This wind project is going to jack for me and the rest of the county (although you'd all sure like to convince us otherwise). But you know what, it is going to ruin my view and probably impact the land it is sited on. Even if the Oregonian didn't have the right spot, they had the right point. SHAME ON YOU JUDGE! I WILL KEEP ON HATING YOUR DANG WIND IDEAS AND WHAT YOU WANT TO DO TO OUR PRETTY PLACES. Some people here don't, won't, or can't make money from having industrial wind on our property, but some of us do make it through the tourism revenue that comes from folks wanting to visit Steens... LETS KEEP THAT BUSINESS IN TACT.

I know that in North Dakota, it wasn't given much thought, but now, when you drive down the highway, the landscape is permantly scarred by all these towers. I understand the need for the energy, but one the towers go up, they will be there for a really long time. It is really very ugly now, the natural beauty is forever changed.
