I feel strongly both ways on this project. I don't think that wind power is ready for primetime yet, but I think continued development is necessary.

Can anyone say ludicrous? With the loss of electrical capasity,the decades it will take to restore the land, the cost in tax dollars and the impact on the economy I just can't see them doing this.
