We don't want anyone to think anyone is trying to flimflam anyone? Right?


It depends on who you ask, how high these proposed Little Equinox windmills would be, exactly.

Kevin McGrath in his Manchester Journal cartoon/Jan. 13 queries What's wrong with this picture? What's wrong with Kevin's picture is that the head of Endless Energy responded to my question on height (at the meeting on 9 Jan.) that they are "390 feet." (Kevin stated 330! - you add 60, maybe 80 feet to that and you have quite a difference.)

We need to get this right! It does matter.

On the other hand, when the Endless Energy rep. talked of them at the first meeting I attended before Christmas, he said they would be 410 feet. I assume but do not aver that the 20-foot difference is the height of the enormous platforms, which would be needed to …

It would seem fair, when talking of these windmills to always be careful to use the correct height in feet. We don't want anyone to think anyone is trying to flimflam anyone? Right?
