Energy Reform

Benton and Franklin Counties

By Megan W. and David R.

WHEREAS, Future wind turbines, being more technical advanced will increase power, so there can be less of them but more power will be produced; and
WHEREAS, with less expense, space, and noise. When the wind technology expands it will be less expensive, more powerful and with a better impact on the economy; and
WHEREAS, Windmill production helps create more jobs, through need of maintenance and construction; and
WHEREAS, Windmills are environmentally safe, and friendly, because they don’t pollute the air, they don’t produce fumes; and
WHEREAS, Measures may be taken to reduce the risks upon the local wildlife that may come into contact with the windmills; and
WHEREAS, Windmills need not be built in town or urban areas, where some people may consider them to be detracting to property values scenic opportunities; and
WHEREAS, The windmills or wind farms could be built in remote areas far enough away from people to be removed as a noise pollutant to them, but close enough for regular maintenance,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That wind farms be considered as a definite must in our state, as it would be less expensive, better for the economy, and more power for our cities.
