Last year, in Spring lake the Borough Council voted to oppose a wind turbine. They won. Apparently turbines are visually offensive and “appear to be impractical.” Residents fear that the “obtrusive and overall negative impact to the community and property values, and tend to lessen the quality of life for residents living in proximity to the turbine.” I wish I could remember the last time I saw a news report highlighting the positive impact of an oil spill or coal mining on those local residents. Instead, we hear all about British Petrol’s carelessness has property values in the coral reef all in a tizzy. Or mountain habitats reduced to rubble to get at Earth’s limited fossil fuels. And it’s the windmills that are too ugly?
