Glad to share a bit of that beauty here, thanks!

Much appreciated, thanks for stoppin by.

@@brentwatts222 keep on pedalin', and see ya out there down the line!

Much appreciated, looking forward to the roads ahead!

Nice reportage... But where were all the dead birds around those windmills?! 🍊🐘 😂

@@Ey_up Certainly can be an issue along migrational paths and in geographic pinch points, however, rates of bird deaths by wind turbines is about 1/20th that of fossil fuel projects climate.mit.edu/ask-mit/do-wind-turbines-kill-birds

@@Ey_up Thanks for watchin!

@@lesgrossman3405 literally the point of wind energy is to not use fuel, so this is a moot point. though you're right that oil leaks are a possibility (an unlikely one, at that). Vs the diffuse and highly tracked fatalities that come from particulate matter from burning fossil fuels cross broad swathes of land, no thanks!

@@interpre_ted funny thing, when I was younger-I worked at a plant that produced the blades for these fans. They will never produce enough energy in their lifespan-then it cost to make them. Nice huh? Guys like you never state those facts-or that there are GIANT diesel motors on the insides of these fans. 🤣

@@lesgrossman3405 life cycle analysis states very differently. How do you feel about all other diesel engines? By your logic, I'm guessing you're anti-fossil fuel?

@@lesgrossman3405www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0301421513003856#:~:text=Wind%20power%20has%20a%20high,3). The Energy Return on Investment of wind turbines is 20:1 on average. For every unit of energy used in production and installation, 20 units of energy are harnessed. So all that work you did multiplied 20x--thanks for adding to productive energy economy, Les!

@@interpre_ted you can post whatever links youd like, it does not prove that the fans you worship, ever produce enough energy to recoup what was used to make them.

@@joshrakestraw5580 Thanks for a thoughtful addition here. You're right, that change of quality of life for the pursuit of environmentalism is a pipedream. However, the diminishing returns of increased energy use on quality of life is steep, so each unit increase of QoL comes at a much higher rate of energy use. I typically agree about natural space preservation over destruction for renewables. I don't believe it must be an either/or, however. There are cool combos of PVs and farmland called agrivoltaics which can even increase yield in some instances. Many wind farms actually allow farmers to be profitable when they otherwise would not be. Finally, cheap and available energy, a la coal, oftentimes leads to a DECREASE in community health and wellness (see the whole video), which means net decrease in prosperity.

@@Jjjbbb5678 I'll keep my eyes peeled for the miscreant gardeners, cyclists, and people who care for their neighbors.

@@interpre_ted yeah I’m sure real life works just like the kumbaya fantasy land you have in your head

Sure can be better than being defeatist and fearful of the world around you. But that's on you, amigo.

@@Just4Gordon the woes of the varied platforms--thanks for the feedback! Posting my longer form content here in landscape.

@@JakeMueller-je1vv combination of a garage hook mount on my rack, pool noodle padding, and voile straps--the opening shot here shows the setup a bit! ruclips.net/user/shortsae7lXnM7Q_c?si=nZ9f3idy_JphokVa

@@MarcToso-y5i it's a special place out there, glad this connected with ya! Happy riding!

We likely won't get to share a trip like this in person, so this is a way I can share what the day to day of this journey is like!

Thanks, amigo! Life on the bike is a good one, currently under way on a cross-country tour with more to come. Happy riding!

Right on, thanks!

My man. Good to hear from you, and same back atcha.

Next up: Zion edit!

Thanks, my man. Glad you guys have taken a liking to the videos.
