Watertown Daily Times What made Cape Vincent great will be gone
THURSDAY, AUGUST 6, 2009
Cape Vincent is where I grew up, and has always been my favorite place. I don't think I am alone in this sentiment. However, the proposed wind farm will certainly ruin the reason that Cape Vincent is so sacred and unique to people. More importantly, our future generations will never experience the natural beauty that this area is known for. It will be changed to an industrial nightmare. Many will not want to live or retire here as a result, and hence the legacy of families that settled and built this town will be lost forever. I have tried to remain neutral regarding the turbines, but there comes a time when you have to stand up for your rights.
Why do our town officials value the wind companies more than the citizens they represent? Furthermore, it's hard to understand why so many people are indifferent about the issue. Many people say, "I don't care one way or another because I won't see them from my house or from the village. They won't affect me." To me this translated to I don't care what happens to my neighbors or my community.[Watertown Daily Times What made Cape Vincent great will be gone]

Jeff is right. Only the uninformed and greedy are for this development. People who fail to do the research and think and promote it as good because it brings in some easy money are doing the entire town a huge disservice.
There will be a price to pay for this ignorance such as losing the enjoyment of their property or walking away from it altogether. Don't start whinning then, you've had six years to learn and become aware.
