The brother I've spoken about before, the one that went from local church elder to Native American shaman, lives off the grid, powered by wind.
He told me he'd help me build a wind generator. But upon looking at the map of wind friendly locations, I found it wouldn't work here.

My brother tried to put up a windmill. He is in a fairly high wind area. We were looking at the wind charts. He wanted to get off the grid too.
He ran into endless regulations. He needed a larger yard than two acres, because he had to have a fall zone which matched the height of the windmill and vanes -- very prohibitive.
Why don't the same fall zones exist for cell towers and high tension lines?
