Prairie Wind

You know what's really smart? Harnessing wind power to make energy. The plains of eastern Colorado is a great place for it since there's plenty of wind and open land out here. These high tech wind turbines are an increasingly common sight in areas like this. They provide zero carbon energy and I've heard that there have been some innovations to protect birds from getting smacked by the turning blades. Good for everyone.

Our late afternoon drive through the Pawnee National Grassland and into western Nebraska was scenic and special.
