We're not sure folks really understand what we're talking about here. These towers are supposed to be around 400 feet in height. Watterson Towers on the ISU campus in Normal is only 300 feet and can be seen for miles and miles. This "wind farm" is going to be the equivalent of EIGHTY Watterson Towers!
The developers talk about "landscaping" to minimize the visual impact. Can you imagine trying to landscape so you couldn't see Watterson Towers from a mile away? Fortunately, Watterson isn't spinning around.
Our intention is to get up there to the proposed site, take a few pictures, and then digitally superimpose the style of towers suggested at scale. We will publish those altered pictures here to give an indication of size relative to the landscape up there.

Some one should put in Ducted Fan Turbines in between those openings from the elevator shafts and walk ways.
Has any one done the calculations on how ducted fan turbines compare with the current wind farms?
