Lake Erie wind mills, Again!

The only people that make out are the companys that build them. They get federal money & grants. It takes 20 yrs. to get money back due to the building & maint. costs. We did alot of work with them out in Sheldon area when they were being built. I say put them on land but keep them out of the lakes.

More structure - Good
Turning Blades - Bad - kills seagulls
Limits access around them - Bad
Electromagnetic fields - Bad
Rich companies that get richer - Bad
We don't benefit - Bad

There is more Bad then good. No way to agree to these. Keep them out!

Now I know this is deep thinking but why not build a wind farm on the Vacant steel plant property wonder why our powers to be didn't think of this Maybe not enough money would be extracted from the Tax payers doing something smart.

Wow if they did that there would be no controversy , then we would not need politicians great idea

They did build some there. They are BIG ones.
Are you saying build more there?

The politicians already have plans for the old st.plant site, condos & marina so they get their kick backs. & we get screwed out of lake access again. Chopper, we always need politicians for some reason , I think ??

I am, better there on land than in the water, less environmental impact. I am for renewable energy sources, just not in our lake. IMO
