They will be happy to debate, compromise, waste all your time - talking about bats and unproven health issues, and diverting attention away from the only issue that can bring them down.<br /><br />Tom StacyTom Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10293860224114004661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154226024379040074.post-85544682600721014642011-08-03T18:27:07.131-07:002011-08-03T18:27:07.131-07:00Thank you for your question. First we want you to...Thank you for your question. First we want you to know that due to an expected large attendance, the meeting has been moved to the Culver Elementary School gym.<br />We are aware of two test towers, but have heard that there are 3. They are on private property so it is not possible to tour them. Actually, there is not much to be seen. The towers are under 150 feet, without blades, and are for data collection.<br />The county wind ordinance requires the wind company to put up a bond that would pay for the deconstruction of everything above ground and to 4 feet underground. The 16 x 16 foot pad actually goes 12 feet underground.<br />As far as installation and maintenance costs are concerned, you could probably do a search online and find some information that way. If you are asking if they pay for themselves, the answer is no. They are subsidized by the government. The government of India, the country with the third most wind turbines in the world, is ceasing their subsidies. Given the financial condition of our government, one has to wonder if that could at some point happen here.Marshall County IN-Wind Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09831467674572655861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154226024379040074.post-13195486384713938942011-07-31T13:43:02.460-07:002011-07-31T13:43:02.460-07:00Thank you for sharing information on this project ...Thank you for sharing information on this project proposal. <br />Meeting: Sat. Aug 13th at 10:00 in Culver Theater.<br />There are 4 "Test Towers" now installed. Where are they and can we tour?<br />What is the value of the energy produced compared to the cost to install and maintain? What will be the cost to remove them if they break or rust or the project fails? Will there be funds set aside to remove them if it fails?<br />Thanks, Rick Baxter, 1460 E Shore Drive, Culver, IN.
