I disagree that many Vermonters are against wind farms. There will always be the "not in my backyard" attitude, which in my opinion is very short sighted. Our country must look towards all options to reduce our carbon footprint and the need for oil, including wind and solar. Great job on the debate last night!

Shumlin has always been the strongest candidate in advocating for the closure of VY. From what I've seen closing VY and committing to renewables are two of his highest priorities. Yeah.

Take a look on the internet and discover the rapidly growing segment of Vermonters who feel the same way. The scenic beauty of our ridge lines may be the most important thing we have in drawing tourists, second home owners and a talented work force to our state. Wind will certainly be an important component in developing our nation's energy future, but there is a right and a wrong place to do it. Vermont is the WRONG place. There are a number of other ways in which we can do our part without destroying the heart of our state. If you are supporting commercial wind power in Vermont, you just lost my vote!
