I am told the Pennysaver and E-Bay are currently advertising
Tug Hill area homes for sale at disastrously low prices. I see why.
Oh, by the way, Maple Ridge Windfarm is installing something on the order
of 160 of these monsters in this, Phase I. Phase II will add a few hundredmore,
and so on. For those of you who are not familiar with the North Country
of New York State, I live to the east of this Tug Hill site -- maybe 200
miles east. Maybe 150 miles east. My region is slated for 551 of these
monsters, within a 40 mile stretch (Brandon, NY to Altona, NY).
The wind salesmen assure us these are beautiful, wonderful, soundless,
have no negative impact on property values (in fact, might even raise
them), will contribute all sorts of revenues to local coffers (taxes,
PILOT money, etc.
etc.), create numerous jobs. Etc. The wind salesmen think we should build
a Visitor Center so tourists can come gawk at this freak show. Sell T-shirts,
coffee mugs. Keychains. The wind salesmen never, ever, build these in
their backyards. Never. Only my backyard.
