An ill wind
Let’s call a spade a spade: Your article refers to “wind farms” but what exists on Wolfe Island and in other similarly afflicted communities is a massive industrial installation perhaps more correctly described as a “wind factory” (What’s Blowing in the Wind? — July 8). Could this be why rezoning is always required before construction of these monsters in the middle of real farm land?
