First of all, they are NOT windmills. They are WIND ENERGY CONVERSION SYSTEMS!!!!!!! a/k/a W.E.C.S.!!!! Second of all, are you by any chance a beneficiary of one or more of these "W.E.C.S" on your hardscrabble property???? (and yes, i am a farmer, who would not allow a corporation to ursurp my property rights with a phony, self-serving contract).
In our area, the only people who speak FOR wind TURBINES are those who will be getting MONEY to site them on their property. If they are SO GREAT, then why cannot the corporations give that very important information to the public---i.e. how much usuable electricity is put on the grid, by day, by week, by month, by these great machines??? Yet, you expect property owners to buy into very little information, given out by corporation representatives, so that the corporations can make a major profit, and mess up our landscape, so that you can pat youself on the back that you have saved the world!!!
I have been told by my own state senator that she cannot get that information. also, the state public service commission cannot get that information (it is considered CONFIDENTIAL by the corporations). If YOU can PROVE to me as a consumer, that the turbines will benefit my town and the U.S. economically, i will buy your argument. But the feeble balogny that they reduce the dependence on foreign oil, where are YOUR figures--barrel for barrel, turbine for turbine. AND please do not quote me the hogwash that each turbine will produce enough energy to light 300-or-500-or-600 homes---that dog doesn't track!!! That home will be "energized" intermittently, as that is the way of the TURBINES. Are you are willing to wait for your neighbor to finish toasting his bread, so that you can read your mail with a 60 watt bulb??!!!!! Come on, are you up for the challenge??? Give me FACTS!!!!!!!!
