If you don’t have time to make the right decisions now, you will have plenty of time later to wish you did. Wisdom in this situation screams for a moratorium.


  CLOSING STATEMENT
 
· UPC has presented one sided conclusions by people and agencies in line to benefit from the installation of wind turbines
 
· Only 5% of the revenue that UPC receives from the sale of the electricity generated from these turbines is divided amongst the Town, School and County in the form of P.I.L.O.T. funds
 
· 95% of revenue remains in the direct control of a foreign fostered corporation (UPC is trying to conceal source of their funding). UPC is a privately held corporation that appears to me to only want to exploit our resources for their one sided gain.

· History proves that once these turbines are up and the deceptive seduction by a wind company is over, the friendly wind company can quickly turn into an opponent of both the Town and the residents.
 
There are three ways to slow this rapid progression to possible regret:
 
1. The Town Planning Board should declare a short 12 month moratorium on the introduction of wind turbines into our Town giving time enough to assemble a balanced panel of qualified community residents to fairly research all the conflicting data and report back to the Planning Board with its findings.
 
2. Leaseholder should seek immediate legal council. Agreements may be invalid and not binding. A community legal fund could assist leaseholders, who want out, with any future actions.
 
3. Litigation
 
Option 1 and 2 soon will not be an option if the Town Planning Board and or the leaseholders do not act immediately. This will leave only option 3 … Litigation. What a sad story it will be if Cohocton government continues to resist its residents and will not come together in such a way as to sit down and work this issue through to its best conclusion for all concerned.
 
If you don’t have time to make the right decisions now, you will have plenty of time later to wish you did. Wisdom in this situation screams for a moratorium.
