Cape Vincent's Vision Statement:

 “Cape Vincent is a small-town, rural community with unique scenic,
historical and natural resources. We are committed to preserving these
essential qualities that make it a desirable place to live, while seeking to
improve the local economy by promoting compatible residential and small
business growth.”




Below are pictures from all of BP's current wind projects. The landscapes of these wind farms are vastly different from  Cape Vincent a  community with Churches, schools, homes, cottages, streets, docks, boats and people –  with Lake Ontario and the beautiful Thousand Islands in the foreground or the background.

Very impressive documentation of contrast.

Cape Vincent and the Thousand Islands is not a vast wasteland. Make your visual concerns directly to the PSC website.

Sometimes you just don't have to say a lot to make a point. With all the interest in visual assessments it is only fitting to show the before and after of what BP is proposing for Cape Vincent. This post says it all.

Pandora,

Please leave this up as your top post up for a day or two so that more visitors to your blog will have the benefit of seeing this "compare and contrast" display.

It speaks for itself to anyone with eyes and a brain.

How many nearby homes do you see in these photos? Does that tell you anything? It appears these wind factories are located in remote areas.

Very nice. I wish I had the ambition to use a similar way to demonstrate the inland scenic vistas created by the farms and natural beauty.

9:52 Where do you guys live anyway? It doesn't get much more remote than Burnt Rock road area.

A great spot for some big wind turbines!!The few people that live out there don't count for much,even the town zoning doesn't protect them. Why isn't there a photo of this remote district in this collection of photos?

12:53 I hope that's sarcasm, because I live out here and I enjoy each and every day in the peace and quiet away from my stressful job. It's absolutely beautiful. The sun rises and sets where I live, too.
