No, meaning it has one of the best energy potential sites in the NE
where there is the need for power...

...According to
Pickens, the whole midwest of the USA is highly suitable for wind
power.


And you're perfectly content that as long as _your_ sightlines aren't
compromised its ok if ours are, I take it??? *

Only if most people there are OK with having windmills there. There
could be benefits that make them attractive as well. Some areas have
clearly agreed to have them. Palm Springs, CA is one example. If
the tax revenue base, jobs, etc makes them worthwhile and the locals
are OK with it, then it's fine with me. On the other hand, if some
other areas don't want them because they ruin our view of the ocean
and choose nuclear power, do you have a problem with that?
