Undeserved criticism
THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 2009
After reading the lengthy paid ad from the Wind Power Ethics Group in the Watertown Times, it seems to me much time and money was spent researching who was benefiting from the wind power contracts. If these civic-minded people spend their time contributing their talents to making Cape Vincent the special town it is, then why should they be criticized for owning land that has been the backbone for our society?
We should all use our time researching how wind power will bring cleaner, healthier air, possible tax breaks, school improvement and the ability of our farmers to carry on their lifelong dreams to succeed in our everyday economy.
Anyone going into business does so by expecting to make a profit. Why else? Wind companies are no different. If we combine our efforts to compromise with the wind companies, we could see a win-win situation, where the future of Cape Vincent and our offspring will benefit.
