Power to the people!

Build it and they WILL come.
Some good,some not so good, but they will come.

1.21 gigawatts... Great Scott!!!

150,000 hectares of windmills. Just think of what that development will do to their pristine wilderness. Roads will have to be built to each windmill. People have enough issues with logging roads now with erosion and opening wild land to vehicles. There will have to be a power line network connecting each windmill, that will look pretty. Each mill takes about 500 tons of concrete and large amounts of steel. You C02 chasers think of all the C02 produced, producing the steel and concrete. Another fact the yearly average of power produced by a wind mill is only about 30% of its nameplate rating.

Check with Spain, Germany and Denmark and how their windmills are doing! When the wind is not blowing where does the power come from. Ever notice when its very cold or very hot, no wind, equals no power just when you need it most. They are still building those nasty coal fired power plants to back up the wind mills.

Windmills also equals very expesive power which requires large government subsidies. Where do these subsidies come from, your pocket, my pocket.

Last but not least people where up in arms about a few birds killed over at the tar sands but not a peep about the tens of thousands of birds killed each year by existing windmills. Also lets not mention the over one billion birds killed by domestic cats in the U.S. alone each year.

Windmills are not smart power.

If these windmills were so good,why are they not being erected everywhere?
I have been doing some more reading on them and it seems they are not all they are cracked up to be.
There are just as many negatives as there are positives to their use.
What happened to the big windpower project touted for Mt.Hays in Prince Rupert?
Anybody hear any more on that one?

Windmills are the same as nuclear power. They cost too much and without the subsidy from government(us),they aren't worth the planning paper.

Bravo Iskut Tahltan!
