I agree with Hooper. Why should we as a people allow our government to give away land to a private company so that we can pay for them, through tax incentives/tax breaks(that means our tax dollar is footing a huge part of the cost, well over a billion $ estmated) to build a power plant that hey say at a minimum the energy at todays prices is going to cost 33% more than we currently pay. That means we are paying for thwe towers to be constructed. If it is so god damn important then we should build and own the entire facility. 130 turbines will probably be visible from 10 to 12 miles away. Christ I can see the practice/test tower when I am on the Vineyard easily. You all should read the Vineayrd Gazette editorial page and get a true sense of all of the facts, good and bad, about the wind towers. As a side story, many of the companies, most of whom originated in Europe have been infiltrated by crooks many of whom have been indicted, eight so far. While the technology is much more efficient, it should be put to a vote of the citizens who are going to be affected by the building of the towers, from an esthetic and monetray viewpoint. Just recently an attorney, whose name is Jeffrey Madison, whose family is a member of the Aquinnah tribe, went to work for Wynn and Wynn in Hyannis and has been negotiating with two factions of the tribe, offering bribes, to make their tribal oppositon go away. This whole thing pisses me off.
