Re: choking kids and big emitters



Bill, Glad to hear abaout your wind turbines and especially that I will not
be able to hear them..The great wind farms east of Livermore  and Banning
in CA are fun to see.  It took six years for owners of a horse ranch to sue
and collect damages from Pacific Gas and Electric near Livermore so he
could by another ranch for his sickly horses.

Since the average annual wind velocity at the Pt Reyes Light House is 25
miles per  hour several outits have been interested in wind farms here but
most the area is US, Calif or Marin county parks and not likely to be
acceptable to the parks or to the five villages in the area.

I am all for wind farms if i can't hear them.

It was good to meet you at EVS-14.

Cheers, Bob Wing
