Global Winds Harvest of Schenectady, N.Y., in partnership with Acciona Energy North America, is considering installing up to 100 generators, or possibly more in Adams County.
If a wind farm were to get off the ground, it could have a big economic impact on the county. Zellman said a wind farm would create 200 or more construction jobs and 15 to 20 permanent jobs upon completion. These would be high-paying jobs offering between $50,000 and $70,000 a year.
An array of wind turbines would generate significant property tax revenue for local schools and other governmental entities.
Where does this private company get off by NOT spending MILLIONS of taxpayer money investing in something that might work?
Why are there not MILLIONS of taxpayer dollars being spent on studies and engineering fees?
Create 200 or more construction jobs and 15 to 20 permanent jobs upon completion?
Glad it will create tax revenue for our governmental entities so we can piss more money away on our Hydro project.......
