Wow! A full page of propaganda from APEX promising to give the County ample money to maintain schools, pay for staff and make children love their school experience.
All by letting APEX build a Wind Energy Facility (it is not a farm). A number of people have bought into this deception hook, line and sinker to the point that they refuse to even listen to facts. But for those who are still capable of critical thinking, let’s examine all the financial pros and cons:
Timbermill claims about $1.1M will accrue annually to the county from taxes, lease payments, etc. Although nothing is guaranteed, let’s grant them $1 million annually.
On the adverse side, consider the following:
Net Total loss: – $7 million per year
Maybe this isn’t such a good deal!
These estimates are supported by over 100 studies, typically from independent experts as opposed to friendly reports paid for by the wind industry. Links to studies are available on request and on WiseEnergy.org.
