Re: Windmills on Ice Mountain - Gamesa Wind Turbines
Is there any satilite photos sites that show any of the turbine sites. I have checked Google Earth but imagery seems to be too old. I am not taking sides on the issue.

Re: Windmills on Ice Mountain - Gamesa Wind Turbines
Sandstone was referring only to the # of turbines on Borough of Tyrone property. He's right. It would be 10 on Borough land. 12 other turbines would be on land owned by private clubs (Alleghany Hunting Club) and private individuals.My2Cents wrote:9 or 10 turbines could never equal a functioning wind farm.

It appears that Gamesa has applied for only 25 turbines to be approved through the FAA, not 28. Why the discrepancy? I have been watching the numbers from the...

Re: Windmills on Ice Mountain - Gamesa Wind Turbines
Thanks, sandstone, for the update. I wrote my letter to DEP last week requesting a public hearing regarding the Sandy Ridge Wind LLC (Gamesa) NPDES application.

Re: Windmills on Ice Mountain - Gamesa Wind Turbines
”The current rush for large scale onshore wind developments, connected by a hugely centralized grid system shows a poverty of imagination and thinking rooted in the early 20th Century. If attention continues to be focused on increasing renewable energy targets, without any requirement to demonstrat...
