Why would Vermont Community Wind Farm be willing to spend huge amounts of money on lawyers and experts only to find out that the wind does not blow enough to merit placement of wind towers? Why does the state of Vermont not have any siting standards for wind turbines?

The report on supporters of the developer is also of concern in that the reporter was not present at the meeting. A quote was attributed to one of the people present that he was inspired to support the project because of his 11-month-old grandson.

If this project ever is realized, there will be no place in Ira to walk with his grandson in the mountains without being in proximity of turbines that have potential health impacts that are currently coming to light.

Public forums are necessary so that renewables that are dangerous are not put in place and those that will benefit the public good of all citizens are utilized.
