At the Article 10 forum held at Jefferson Community College Thursday March 8, 2012
Charles Ebbing, a retired acoustic engineer with Carrier Corporation made comments about wind turbines.
Normally, when Mr. Ebbing speaks about wind turbines his focus is the low-frequency noise emitted by wind turbines.
However, at this forum Mr. Ebbing chose another topic.
This is what he had to say.

This morning I went into Google and searched for the top ten natural wonders in New York State.
Of the top ten most were adjacent or near water
1. Niagara Falls
2. Lake George
3. The Catskill and Shawagunk Mountains
4. Finger Lakes
5. Adirondack Mountains
6. Thousand Islands
7. Montauk Point on Long Island
8. Hudson River
9. Chimney Bluffs on Lake Ontario
10. The Grand Canyon of the East in Letchworth State Park
~~~
All of the ten areas consist of fantastic waterfalls, mountains, beaches, lakes and rivers that offer this,vistas fantastic views tremendous recreational activities.
If I say this another way, all top ten areas of New York have fantastic view sheds.
"A view shed is an area of land, water that is visible to the human eye from a fixed vantage point".
It seems, incredible to me that industrial wind could even be considered inside the view sheds of the Finger Lakes and thousand islands region.
"My question to you is; what protection of article 10, provide for these 10 natural wonders of New York State." The areas near New York City of Montauk point, and the Hudson River, all have the status of New York State "scenic areas of statewide significance"

Concerning "Viewshed", Assemblyman Kevin A. Cahill, D-Kingston,one of the speakers addressing the public at the Article 10 forum ,said that the protection of viewshed will be taken into consideration.

The Windmills placed behind the LIGHTHOUSE are NOT in the plan, the picture is a phony.
The picture of the lighthouse is a visual simulation similar to what Saratoga Associates does for BP, only in this case the turbines are real. The idea is to give us a sense of what it would be like. In this case it's better than anything BP can provide.
8:40 not in what plan? Thousands and thousands of people view these turbines on Wolfe Island. How is the picture a phony? They are about as real as it gets, man!
7:44
Yup!
