A friend of mine has been fighting tooth and nail against a proposed wind farm in the St Lawrence River adjacent to his summer home. He is about as conservative as they come.
You could not be more wrong about me. No, I am not an environmentalist. That part you are right about. However, if I could put a windmill or 10 in my yard, and generate power for myself and my neighbors, I would (for a small fee of course). I HATE paying my fuel oil bill.

I would just have to swerve around the towers when I am snowmobiling around the yard.

And yes, I would put a cell phone tower in my yard too. I could use the extra $$.

The world is changing. Our direct area is changing. People need to start changing with it.
