Keep the turbines off Kittatinny Ridge

You thought wrong. Most electricity in PA is used during the summer months.

Just checked on line with PPL, my maximum usage is Dec. Through March, winter.

A few years ago the uber-naturalists had the wild turkey on the verge of extinction due to loss of habitat through urban sprawl.

Please show me a reference indicating that "uber-naturalists had the wild turkey on the verge of extinction."

No one's returned my messages!

To whom are you directing messages? If your municipality has no ordinance governing personal windmills, then you can install one whenever and wherever you want.

More oil will not make energy more available and more affordable.....I know that is the mantra of the left, but what is the logic behind it? Doing NOTHING, the left's favorite approach (no new oil, no new refineries, no coal, no nukes, etc.) leads to energy.....how? Before saying no to everything, they need a credible alternative. The key is "credible"....we can't run our economy on "hope" or "change".

The information that Fafnir provided is from the US Energy Information Administration, not from "the left." I favor nuclear energy as the only viable solution to global warming. As pointed out previously, you'd need 4,000 industrial wind turbines to produce as much electricity as ONE nuclear plant.

I'm a Republican and I oppose an industrial wind farm on Blue Mountain because Blue Mountain is the US's most famous hawk migration corridor. Don Heintzelman is a highly respected ornithologist, so his opinion is of more value than those of laypeople.

Sorry, don't agree. The act of opening the ANWR WOULD drive down prices because it would tighten the leash on the Oil Speculators.

I'm glad that you are able to provide more accurate information than the US Energy Information Administration. You must be very smart and a real asset to the community.

Go for it. What's stopping you?

I don't know what Mr. Nackley's electric bill is like, but mine, like yours, peaks in winter, but that's only because I don't have AC. My neighbors' electric bills all peak in summer, because they have AC. As a whole, PA's electricity consumption is highest in the summer. That's why brownouts and blackouts occur in SUMMER.

I have the 'answer'. What about putting a turbine on allen iverson's head? he is lightning quick! He likes tats... im sure he's cool with turbs.

Research it yourself.
...and yes I am.
Same for the turkeys.

I'm still waiting for your citations refuting the findings of the US Energy Information Administration and your citations proving that "uber-naturalists" predicted the extinction of the wild turkey. The burden of proof is on you, not me, because you are the one who made these statements. Prove them.

There is absolutely no relationship between electricity generation and energy independence. There is nothing cheap about wind energy. The disturbance to natural habitat is unnecessary. Their nothing but a big nuisance on the grid. Somebody called them parasites because of the energy they consume. The only thing clean is the fuel source. The machinery itself requires a lot of maintenance which means a lot of money. Without gov't help they won't be built.

I have a heat pump. Winter-heat, summer-air conditioning.
