Reply to Mark Stash's Life in the Finger Lakes article by Charlie Kota

Mark,

I can't believe that you, an intelligent person can really believe in these industrial wind turbines.If you think $600 toilet seats and hammers were a rape of our taxpayer dollars, hang onto your butt. When you find out how much of the taxpayer's hard earned money has been funneled out of country, you will be appalled.

These turbines have been in Europe for twenty years with no impact on reducing fossil fuel energy plants. Many are not operating and obsolete. Even when they are not operating they are continually using electricity. Where do you think it comes from ? From a fossil fuel energy plant of course.

This state has invested millions upon millions of dollars into the Finger Lakes region to promote the wine industry and tourism. There is only one Finger Lakes in the world. When it is ruined by wind turbine farms it is gone forever. People come to the Finger Lakes to tour the wine country, enjoy the beautiful lake and see the fall foliage.

Do you really believe people will come here to see these 500 foot monsters perched all over our beautiful hills ? You, of all people should be able to see through this smoke screen called industrial wind turbines equals green power. It is all about greed equals money, pure and simple.
