Insufficient information, nebulous reporting
We cannot rationally use such nebulous reporting, which, due to insufficient information leads the reader, but does not inform truthfully.

Patrick Monroe stated on page one of the Manchester Journal, Jan 13-20, that "seventy percent of Vermonters would like to see more wind turbines located in the state according to a survey" What survey? Was this a scientific sampling? What kind of numbers were queried, where? What is the jurisdiction of Senator Bill Doyle? This was bad reporting in the extreme.
We cannot rationally use such nebulous reporting, which, due to insufficient information leads the reader, but does not inform truthfully.
Again the question is location. Where do you place the windmills for maximum effectiveness and optimization of operation cost. The extravagant bill for installation would take how many years to offset in generated electricity? That would be a good question for Patrick to research and answer. By research we mean to not ask only one source; and to give names of sources.
