Greetings,

    Wind mills are a good thing for personal use. If property owners want to put one next to their own house, barn or on top of their business establishment, that's just fine. But to have 3-5 hundred huge industrial wind turbines (as proposed by the Hartland wind farm for northwestern ND) put in the face of all man and wildlife currently enjoying the natural landscape and solitude of this region is wrong. And the issues here are not just visual or local. The production of transmission lines to support this project will impact landowners and wildlife across this state.

WINDS OF CHANGE ... a soon-to-be forgotten energy source

     Questions:  What would happen if the wind industry collapses?  Who would be responsible for the broken or worn out turbines? Would government require landowners who have received money from turbines, and participating electric cooperatives, to either repair or remove these structures from the landscape? Or would the taxpayer just get jabbed again if the government ends up with a mess like this? Dealing with issues related to some of these questions has already surfaced in California involving six landowners. Read here:

    "North Dakota farmers are being approached by sophisticated wind developers and are being encouraged to sign contracts, either leases or easements, which subject the farmers to legal risk that could, one day, cause them to loose their farms," Rice said. "I have the utmost respect for farmers, but frankly, they are no match for contracts drafted by the big-city law firms representing wind developers." Colleen Rice, lawyer for NV Energy. Wind Companies Want to Nix Contract Disclosures - Bismarck Tribune - 4-22-09.

    "A single 555-megawatt gas-fired power plant in California generates more electricity in a year than do all 13,000 of the state's wind turbines. The gas-fired plant sits atop a mere 15 acres. The 300-foot-tall windmills impact over a hundred thousand acres to provide expensive, intermittent, insufficient energy." - L.M. Schwartz (Source) Industrial Wind Action Group

LANDOWNER ALERT - (updated regularly) "People who say 'You can't tell me what to do with my property' are in actuality signing away the control of their property to wind companies in signing these leases." - Barbara Boone (Source) Industrial Wind Action Group.

    As the true story about industrial wind energy continues to unfold, so comes the growing number of opposition organizations in the U.S., Canada and world wide. Just look on the Affiliates page of the Wind-Watch web site. If this doesn't open eyes, I don't know what will. The Video archives also offers more real life facts about the wind industry.
