Destroy the ridgeline !!! That will be real nice right in the middle of the recently designated national scenic trail. What a travesty, in pursuit of political correctness, destroy the most scenic and accesible place in central CT in pursuit of a few kilowatts of power. It could never produce mega watts of power and make any meanigful difference for our energy needs.
What a bunch of hypocrits, Middlefield has traprock protection regulations, can't have radio, towers, cell towers but I guess wind mills are ok. What a joke.
This is a look at clean energy for the two towns. I am not sure how that is a bad thing if we want to be energy independent from the Middle East. Again this is just looking into it to see if it is viable.
I say bravo to both Middletown, and Middlefield's elected officials to look outside the box.
Why dont we cover the hills of Maromas with wind towers. It is about cost and benefit, do you permanently scar the ridge line with towers and power lines down to the transmission lines in exchange for "clean energy".
Clean energy is great but not at any expence.
Everybody wants clean and green. Everybody wants hydro, solar, and wind power.
Just don't put them where I can see them!
Hypocrits!
