These turbines have been there for five years and are most certainly not new construction. The roads have not been fixed and it is not the county's responsibility to do so. The company that erected the turbines is supposed to maintain the roads per agreement. I really haven't knocked them and they really don't bother me that much. I'm merely stating the facts for the county in which I own land. Firebreak? What firebreak? Not everyone's life revolves around money. We work hard to maintain habitat for deer and quail so the turbines were of no interest for us.
What roads are you talking about that need to be fixed? Sorry, but there is no way in hell that the turbine company is going to be maintaining public county roads, not Dallas, Collin, or Grayson Counties (Preston Trail corridor), and they aren't going to be maintaining state or federal roads, LOL. If you are complaining about the ranch roads, I am sure they are maintaining their sufficiently for access by their equipment, which is what most of the companies do, unless specific building guidelines are stipulated in the contract. If somebody didn't do a better job of negotiating the contract so that the roads are maintained to their liking on their land, that is on them. If they are not happy with the contracted maintenance, chances are the lease has stipulated resolution practices and if not, then said folks should be in court. Due diligence works on both sides of a contract.
Firebreak? Well, on your side of the fence is a bunch of scrub that isn't on his side of the fence. At least here (90 minutes west of you), the turbine companies maintain an easement between towers (if multiple on property) if the land isn't being cultivated or grazed.
No, not everybody's lives revolve around money, but what you keep ignoring is that money is a huge factor in people allowing these on THEIR property. That is a big perk. No doubt your neighbor didn't offer to pay to have them installed in his/her property because he thought they were pretty. No. He is doing it for the $$ and it looks like your neighbor is doing quite well.
You chose against it. Your neighbor didn't. You seem terribly unhappy about his/her decision.
