this seems to be more a problem with the company and contractors than with the technology..

All the false and misleading claims the wind industry makes for itself work to disguise the fact that it is only a nominal producer of electricity in the eastern US. Its primary purpose is to provide extraordinary tax and income sheltering opportunities for a few wealthy investors at the expense of average taxpayers and rate payers. On a per kilowatt hour basis, wind is the most heavily subsidized source of industrialized power in the nation.

BOVINA TOWN BOARD ENDORSES WIND TURBINE BAN — Feb 28, 2007 = In a short, dramatic meeting on February 28th, the Bovina Town Board took an important first step towards banning industrial and residential wind turbines. The four board members (Tina Mole’, Randy Inman, Chuck McIntosh and Ken Brown) all agreed to submit the town’s draft wind ordinance to the Delaware County Planning Board for review.

Yes, per kilowatt hour, wind is the highest subsidized power because of it’s small scale. Let’s look at the actual numbers. About $12,500,000,000 goes to coal, oil, gas and nuclear power, and about $5,000,000 goes to wind, water and solar. This does not take into account the subsidies oil and coal get on their own before it gets to the power plant.

The Alliance for Bovina is very pleased that the survey results show
most Bovina residents oppose commercial wind turbines in our town and
that this issue not just a “second home owner” issue. We welcome
everyone in Bovina to be a supporter of the Alliance in its fight
against commercial turbines in our area and our future efforts on other
important issues which need more community involvement.

The Bovina Town Planning Board announced its recommendations for wind turbines in Bovina. The planning board members – Chris Ingvordsen, Anne Bonne, Pat Miele and Roberta Bergin – were given a choice of four options. They could also add their own comments to their choice. Each read a statement announcing their choice along with their comments.
