Why aren't the windmills running?


These two are located in Greenville, NY and haven't been running for quite a while now.  Rumors that they made too much money and that the owners are being paid to have them shut off, is what is being said about them.  Two towns over, another windmill has joined their fate.  I am aiming smaller and off the grid so maybe I won't be pushed into a non-green solution.  I keep thinking that these two mills could supply a lot of the town with free electric.... but I'm a dreamer.  I am very happy to see windmills up again.  In my younger days, most farms had windmills on them to pump their water.  Almost every child in America played with a windmill on some toy farm modeled after this.
