We’ve Got a Friend in the Steuben Co. Legislature
We are guessing that a lot of you are dreading the onslaught of the Terra-Gen wind project, but are feeling hopeless to do anything about it. We understand – BUT the turbines aren’t built yet, Terra-Gen’s tax credits are NOT secure, inflation has caused the price of turbine parts to skyrocket, and bottom line, IT’S NOT OVER ‘TIL IT’S OVER.
WE NEED YOUR HELP TO SHARE THE LETTER BELOW written by Kelly Fitzpatrick, Chair of the Steuben County Legislature. The letter describes the way ORES has overturned local laws to impose 650’ turbines on the residents of Fremont, who are now suffering from documented health effects related to the turbines. People in the area have needed to leave their homes! And FINALLY Steuben County legislators are paying attention.
Some of us who are far enough away from THIS project think we won’t be affected. But if it gets built as planned, the wind people will want to put up a second project, and next time it could be bigger and affect all of us. Besides that, economically we will all be affected when our neighbors’ property values go down and some are driven out of their homes.
Help Stop Terra-Gen Before It’s Too Late
PLEASE DOWNLOAD AND SHARE THE LETTER (via snail mail) WITH THE CONCERNED PARTIES BELOW. It’s best to also write, sign and include your own letter describing concerns for your health and safety if the Prattsburgh Wind project is built. BUT if all you can do is send the letter from Kelly Fitzpatrick via snail mail (the best way), then do that. In case you don’t know, 20 years ago Prattsburgh was threatened by two wind developers who came dangerously close to building their projects. Some of us challenged them every step of the way and THEY EVENTUALLY GAVE UP.
These projects are not about clean energy – they are about making money for developers who care nothing about the lives they are ruining. Please help get that message out there.
