It was with sad eyes that I read the business page of the Democrat and Chronicle Wednesday morning. Iberdrola SA will complete the sale with Energy East Corp., the parent of RG&E and New York State Electric and Gas, in early 2008, sooner than expected. So, in addition to paying big bucks at the pump for oil-producing evildoers, now we can anticipate paying much more for electric power to Spain ... when they complete the building of their "cheap" wind turbines, that is. We will "pay" in many ways: in the loss of our beautiful scenic vistas, in our decreased bird populations and wildlife, in the loss of personal property that is usurped, and the sadness of many property owners, along with another pinch in the wallet.
So, as more money leaves our state and country, what comes in? Besides wind turbines, I mean.
Just who is in charge in New York state?
