Read more in the Cumberland Times-News. One quote I found interesting, and in direct contrast to the horror stories commonly repeated in the local letters to the editor, is that of Judy Pletcher who had the following to say:
“We are very proud, as landowners, to be part of the alternative fuel resources in our country. We had a very positive experience, and hopefully we’ll see more projects like this in the area.”
I also find it very interesting that again this week there are a number of letters to the editor in the Republican about the commissioner's approval of a comprehensive plan without specific protections against wind turbines. At the same time, however, there are zero letters about potential natural gas drilling all over the county and as I understand it 5-year land leases to conduct drilling are already in place. Maybe those who are only following the local media are unaware that this is even happening while fear mongering about wind turbines continues to be the issue de jour.
