To our elected officials in the Senate and Assembly of the State of New York,
Please be aware that I support the Alesi bill S4068 in the strongest possible manner. It is imperative that we take time to think this situation over before a blight of industrial turbines defaces the most beautiful natural landscapes in our state. These projects are being proposed and implemented at a prodigious pace and is important that we take time NOW to consider whether turbines on all the hilltops of New York is an outcome we want to support. If we do not, then such an outcome is a fait accompli.*
