Most if not all of the power from this wind farm was to leave the state while one radio host stated that NW ND was needing more electric power. Over 1/2 of the wind generated power in ND leaves the state. The Game and Fish put in writing to the tower company they picked the WORST place for wildlife in the state for this wind farm.I have a solution for several problems and if I had the money I would start this. There have been self contained generators placed on well locations to generate electricity and sell the extra to the electric companies for years.  Installing this type of system would help with the flaring, provide electricity and not use tax dollars to subsidize an industry that gets shoved out here because the eventual consumers of the electricity do not want them in their backyards. A self contained generator system will not make a large impact on the surrounding location eliminate the need for miles and miles of pipeline or building new gas plants and in most cases will fit right in on the tank or well pad.The ones I have seen were hauled to and from the locations via a roll off truck.</blockquote>
