EDIT: Copied from original post by 1fish2fish (Important Wind Turbine Information) All, I received this email from a concrened friend who has been following the wind turbine project since the beginning. This is in reference to the Wayne county vote this evening at the Lyons County Courthouse for wind turbine project off Wayne county. Your input would be appriciated. 'Dear Friends, As many of you know – we are strongly opposed to offshore wind turbines proposed in Lake Ontario and Lake Erie that are being promoted by the New York Power Authority. (NYPA) NYPA has designated the area right off our property as a potential turbine site. On Weds. evening, March 31st - the Wayne County Board of Supervisors is having a public hearing at a special meeting in the county court house in Lyons, NY about this issue, taking public comments and we will be speaking against the Great Lakes Offshore Wind (GLOW) project at that meeting. Wayne County is accepting email comments on this issue from the public prior to this important meeting and we are asking if you would send an email to the Wayne County Board of Supervisors requesting that they not support NYPA and oppose the wind turbines in Lake Ontario and Lake Erie. The Board will then vote to support or oppose this project based on the comment it receives. Please email a sentence or two and send to: [email protected] Some reasons for opposing this project are: -Permanent loss of view shed -Tremendous loss of property value and marketability -Light trespassing or loss of darkness over the lakes from turbine blinking lights -Nuisance of shuttering -Nuisance of reflecting sunlight -Nuisance of turbine noise plus it’s a known health hazard -Negative implications for boaters and fishermen – their travel will be restricted in the areas were turbines are located -Negative impact on tourism -Avian and bat carnage that is certain to occur -Winter ice will destroy the turbine structures. This project has never been attempted anywhere in freshwater in the world – we would be the guinea pigs in this expensive experiment -Turbines will cause electromagnetic interference affecting TV, aircraft and boating communication ' THANKS, Jim

WHAT THE H3LL ARE THEY THINKING????? Something smells worse than the pollutants they are allowed to dump into OUR lake. Somebody ought to take a look at their personal finances and see how much they've gone up. I just can't believe this is going to be allowed.
