I see your point of view but I always assumed the farmers where happy with the combination as the windmill doesn't take up all that much area and they can harvest crop for their livestock more or less as they used to. But then again a windmill makes a lot of noise and that might be negative for the animals. I support your view even more when it comes to some of the windmill parks they put out on the mountains here in Norway as that area around has to totally useless for anything once they put windmills there.

I have Always been a huge fan of clean energy and I Always thought that windmills were one of those sources. But lately I start to question this.
Here in Holland people have made a lot of money by building these wind parks with subsidy ( money given to private companies by the government ) I heard that a lot of windmills are build not to produce clean electricity, but to get hold on thes subsidies....
The maintainance of windmills is a lot more complex and expensive then the maintainance of solar parks I guess.
