1 " Wind is renewable. Turbines are not. "
― Ozzie Zehner , Green Illusions
2 " We are in the process of finding out what filling billions of acres with huge wind turbines does to the global environment. "
― Steven Magee
3 " And then the turbines generate electricity that goes into the whole town." " You mean they aren't powered by giant hamsters on wheels? I was misinformed. "
4 " Vibrations caused by powerful turbines stirred Kathy from a dream centered around a funeral. Her eyes flicked open, face dry, and she had no idea where she was. In her dream, she saw crystalline silver spiders again, weaving their way through the graveyard, leaving trails of silver webs over corpses, binding them for some unknown purpose in the cold dark earth. "
5 " Granny Weatherwax was often angry. She considered it one of her strong points. Genuine anger was one of the world's greatest creative forces. But you had to learn how to control it. That didn't mean you let it trickle away. It meant you dammed it, carefully, let it develop a working head, let it drown whole valleys of the mind and then, just when the whole structure was about to collapse, opened a tiny pipeline at the base and let the iron-hard stream of wrath power the turbines of revenge. "
― Terry Pratchett , Wyrd Sisters (Discworld, #6; Witches #2)
