This is not true. Unfortunately, people who speak out against wind are labeled heretics.

Wind towers are threatening our most sensitive and historic ridgelines - for no gain. Wind towers simply do not produce electricity on a scale to justify commercial plants.

The winners are the Warren Buffets and the like who take advantage of the tax avoidance policies surrounding wind. Do not be fooled by the "feel-good" nature of wind. This is one case where the behind the scene story is bad for the general people.

Why not build a row of them down the middle of Lake Erie? It is a zone 7 wind area and they would not be seen from the shore (I live on the shores of Erie).

I'm ordinarily against wind power, but this is a case of liberals being hoist by their own petard.

The only damage a wind tower actually does is aesthetic, and in this case, the people with their views blighted are almost exclusively rich liberals who claim wind power is a good thing.

Let them pay the price for foisting this crap on the rest of us.

I agree with you. Here in Louisiana there is a company that wants to put windmills along our coast and FORCE the electric companies to purchase that high priced energy.

I say, make it on your own or not at all.
