Old and Current Wind Turbine Maps

Now look at the added locations below. What will the map look like in another year?

* Rumor has it that the ridges from the Syracuse area to Homer are now being discussed, but not made public yet.

If you know of any towns that have been approached and aren't on the list,please drop us a line and we'll add them.
Erie County shoreline also being considered for wind development:
Tonawanda and Hamburg recently approached from http://www.erie.gov/environment/compliance/energy.asp
Shoreline Wind Energy Study and Development
"Erie County, with the assistance of the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and the Department of Energy (DOE), has conducted a yearlong wind characterization study, the first of its kind, along the urban shoreline of Lake Erie. The study quantifies Erie County's wind power regime at 5 shoreline locations from Tonawanda to Blasdell. The collected data, along with relevant environmental and permitting issues specific to the test sites, is now available to wind developers, municipalities, and the public.
