Like most readers, I am not an expert in renewable energy. I am,
however, working very hard to get informed with a specific bias towards
what seems to make sense for our Valley in particular and Vermont in
general. There does seem to be a disconnect within the wind industry
about the real environmental impacts of these developments and the
health problems real people are experiencing when sited within a couple
of miles of the larger turbines.
The same day I received your open letter there was a front page article in the New York Times about the problems people sited too close to the three big turbines in
Vinalhaven, Maine, are experiencing. Articles like this are popping up
in media outlets all over the country where people live close to big
turbines. Clearly something is going on! I'd like our Valley to avoid
these problems and choose renewable energy sources we can all live with.
