In Response to Nikki Perry's Post

     From articles I have read, and news broadcasts I have heard, it seems that no matter where the proposal of building wind turbines, the process is slowed because of the number of people that oppose the idea.  In my opinion, it's a great idea.  Maine put in a whole set of turbines along a mountain range a few years ago.  Originally, people also criticized the projects ugliness, and all that these energy tools would take away from the spectacular and natural Maine beauty.  Others complained it would be much too loud (even though it was miles away from any town).  In my opinion, people need to realize that fossil fuels will not be available to us forever.  We all need to make sacrifices to help the transition.  And who knows, the wind turbines may only be temporary; until experts can come up with even MORE efficient ways to capture the natural energy available to us.
