Dear Editor,
GRANDPA'S KNOB AND THE PITTSFORD RIDGELINE WILL BE DESTROYED
FOREVER IF REUNION POWER IS PERMITTED TO FURTHER INFILTRATE OUR
BEAUTIFUL STATE AND BUILD WIND TURBINES.
WIND POWER IS ONE OF THE MOST DESTRUCTIVE METHODS USED TO ELICIT A
DISPROPORTIONATELY SMALL AND UNRELIABLE AMOUNT OF ELECTRIC POWER,
BUT WITH A MASSIVE PAYOFF TO THE WEALTHY FINANCIERS.
THE FLAWED "TECHNOLOGY" INVOLVED WITH WIND POWER IS DEVASTATING TO
OUR ENVIRONMENT-FAUNA, FLORA, AND WATER SYSTEMS WILL BE
ADVERSELY IMPACTED, PLUS THE HORRENDOUS EFFECTS TO HUMAN BEINGS IN
GENERAL.
APPROXIMATELY 1,000,000 POUNDS OF EXPLOSIVES AND MASSIVE EQUIPMENT
WILL LEAVE THE RIDGELINE OF THE MOUNTAIN RANGE IN THE MOST
UNSIGHTLY CONDITION ONE CAN IMAGINE. THE LEMPSTER NEW
HAMPSHIRE WIND TOWER PROJECT RECENTLY COMPLETED, HAS
NEIGHBORING RESIDENTS DESERTING THEIR PROPERTIES-WITH NO PROSPECT
OF EVER RECOVERING THEIR PROPERTY VALUES. TO HEAR THE SOUND
OF THESE TURBINES, GO TO: "LEMPSTER, NH WIND TURBINES, ONLY
WIND-YOUTUBE"
THINK OF OUR MOUNTAIN RANGE WITH A 20-PLUS MILE AREA OF "NO HUNTING
OR TRESPASSING" ZONES ALONG THE PERIMETER OF THE PROJECT. THE
CONSTANT NOISE FROM 180-MILE PER HOUR BLADES WILL DISTURB YOU AND
YOUR ANIMALS FOR A LONG DISTANCE EITHER SIDE OF THE WIND
TURBINES. THE "FLICKER-EFFECT" PRODUCED BY THE SPINNING BLADES
AND THE SUN WILL MAKE YOU DIZZY.
ALTHOUGH ERIC SORENSON, an ecologiest from the VERMONT AGENCY OF
NATURAL RESOURCES, hAS STATED THAT THERE ARE "SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS
WITH THE PROJECT AND THAT THIS MAY NOT BE AN APPROPRIATE SITE FOR
WIND DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE OF NATURAL COMMUNITY AND HABITAT
FRAGMENTATION ISSUES," THE FINANCIERS CONTINUE "BEHIND THE
SCENES" TO IMPLEMENT PLANS THAT WILL DECIMATE OUR BEAUTIFUL
MOUNTAIN RANGE.
THE FINANCIERS HAVE SCHEDULED A PRESENTATION AT THE WEST RUTLAND
TOWN HALL ON MONDAY, MAY 14 AT 6 P.M. THIS IS OPEN TO THE
PUBLIC!
