CAPE VINCENT — A personal wind turbine on County Route 7 was shut off Wednesday after alarmed neighbors complained that the turbine blades were spinning “out of control” in recent high winds.
“The wind got so bad up there and it’s been spinning so fast, it’s scary. It looks like it’s going to take off at any moment,” said Mary C. Grogan, a neighbor who has protested the turbine since it was erected in 2009. “It has never run before. This is the first time it has operated.”
