend we had seen the red lights on the way up and I had told my brother they were probably windmills. On the drive home during the daylight hours we were amazed to see them for miles and miles. Indiana is taking a lead role in this source of energy, “hats off” to their leaders, Kentucky would do well to take this same type of initiative. Thanks for taking care of our environment for generations yet to be born.

We travelled over I-65 in Indiana five times in the last year from the East Coast to Illinois. The wind farms are beautiful – almost hypnotic! Ecotourism at its best – my kids were begging to go for a visit to one of the turbines. Sounds like a small business opprtunity waiting to happen……..

Pretty impressive sight and of course good for the environment, but could definitely be a distraction to drivers. As I drove down I-65, I thought I was in an episode of the X-Files. It’s a sight we have to get accustomed to.

What a surprise to see the field of towers rising above the fields last Tuesday as we drove I-65 from Indy to Lake County! Just a week before, someone had mentioned the turbines, and then to see our state taking a lead in renewable energy was exciting.

My husband and I were driving back from Chicago (we live in Florida)after Christmas and saw the turbines (windmills). What an impressive sight!! We have done a great deal of travel throughout Europe; and, turbines are a very common sight. It is about time our country makes more use of our natural resources. I wonder how many Americans driving along the expressway next to us even realized what they were looking at…… Thank you.
