This is going to be one of the biggest eye sores in front of one of the most beautiful canyons along the Wasatch front. Spanish Frok should be ashamed

It's about time this typw of project was done! Anyone that actually lives (or has lived) in Spanish Fork know of the natural wind potential of the canyon. Only a non-native liberal environmental snob would consider this project an eyesore compared to the vast vistas of the area that will still be seen in the canyon.

Whether something looks good, or bad, depends on one's range and clarity of vision. If one sees just the immediate visual light image directly in front of them, is one quite limited vista. When one sees the holistic picture, over ensuing time, over the whole region and whole earth, quite different views are seen. If wind power is not constructed and used, coal or nuclear power plants will be built elsewhere. Ah, the beautiful sights and scenes of open pit mines, or underground mines with spoil piles, the railroad lines built to tranport coal, the sulphates, mercury, particulates into the atmosphere, and the stunning scenes of melting ice caps, desertification and drought from increased CO2, these are the long term sights and view which result from failing to utilize wind and other renewable energy resources.
How long can the beauty of the canyons, the mountains, the environment be sustained, if we gluttonously and wantonly despoil and destroy it through short sighted blind consumption in non-renewable ways?
Cities or individuals who promote such projects, deserve appreciation and thanks.
