Wind Farm in Greenbrier County Encounters New Hurdle

i am so sick of these idiots that keep stopping progress,all they are doing is harassing people who want progress,they continue to tie up our courts with there crap!run them out of greenbrier county!!! these people have lost everytime with the psc and the west virginia courts now they are trying the federal courts they should all be arrested for being idiots!!! i for one say let progress move and hopefully the federal court will throw this case out!!!

i agree with the above posts,the people who keep fighting this need to GO!!!!! now they are wasting the time of our federal courts unreal!!!!enough is enough!!!! i very much dislike the people who are just delaying the end result which will be the wind mills will move forward!!flog the people who continue to delay!!!!!!!!!!

I hope they fight till these money hungry people that are destroying these mountains leave and go somewhere else. all they are after is the federeal dollars they will get to hell with what little energy they will make

When did you buy the mountain?? How much little energy will they make,sense you know so much about this Wind Farm program..

Guess it's ok to move moutains in order to build a wal mart.LOL

Hey Dingo most people complain about your post's and I think they are just not smart enough to realize you are correct MOST of the time.

Some do realize they just want to argue with me,Thanks

wind turbine killing bat is the dumbest thing i have ever heard. bat fly with a sence like radar, when we were young we would try shuting them like skeet, with shotgun, you can't hit them they can dodge anything. BATS realy i guess the left will buy in to anything

I don't think bats fly that high to feed,they tend to stay close to the ground when feeding,so hows the turbines going to hurt them.Besides if the bugs are that high the blades will kill the bugs so no great loss for the bats,

Stupid Indiana bats can't be endangered. The bats are everywhere.

the dumb a**es that are slowing down progress need to just get over it,have they ever heard majority rules!most people are okay with this going forward so why hold up the federal court with something this stupid?? endanger bats oh please!!!!

i bet none of you assholes have ever been on the mountain they want to destroy to send power to penn. or new york none of it comes here. so yes it pisses me off that westvaco will make millions for rent on the land and the windmills will make willions from the goverment and me get nothing..if you wnat them so bad put them along the interstate so eveeryone can lookat the damn things.. ask the tuckwillers if they wouldnt like a few of them in richlands to draw more people out there way..

We went on a picnic yesterday and I ended up on Cold Knob. Had my camera along so I took some pics to share. I posted them under the Lewisburg section since the Greenbrier Valley section didn't give me an option to upload. I think when they are finished it will be a cool, spectacular site to see and shouldn't affect the wildlife. After all, the deer will find a way to eat on the nice grass that will grow around them. The views are still gorgeous. I didn't mean to go up that far but had a great drive, lots of others up there site seeing and riding 4-wheelers. I was just the only one in a minivan and NOT a 4-wheel drive! Hope those who have never been there or are curious enjoy them.

Destroy the mountain? Westvaco make millions? Where were you when that entire area was clear cut so badly you couldn't find a tree larger than 12" across the stump? Where were you when the mountain was strip mined to the point that only small strips of "undisturbed" land lie between the strip mines? You act as though you are so morally outraged by the fact that wind turbines will soon be seen atop some of those mountain ridges, when in fact you are just spouting rhetoric you robbed from a conversation you overheard. The fact is, many people, many earthy people, hippies if you will, have been clamoring for CLEAN, RENEWABLE energy for years, and now that an attempt is being made to provide some of that energy some of those same people are screaming bloody murder. It's like this, we want it but we don't want it here, we want it in someone else's backyard. And as far as putting them "along the interstate", I say if the wind is there do it. If I could afford it, I would put a turbine on my property, actually, I hope to be able to do so in the future. I guess then, certain people will be trying to prevent that too. Wonder if it will be the same people who are now touting less government interference? Oh, and one more thing. I think this one line from the post quoted says it all "it pisses me off that westvaco will make millions for rent on the land and the windmills will make willions from the goverment and me get nothing."

You must be one of them!....Shame you don't stand to make anything off of this.You're just a looking out for your own pockets to get lined....

Hey treehuggers! Do you KNOW how slow those turbines spin?? If a bat is dumb enough to fly into one of the blades at such a slow speed then the damn thing deserves to die for being so stupid!
Geez, people. Find something REAL to bitch about!

Dang,Don't give them any Ideas about the grass hoppers.

I saw the ones up near Black Water Falls. They are so very very huge!! Takes one very long special tractor trailer to haul just one of the propellers. I read that the Wind Turbines where cheaper to build than replace, so when they break down they just put up a new one, instead of repairing the one that broke. Also that they only last a max of 15 years. I'm just wondering if a couple of decades from now if we are going to end up with a bunch of ugly rusty scrape metal on our mountains. Just like to get more of the facts.
