Does anyone else find it interesting how people favor different ideas until in directly effects them? Its called NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard). Everyone wants cleaner greaner energy but nobody wants to see the wind mills. You cannot have it both ways. If a 180 days is not enough time to educate and take feedback there will never be a decision made. You will never make everyone happy. Sometimes the tough decisions have to be made. I for one am tired of hearing the back and forth on this issue. Build it or not... Make up your minds.

Well Mr/Ms Ofreason, if you feel that strongly offer your backyard!
A certain Senator was an advocate for windmills once upon a time. Until someone tried to put a farm in the ocean off of his Seashore home and in an area he liked to sail in! He had a fit and managed to stop it!

If it was something I supported then I would definitly let them build. It just seems that people preach to others the benefits of such ideas as wind farms but they don't to have the farms in their areas. Its a lot like our current govt. If the Al Gores of the world started parcticing what he is preaching then maybe more people will listen. Until he bikes to work and lives in a hut like he wants us to do I will call him and others like him a hippocrit. KevinB, it sounds like you do not want the generators by your house. That is fine unless you are a big supporter of wind energy. If you think we all need to go green and wind is one way to go then you better open up to construction. Why should others who don't believe in it have to deal with the issue. If you do not support the wind energy plan then I fully support your efforts. My point is that we cannot get what benfits us by putting others in a bad position.
