Attend energy forum

As was recently pointed out by U.S. Rep. Eric Massa in a Hornell town hall meeting, wind energy has the potential to affect the lives of all who live in Western New York.

For instance, it has been estimated by some that more than 20,000 400-foot turbines could eventually be sited in New York state, likely exceeding the number of turbines in any country in the world. With New York in the center of wind energy development, it makes sense that New York citizens should have access to all of the facts regarding our governments' energy policies and not have to rely on corporate marketing or political rhetoric for such critical information.

To provide easy-to-understand scientific facts regarding our energy policies, there will be a free presentation on Wednesday, Sept. 30 at 7 p.m. at the Bath Presbyterian Church Fellowship Hall. John Droz Jr., physicist (and energy expert) with degrees from Boston College and Syracuse University will discuss our electrical energy policies from a scientific perspective.

I invite everyone interested in wind energy and its effects to attend.
