Sustainable power and a long-term subsidy to the folks owning the land? What's not to like?

Randy Wheeler

Any thing to lessen reliance on coal and gas is a good thing.

Some county residents have spoken against wind turbines at public hearings. Their objections include the noise and the size of property setbacks.

They can charge Columbia's E-scooters with them.

They are giant, noisy, bird murdering machines.

I have had 59 wind turbines built right across from our beautiful farm in Iowa. It was horrible. Causes migraines and cows just up and died with no explanation. Just think what it does to humans.

We used to have government funded mental institutions that would have handled this, but Reagan handed this off to the states who didn't have the money to continue funding.

If the City passes this, the homeless will not go away. They will move into the surrounding neighborhoods. Your children will step over the homeless as they walk to school and you will hear screaming all night long..
