wind

Can you imagine living in beautiful Big Sky country of Eastern Montana and then having a massive wind farm with towers taller than the towers of downtown Billings in your backyard?

Holden spoke out about what he describes as "an industrial wind turbine complex containing 70 turbines" that "are planned to be constructed on the hills above Glendive. Each tower will be 575 feet tall or the size of the Seattle Space Needle."

Strong winds are being predicted across Southern Montana Sunday- from Livingston through Billings and down into Wyoming. Harlow residents are even being warned about the wind.

Our first big winter blast will drop into south central Montana this week, with some models showing temps dropping to -21 by the weekend.

The I-90 corridor east of Bozeman, including the Bozeman Pass, Livingston, Big Timber, and the Beartooth Foothills will see wind gusts up to 60 MPH through at least Friday morning.

Another round of very cold temps, snow and gusty wind is invading Montana through Wednesday morning. The valleys are only supposed to get a few inches of snow out of the deal, but travel may still become sketchy during this advisory.

There is a reason we call is Rare Earth Minerals.

But not nearly enough.

Wind turbines are not providing heat, they are taking it.
