Whoever makes the decision to drag the wind generator components down two lane highways should be strapped to one of the blades as soon as it's operational.

Ha. I've dealt with this numerous times in Texas on Hwy 183.

I have not been stuck behind one of those but was heading the opposite direction on a 70 mile, two lane POS road in NM. Miles of cars were gridlocked behind a blade crawling at the speed of snail. I spent a considerable amount of time watching for drivers deciding whether or not to pass and looking for a bail out zones just in case they did. An extremely dangerous decision on the part of the transport company. I assume transport company was not aware of a widely used concept called "a map". The destination was not far from IH 40 which parallels the two lane road.

Also,

Those damn things are ruining the view of the surrounding mountains.

Down here in the Coastal Bend we have a massive wind farm in Portland, TX right outside of Corpus. You can see it for miles considering how flat we are along the coast. It's at least one of the few places on earth where they actually make sense.

Wind generators are proliferating in the Texas Panhandle and have been for quite a while.

It was windy enough already.
