They are a sustainable energy company who installs estate/farm sustaining windmill systems. This windmills rotate on a vertical axis and provide energy to support an entire farm.

I'am terribly desappointed and hope at least the technology will survive this circumstancial, political defeat.

It is important to note this. And this could include an industrial scale wind plant that is not allowed per the current SB-1068. Community wind projects can include industrial scale wind turbines.

You have removed all issues regarding the concerns of illness and wind turbines. Please see my work in the Asheville paper. Thanks! I think removing comments about Acciona and the problems that one family is dealing with in regards to living next to turbines with their autistic son shows how desperate you are and it shows your inability to have truth as the core of your agenda.

Lawyers can give their opinions, people who were there can give their opinions, but he is 100% right as it has not been tested. This test will be coming soon, and it will be interesting. Again, I appreciated what Paul Quinlin said. He gave a very "fair" presentation.

Do you tell them that they have no right to sell the coal? It is reported that one county in the mountains has recently discovered another fossil fuel. I am trying to verify this. This would lead to another type of plant being built in that county (not coal related). So everyone should be treated the same in your opinion?

Senators ban wind in WNC by charlie humes http://aire-nc.org/2009/07/14/going-backwards-senators-ban-wind-in-wnc/comment-page-1/#comment-284 charlie humes Sun, 23 Aug 2009 04:49:40 +0000 http://aire-nc.org/?p=801#comment-284 I don't understand how I was putting anyone down Ann. I think it's ridiculous that we've reduced our ability to allow for sustainable energy technologies while still allowing electricity that causes asthma and pollutes our streams.
