Wind Farm Cohocton, NY Our Future

[warpathracing]

My only comment is in reply to "I hope UPC gets richer than the oil bastards"... do your research angelica14709, UPC is funded by international oil conglomerates and acquisition companies.... ignorant a-hole! I gre up in Cohocton and I plan to come back, because someone has to do something about these abominations!!! Kudos to jetcat4445 for bringing these lies to the light!

Drove down 390 today and saw the beautiful windmills..How many of them are up there on the ridges? How has the productivity progressed [or not] since 2007? I'd love to have one behind me up on my suburban ridge..but are they in any way noisy? Hope their appearance has been more accepted by locals.

[glassroots1]

yeah, save the planet....but destroy small towns in the process.....the VERY towns that started this country. Yeah, I am all for saving the planet and alternative energy. But to go into a small town because there is less people to piss off is NOT right. How many 2000 lb. electric cars are there dude? I havent seen any that big yet. The farthest I know of ONE car going on an electric charge is only 40 miles, then it has to use gasoline. WOW, that should take our worries off global warming!

[angelica14709]

Ethonal, fuel the SUV with food, that upsets me. We need some facts on why wind doesn't work, not just you saying it doesn't work and using a hateful term. What are the much better ideas? Why don't you sit in front of your camera and explain the facts on how and why using the wind doesn't work and why coal, ethonal, oil, and nuclear power is better. You have to convince the people of "Greenpeace" I will be watching your videos. Don Kaake the "Turbine Nazi" LOL

[angelica14709]

I looked at the damaged road video you did. I am unimpressed it looks like any other dirt road in the spring time all it will take fix it is a grader when it dries out. The coal pollution will not go away with a road grader. Nuclear waste will not go away with a road grader. We can't fix running out of oil with a road grader. Scam or not I am glad wind power has started. Could you give one source for your scam theory? The next generation of turbines will be better than these. (gas $3.50)?

[soldiermom2001]

I don't know where you live but I know that specific road and it has NEVER looked like that no matter what the weather was. Why do you think farmers stayed off those very same roads until spring had arrived and dried up the excess water before putting heavy tractors, etc on it. These roads are not meant for non stop traveling of oversize loads that were expressly forbidden to be on them until the condtions had improved. If you lived here you would see SCAM everywhere you looked.

[angelica14709]

They don't travel the road because the fields are not ready either. It's just gravel, clay and sand easy to fix and the construction will be over soon. The "Magic Energy of Ethanol" is the SCAM of the century. If you search youtube for "casella nysdec" you will see videos of what the dump does to us. It has split our community. The millions of tons of waste will do damage in the future far beyond what a turbine is doing to you.

[angelica14709]

How about tax breaks for the rich, the big farmers growing crops for ethanol(raising the price of food), the oil companies. You and I just haven't found a scam we can join in on, just pay and pay for energy.

[jimb955]

Don do serious research on why the "wind farms" are created.....money for the IDA's and developers. No electricity, no problem. Its all about "green energy credits"

[angelica14709]

Let's see the numbers, show me the serious research you have done. I can be convinced.

[angelica14709]

Show me wind power is bad without the money argument.

[jimb955]

Don,I got started on this after visiting the Tug Hill where i could see 107 turbines from one location and 47 were not turning. There was plenty of wind and the non functioning ones were scattered throughout the turnings.

[tribluered]

Try looking up Windbelt Generators. Thats more efficient. When the Windbelts get a little more well known, people will use it.

And the Windbelts don't cost a fortune.

[angelica14709]

I have done a lot of sailing on the lakes around here, the air is very squirely at times.

What is your conclusion about this statement?

Wind mills that don't turn means wind power is bad?

Wind power is not as good as importing oil?

Wind power is not as good as mercury laden coal?

The industry has to start somewhere. The next generation of generators will out strip the current ones by miles. They will probably mount them on the same posts who knows. What is your answer to saving the planet?

[jimb955]

Answer to saving the planet? Convince about 80% of the human population to die or at least stop having children...or step a) reduce and reuse b)phase in "green energy" in place and situational as needed. etc

[angelica14709]

Convince about 80% of the human population to die...good solution, we will watch you be the first. Maybe just the "greedy" will do it. What is your definition of "green energy" with wind out of the picture?

[gofuckyourselfahole]

YOU,,,,, are an idiot! You have NO clue what you are even discussing!!

[windpowergood]

"go fuck yourself a hole" try it you will like it. You seem like a "do it yourselfer".

[gofuckyourselfahole]

Listen to you.....THINK you have an education eh??? Wind power is not bad....it just doesnt do didly squat!! Other than cause problems with little towns people that dont like drastic change. I think you are a bit young to understand or something. Do more research and you'll see there are many, many, many wind farms.  And they dont make up for but probably .5% of the worlds electricity. Saving the planet? Question is...what is your answer to saving the planet? Get a clue chick!

[angelica14709]

These turbines don't melt ice caps. People who don't like it will have to move just like those who live next to a nuclear power plant where the waste is stored on site and the risk of waste in the air is possible. Remember Chernobal.

"go fuck your self a hole" age 33 Why don't you go back to watching your favorite, Hanna Montana. Energy is much to heavy for you.

[soldiermom2001]

Unfortunately I do live near these ugly monsters and will be unable to just up and move as we have put every penny of our hard earned money into our "HOME". We have lived here our entire lives, raised our children, loved what we saw out of our windows...we had hoped to have our grandchildren come here and love it also but it no longer gives us the pleasure it once did. When you have a home and family of your own you may understand how it feels to have someone change it without your permission.

[angelica14709]

Ugly is working in a coal mine. Ugly is what coal emissions are for lakes, human health and polar ice caps. Ugly is a nuclear power plant that has dangerous waste you can't do anything with. Ugly is fighting and dying in a war in Iraq for energy. I think that the wind turbines are beautiful because of what they do and ugly is not an argument. The State of NY blessed Angelica, NY with a dump, maybe your waste comes here, some people like it because it's not in their back yard (nimby). Get over it

[angelica14709]

If the public is paying for this, the records should be available through the Freedom Of Information Laws (FOIL) Go for it, if they are wasting my money I want to know.

[jimb955]

i have a letter from the state comptrollers office stating the preliminary findings of an audit of SCIDA (Stueben County Industrial Development Agency). Simply put, the report stated, "You Suck" Want to know more?

[angelica14709]

Yes I would like to know more. What are the preliminary findings, coal and oil are good wind is bad? "You Suck" is not a good debate tactic. You are trying convince everyone who reads the comments. The little thumbs up is not convincing either.....Facts are.

[DJJASON47]

Well, kumbyyah my poor and trusting propagandized friend.

Do your research BEFORE you help the industrial wind industry with their scam:

>Industrial wind will NEVER replace more than 1% of the oil consumption in this country, even if we cover all of our beautiful hills with these huge monsters.

>Industrial Wind is a tax scam of epic proportions, first developed by Enron. It will do very little to help our country, but will produce a minuscule amount of power at a great cost to all of YOU.

[angelica14709]

Why don't you or someone like you do a video to document what you are saying. Droping buzz words like Enron does little to support your position. My brain might "bend in the wind" to your position. The planet is at risk. Open pit coal mines that's pretty, sending men into coal mines that's pretty also? The trains hauling coal are common here, just think about the hole in ground that leaves.

[angelica14709]

How much money do the car companys make with big gas guzzeling cars, thats a winner? Citizens of Allegany County (CCAC) won in the US Supreme Court against taking title to private companys nuclear waste. Demostrate to this trusting propagandized friend windpower is bad.

[tribluered]

They should look in to the Windbelt Generators, much more efficient. Good vid though.

[angelica14709]

Do you have any more information on Windbelt Generators?

[tribluered]

google Humdinger Windbelt. The website should pop up, there is also a vid on youtube. The inventor annouced the technology a short while ago. Its pretty cool.

[angelica14709]

It is evident that wind power is in it's infancy. Thanks for your input.

[tribluered]

have you also heard of the solar tower? That thing uses wind.

[tribluered]

The Solar Tower uses Wind and Solar. It is also 80 percent efficient.
