Re: Windmills on Ice Mountain - Gamesa Wind Turbines

Has anyone else noticed a lack of information about the truck driver who lost his brakes coming down off the mountain and was killed? What I have been told is that it was his first day driving one of the water trucks for GAMESA hauling water off the mountain. And I'm curious about the lack of any pi...

Re: Windmills on Ice Mountain - Gamesa Wind Turbines

RedhairNFreckles , I too hope that NC doesn't buy into the windmill fallacy. I have made several trips down the Blue Ridge Parkway. I think it is one of the most beautiful areas in the country, and it would be a shame if they would build a windplant and blight the view (which is the main reasons for...

Re: Windmills on Ice Mountain - Gamesa Wind Turbines

Someone needs to tell these people that Iberdrola and Gamesa are both owned by the same company in Spain.

Re: Windmills on Ice Mountain - Gamesa Wind Turbines

Here's some food for thought... 31% of the electricity currently generated in PA is sold to neighboring states. If we produce that much excess electricity above what is needed for the citizens of PA, why don't we shut down the equivalent in coal-fired plants, and let the other states pick up the sla...

Re: Windmills on Ice Mountain - Gamesa Wind Turbines

I am continually amazed at the number of well-meaning people out there that accept the propaganda coming from the wind companies that imply that the only way to "save the planet" and reduce CO2 emissions is to agree to deforest the tops of our ridges and erect huge towers to produce sporat...

Re: Windmills on Ice Mountain - Gamesa Wind Turbines

I have been doing research and found out a few interesting facts: Gamesa only warranties for TWO years after they build the windfarm and run the initial startup tests. It is Gamesa's practice to list the windfarm as asset for sale as soon as it is built and tested. The average lifetime of a windmill...

Re: Windmills on Ice Mountain - Gamesa Wind Turbines

I agree...we need to clean house in the Boro. We have a chance to make our displeasure known on voting day, and we should exercise our right to have people on Council that actually want to do something for this town, and not just use the position to follow their own personal agendas. And when the ne...

Re: Windmills on Ice Mountain - Gamesa Wind Turbines

Thank goodness I looked in here before calling it quits for the night, or I would not have known about this meeting Wednesday. They must not want very many people there, 'cause there are a lot of us out here that DON'T get the paper, and otherwise would never have known about it. Everyone....tell yo...

My2Cents, you have some serious talent going on there. Maybe you should go on "Idol", and let the rest of the country know our plight.?

Re: Windmills on Ice Mountain - Gamesa Wind Turbines

There are 3,348 registered voters in the Tyrone Boro. A lot of them are Independents who cannot vote in a primary, and a lot were Republicans who didn't see the need to in a Democratic primary, considering that their candidate was already decided. The high school kids who were set up outside the pol...

Re: Windmills on Ice Mountain - Gamesa Wind Turbines

I'm confused on the protocol about when we have to change the name of the football team from Tyrone Golden Eagles to the Tyrone Golden Windmills...is it before or after they start tearing the mountain apart?
