WHOA !!! Thanks Irish... These say it all too !!!
Haven't checked them all out yet. Below each picture you can click on other pictures ("previous or next.") Check 'em
all out folks !! Check out the "previous" pictures in the second link above...#20343.... this will give those of you who are not completely familiar with these things an idea on some of the things we have been trying to convey as to what is wrong with all this !!! There is 1 or 2 in there where they actually had the arrogance to haul in the nacilles (spelling) for a windfarm somewhere in Maine and a permit or permission wasn't even given yet. A typical example as to how they come in the back door, set these things up before anyone has time to question.... by the time people see what is happening.... it's too late .... they are built and those allowing it to happen fell for the money ploy.
Check out their size compared to the houses... ice build up that can be thrown for many yards..... nacilles, the size of a bus, each of which holds
200 gallons of oil... these things containing all of this oil falling to the ground... lightning strike potentials.....forest fires... ground contamination... enviromental changes in this area.... it just goes on and on. There is NOTHING good about these things being allowed on Ice Mountain !!! And this is only turbines.......there is going to be "14 miles of road needed ( 30-50 foot wide)to haul this stuff up to the ridge tops.... "9 miles of existing road and 5 miles of new road." Imagine just that.... imagine how many trees will be cut down for just a 30 to 50 foot wide road !!!! Approx one acre cut away per turbine and a 60 foot wide swath cut down from turbine to turbine..... imagine what that is going to do to the forest canopy. These things being cemented into the ground... vibrating above our watershed.... "Sandy Ridge".... hummmmm, think about it..... why would someone, hundreds of years ago call it "sandy ridge"..... certainly doesn't sound very sturdy does it !!?? Justa' thought. Rarely is it mentioned that this "farm" is
ALSO going to need substations and miles and miles of cable corridors.... rarely do you hear this part of the construction plan !!! Ah, but, this too is part of it !!! You too out there in the hollows may have a substation in your back yard if you don't pay attention on what is happening here. Some of your neighbors are not saying much at all.... why, because you have some that are going to become very rich and they are staying very quiet right now !!! If a turbine or 2 or 3 is build on someones privetly owned land..... they will will reap the benefits. They won't care about you or the watershed or anything else...they greed for the money and will care for themselves only. Now I know some of you don't care about the birds, the bees, the bats, the trees...please try to understand we (the earth) needs all of this in order to survive !!! Mother Nature takes care of us all and we take it all for granted. Example; bats... ONE BAT EATS THOUSANDS of insects per night... why is that so important.... some insects can cause many types of diseases. Without the bats and the measures in place now.... we would be overwhelmed with many insects and diseases. One tree.... take a moment and read up on what one tree does for this earth during it's lifetime.... then take that one tree and put it with the forest.... you will see why we need to save Mother Nature and all things bright and beautiful..... all creatures great and small......
