I am opposed to Duke Energy (or any other wind cmoapny) installing an industrial wind farm ANYWHERE in Benzie County (or Manistee County for that matter). Many of us have retired to Benzie County for the beauty, the peace and quiet, and for what this area has to offer recreation wise. Our quality of life will be shattered. The thing that upsets me the most about this project is that it really has nothing to do with being Green and EVERYTHING to do with making green. It is all about the almighty dollar. Wind energy is not as pure as their signs proclaim! Wind energy is ineffecient and only produces energy about 30% of the time. Also, many people think that the electricty that these turbines will produce will stay right here in Benzie County. That is simply not true. The electricity will be sent (via huge transmission lines) to the highest bidder (another utility cmoapny) and will go to Ohio, or Illinois, or Indiana! I agree wholeheartedly with Beth, Norma, Mary, Abby, Paul, Robert and Brendan. This issue has already brought great division in our community and has pitted neighbor against neighbor. When all of these folks signed leases with Duke, they were sworn to secrecy. The whole issue just makes me sick. We live in such a beautiful area, but it could be ruined forever. All for what? For money. Very sad.
