Just wanted to put in an article about the continued postive impact that these windfarms have had to our community. http://www.pressrepublican.com/homepage/local_story_315215653.html And this project was accomplished without use of local tax dollars.

Here's an interesting buyout option coming to the turbine landowners. http://www.pressrepublican.com/archivesearch/local_story_257225219.html

Was wondering if anyone had a view on which way to go?

Personally, I think with the quarterly payments are something to stick with on two fronts:
a)The hidden carbon tax that Obama's admin will enact will create pass thru charges to electricity customers will drive up the electricity rates even in the short term. I think we all know now that wind turbines are a carbon free source of electricity. As the carbon tax won't be applied to this source, it would seem that the revenue from these will potentially increase as the rate charged to consumers increases due to this tax. So what is good should get better.

North Country public radio has quite a nice archive of wind related news and stories. Here is a interesting link about one:

The story: Vestas (the largest manufacturer of turbines world-wide) announces a plan to close a plant on the Isle of Wight as part of their plan to cut 1900 jobs, or 9% of their workforce. Workers protest by staging a sit-in. Vestas wins court order to have them removed.

Any opinions regarding the job opportunities that a plant like this might bring to Massena? http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/13758/wind-turbine-maker-eyes-shuttered-gm-plant-in-massena

I found this interesting article. Thought it would be of interest. Its a blog by some called sanityinjection... I think there might also be a parallel to the DEIS response by Dr P. Here goes:
