On Thurs. March 13th the Public Service Commission granted eminent domain to a Pipeline LLC. Maybe this is the fair way to site turbines. A onetime payment of $1000.00 for ¼ acre of land required for each turbine. That payment would be good for the entire 30 year life of the project. This makes it equal for the participating and nonparticipating landowners. We will all be doing are part to be green. The wind developers will pick and choose the prime locations for turbines and the Public Service Commission will take the land for them. Under this arrangement I wonder how many farmers will be standing at the end of their driveway with open arms. Or will they be standing there with a shotgun when the wind developers start to prowl the back roads of the Towns.
It takes a person with the highest level of integrity to put the concerns and needs of the community and their neighbors ahead of their own personal financial gain. How many people like this do we have in Rock Co.? In Wisconsin?
