Thanks Ice Man for posting the informative article from the Asheville Citizen Times. I've been hearing whispers of Wind Energy for a couple of years here in Franklin and other Western North Carolina towns. I fear it's coming, sooner or later. Especially since our present Administration thinks it's ...

Huge industrial windmills on ridge tops a bad idea August 27, 2009 by David Gantt in Citizen-Times We are blessed in Western N.C. with breathtaking views of layer upon layer of Appalachian ridge tops.

Hi folks, Excellent article with quotes by scientists on the wind “gold rush”. Note that wind is an example of energy sprawl. I put some of the article to red, to highlight scientists’ comments.

Wind technology is a lot of dumb and ugly in service to ignorance and greed. Because it produces no capacity value, is inimical to demand cycles, and provides only early nineteenth century power productivity (in the process destabilizing the match between supply and demand and making everything and ...

Until recently, clean energy didn't noticeably affect rates because it accounts for just 3% of U.S. power generation. That's changing as utilities scramble to meet state quotas, says Standard & Poor's analyst Anne Selting. Among rate increases: • In Arizona, Tucson Electric Power has raised rate...

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. I no longer live in Tyrone or the surrounding area so my opinion doesn't apply. http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s139/sandstone1/...

SIX TURBINE LOCATIONS WERE DEEMED AS HAZARDOUS TO AIRCRAFT AT ANY HEIGHT !! The six turbines in the very southwest portion of the project, turbines SR-S1 - SR-S6 were all denied by the FAA as of July 30, 2009. That's all the turbines on Slide Mt. I'd say that this, combined with the news about the ...

Hi folks, I just checked the FAA website, to get details on the Sandy Ridge project. Gamesa has applied for 28 turbines. I was surprised to see that each turbine is listed as 475 feet tall. Each turbine's lat and long are listed, and there is a small topo map for each turbine location. The FAA has n...
