You have to love windmills. Visual pollution to replace hypothetical energy pollution. Windmills can't opperate in extreme conditions and will only replace less than one percent of energy used. How many elitist people in an economy based on the environment want the windmills in their visual site line? Teddy Kennedy didn't in Massachusetts. Have you seen the windmills in the San Gorgonio pass by Palm Springs? I wonder how many visitors will stop coming and land values drop when people actually see their ugly footprint. Remember the Highway Beautification act of 1964? It was to remove ugly billboards from the countryside to preserve the pristine enviromental view for drivers, and now they are back and much worse in their reincarnated form as windmills. You have to love the liberal mind. Billboards bad, windmills good for the visual environment. Visual polution for the masses but don't put them in Park City proper, we have to remember who are are the better class of people. Like the elitists of Marthas Vineyard in Massachusetts.
did my homework on CO2 vs. SMOG | 2:47 p.m. Aug. 25, 2008
1. Park City has no smog. Greenhouse gases have absolutely NOTHING to do with air pollution in Park City. Carbon Dioxide is not a contributor to smog. Smog results from the reaction of ozone and nitrogen oxides with sunlight. The brown haze also contains fine particulates. CO2, on the other hand, is what plants live on. No CO2 = no plants. Anywhere. It is not a pollutant. And it is invisible. A carbon footprint measures greenhouse gases and that is all.

2. The wind turbines AT - not "on top of" - Quinn's Junction in Park City happen to be within proper City limits and not adjacent to the proposed housing project. The visual of the small turbines will be less than the impact of the sports field lights, which are the same height and put off more light pollution than and wind turbine will visual pollution.

Do your homework and read the public documents if you plan on writing an article or posting a comment on such a hot topic.

1. CO2 was determined by EPA as being a pollutant

2. Holland has nice looking windmills, we should too.
