Have You Noticed?
Have the readers of this very interesting site, noticed that those who are pro wind turbines USUALLY are benefitting financially from siting on their property OR they WORK for the developers? Just read the local paper (Daily News). It appears those who are for the metal monstrosities are looking for a full wallet, not to whether they actually do what is promised. Why is it the information off the MET TOWERS is not available to the Public?

UPC opens office in Attica
UPC Wind Management will be opening a location July 29 at 18 Market St in Attica, said Development Manager Helen Maxon Thomas.
"The reason for the office is UPC Wind Management is a company that very much believes in working with the local community and wants to establish a local presence as soon as we can," she said.

The Wayward Wind (Speech by Jon Boone)
INTRODUCTION
The United States east of the Mississippi River has about five percent of the nation's onshore wind potential. If industrial wind developers achieve their goals, the region will be saturated with approximately 300,000 wind turbines spread over millions of acres. New York, with .3 of one percent of the nation's onshore wind, could be saturated with
about 20,000-400 foot tall machines, spread over more than a thousand miles of terrain.
