Some of you know me and some do not. The issue that I am hammering on of the fire hazard from these turbines is an important one. I was a professional timber harvester and am very familiar with the need for being properly equipped to do a tough job. This is the point I am hammering on.
I have been accused of disrespect to you, but if you read any of my postings, there is not one derogatory comment on your abilities or you as people. Where is the money going to come from to properly equip you? How are you going to get from downtown Cohocton or Atlanta or neighboring Towns to the tops of these hills to stop these fires before they burn onto the neighbors?
Are there real plans to help equip you? Am I out of line here? I am without a doubt capable of mistakes, but I think I am on point with this issue. Please see my posting below about requiring the wind company to install firebreak roads.
I understand that the political current in our Town offers resistance for you to inquire about this to the Town Board, but all of you have lived on this planet long enough to know that to do what is right; one must sometimes buck the pressure that is trying to silence you. You possess the courage to enter a burning building to do what is right, please use that same courage to stand up for those of us that depend on you. Please make an assessment including the new introduction of these turbines and their effect on your needs to do your work effectively and present it to the Town Board. Time is short.
Thank you,
Robert C. Strasburg II
