This is really a bit presumptuous- did you ...Mark,<br /> This is really a bit presumptuous- did you link this blog to yours? or the Roanoke County Mountain Defenders face book page to yours?<br />http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/pages/Roanoke-County-Mountain-Defenders/132576433432279 I did notice that this portion of the RVCCC press release is the same as part of the Invenergy press release given out by the company at the community meeting.<br /> "Using the Roanoke Valley Cool Cities carbon footprint calculator, a wind facility of this size can reduce carbon emissions by 98,000 tons per year in Roanoke County. Additionally, while conventional forms of electricity generation<br />(including nuclear energy) consume large mounts of water,wind turbines require minimal amounts of water to produce power. Roanoke County's carbon emissions reduction goal is 3% annually. This wind facility, alone, would offset Roanoke<br />County carbon emissions by 5.4 to 6.5% per year, depending on the final number of turbines. To put this in perspective, this<br />represents an offset of emissions equivalent to that generated by 18,000 to 21,500 cars each year.<br />www.invenergyllc."<br /><br />Shouldn't this shared collaboration be disclosed?<br />Annie KUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13500072500951269420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245322394206409324.post-32669390772612496612010-07-05T19:35:44.726-04:002010-07-05T19:35:44.726-04:00Please refer to our web site http://www.rvccc.org/...Please refer to our web site http://www.rvccc.org/wind.html for factual information on our position on the Poor Mountain wind farm proposal.

Unfortunately many of the mountain and Roanoke County folks are uninformed about the environmental devestation that will happen if these industrial wind plants are installed on our ridge tops.
