Industrial Wind Energy Quote

“Driving from one end of the country to the other, you see all sorts of strange things, but nothing as ominous as these wind farms that now crowd so many wide open spaces. Gesturing obscenely, they block the horizon, sneering at the very idea that a bit of sky could be sacred.” —Lafayette Lee, Sept. 25, 2024

Industrial Wind Energy Quote

“By embracing industrial wind, for example, Vermont is replacing corporate-controlled fossil fuels with corporate-controlled renewables. We’re allowing those corporations to exploit ­and profit from our ridgelines, while ignoring the loss of valuable non-monetized benefits that intact mountains provide. In the end, Vermont’s climate change response hasn’t really been about “saving the environment,” no matter how ardently that sentiment is expressed in press releases and annual reports: it’s about maintaining, as long as possible, the unsustainable way of life that created the problem in the first place.” —Steven Gorelick, “Renegotiating the Future”

Industrial Wind Energy Quote

Industrial Wind Energy Quote

“Wind power is an idea that is appealing to the imagination. It sounds like a ‘free’ source of energy that would be non-polluting and stable in cost. I am an optimist, and I love technology. If I thought for one moment that windmills would be a source of low cost energy, I would be building them. The reality is quite the contrary — wind power is wasteful of human and natural resources.” —Fergus Smith, Vt.

“If people tell the public service commission they want all-renewable energy, then we’ll give them that, but not before we warn them that it’s going to cost an arm and a leg.” —Duane Schrader, Louisville Gas & Electric trading manager, “Power Switch,” Carleton College Voice, Fall 2018
