Just One Example of EverPower/Buckeye Wind LLC/Terra Firma's Mixed Messages...

From the Saturday, January 28th edition of the Urbana Daily Citizen:

Wind Clarification
Information accompanying a color map published Friday included assertions from an EverPower official that the company could not release Buckeye Wind phase 2 maps “at this time.” According to EverPower Communications Manager Daniel Lagiovane on Thursday, “It has to do with the OPSB (Ohio Power Siting Board) process. Until we make a formal submission, we can’t release any project maps.” When contacted about his statement by the Daily Citizen on Friday, OPSB media contact Matt Schilling said there is no OPSB regulation prohibiting a company such as EverPower from releasing a map showing where a proposed project would be located before or after an application.


So...is EverPower allowed to release a map of the locations for the proposed turbines or not? According to EverPower, they "can't release any project maps" due to the OPSB process. According to the OPSB? This is absolutely not true.

As a resident or landowner in Champaign County, you should have the opportunity to know the exact location of each one of the proposed nearly 500-foot machines. There are over one hundred of these massive turbines approved (on appeal) or in the application process. And one or more of these skyscrapers might be just 700-feet or so from your property line. Call your local EverPower employee (Mike Pullins 614-563-8453 or Jason Dagger at 937-604-8820) right away and ask for a copy of the project map. As a member of this great community, it's the job of every one of us to stay informed with the truth.

New Book on Wind Farms

Click here for a BBC interview with the book's author The Wind Farm Scam John Etherington This book argues that the drawbacks of wind power far outweigh the advantages. Wind turbines cannot generate enough energy to reduce global CO2 levels to a meaningful degree; what’s more wind power cannot generate a steady output, necessitating back-up coal and gas power plants that significantly negate the saving of greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, there are ecological drawbacks, including damage to habitats, wildlife and the far-from-insignificant aesthetic considerations. Dr Etherington argues that wind power is being excessively financed at the cost of consumers who have not been informed that their bills are subsiding an industry that cannot be cost efficient or, ultimately, favour the cause it purports to support. "The book should be required reading for every high school, college, and university student. It explains wind energy, and its limitations and environmental insults,...

Resident Researches Living with Turbines

This writer wanted to research the effects of the wind industry in the community after wind developers proposed coming to her region of Sardinia, NY. Read on to discover what she learned... Sue Sliwinski of Sardinia, N.Y., writes (Sept. 27, 2005): Over the past nine days and 3,000 miles and seven wind farms, Sandy Swanson and I took many still shots, reams of video, and copious notes and conducted numerous interviews. What's happening is an absolute crime. Every single impact that is denied by developers has been confirmed again and again in wind farm after wind farm. Lovely rural communities are being turned into industrial freak shows. In some places people have just accepted their fate and live with it, not understanding how empowered they actually are by their situations . . . meaning that all they'd have to do is get noisy enough and the developers would stop ignoring them. One told us she's learned how to go outside in her garden and block everything from her mind . ...

People Are Catching On...

From: Smoky Mountain News The answer’s still blowin; but the times may be a’changin’ By Don Hendershot I was heartened recently by two op-eds I read in area newspapers regarding industrial-sized wind turbines in the mountains of Western North Carolina. The reasoned commentaries were written by individuals with firsthand knowledge of science, the scientific method, Appalachian history, energy emissions and the environment. The first commentary I saw, in the May 19 Asheville Citizen-Times, was written by John Droz Jr. of Morehead City and Greig, N.Y., and a frequent visitor to Asheville and WNC. He is a physicist and environmental activist. Droz believes critical thinking and common sense have been eschewed with regards to wind power for the sake of being green. He writes: “As a physicist and long-time environmental advocate, I believe we need aggressive and meaningful changes in our state and federal energy policies. This urgency, though, shouldn’t mean we abandon critical thinking — in...
