"For example it's been demonstrated that turbines optimally should be placed one and a half kilometer from existing homes in order to prevent the health issues mentioned above."
Sounds reasonable enough ...right? Actually 1.5 kilometers equals about 9 tenths of a mile.
Well consider that this person is from Cape Vincent. As this comment was submitted to the NYPSC CV had drafted a zoning law with wind regulations. Those regulations require turbines to be set back 2 MILES from the shoreline and 1.25 MILES from many other things...including schools, hamlets, villages etc which this commenter references in another part of their comment.
OK...so why is this commenter implying that 1.5K or .9 miles should be ANY kind of an acceptable standard. That doesn't even support the higher setbacks in their very own town law!!!
Well...somebody had told this person they had to write the PSC and get heard and be in the record.
And in the RECORD they suggest wind turbines would be ok less than a mile from homes? Not to mention this would imply that wind turbines are ok in the town as long as they meet this paltry setback.
So are wind turbines an acceptable use in the town or not???? Apparently so!
And I am sure this would also be a person who would gripe about the negative impacts of turbines on Wolfe Island more than 2 MILES AWAY from CV!
And this is what we want in the NYPSC record! Once again, a good wind company lawyer will have a field day with this nonsense.
And people wonder why I suggest you should not write the PSC. This comment like others is a vivid example why not!
If you want to make a good case for wind development in your town...then follow the lead of this and other such comments to the PSC!
