‘WIND TURBINES’ – FOR NEW JOBS
& LOW-COST ELECTRICITY!
Alternative energy includes Wind,
Solar & Hydrogen either in fuel-cells or direct, but these are the three
main energy sources now being used throughout Europe & Russia. In fact, Germany is completely free of any ‘fossil-fuels’ and became the first nation to derive all its energy-needs
directly from ‘Wind Turbines’! The ‘Wind
Turbines’ being used in Germany
are so efficient that one of their turbines can replace upwards to fifteen or
more of those used here in America. That’s how fast the alternative energy
industry is changing and greatly improving the lifestyles of everyone! It is a fact that in Germany there has NOT
been a single factory or industry that has emitted any carbon-dioxide into the
atmosphere for the past three-decades – yet here in
America, there has yet to be any filters used on all the industry smoke-stacks still
spewing ‘carbon-dioxide’ into our
atmosphere which is the cause of ‘acid-rain’
that can take the paint off vehicles and kill entire forests – let alone the vast number of respiratory
health issues!
Here in Pocahontas County we have
wind-speed-levels that exceed Level-5, the highest rating for wind-turbines,
which means that installing ‘Wind Turbines’ in this county would become very profitable in a
short period of time – create many new jobs – and sustain itself forever!
Although the federal government would most likely NOT approve the
placing of ‘Wind Turbines’ upon
federally-owned-land, the same could not be said upon State-owned-land and of
course upon privately-owned-land where a land-owner would not only receive
free-electricity, but also receive a monthly rental check as well!
For all those ‘naysayers’ who wish to pretend that they are a ‘Friend of Coal’, while that is a
quaint-saying, it’s an obvious fact that ‘COAL’ IS NOT A FRIEND TO PEOPLE OR
ANIMALS due to all the toxics & poisons found within coal burning, coal
processing, exhausts & slurry-impoundments, etc. It’s no different than the dangers facing a
person who enjoys ‘smoking’, or for
that matter, driving a vehicle – it may appear harmless at the time, but the ‘exhausts’ of both are eventually
deadly! And whether a person wants to
believe it not – increased carbon-dioxide in the atmosphere is a direct cause
of ‘Global-Warming & the
Climate-Change’ whereby extreme weather is the direct & proximate
result!
Further, for those who think that
alternative-energy will replace the ‘coal-miner’,
well you are right, it will – but ‘coal-miners’ are already a rare-breed once Massey Coal Co. began
blowing up over 500 mountains in West Virginia in order to do ‘strip-mining’, ‘mountaintop removal’,
by dragging down the mountains and destroying over 2000 miles of
tributary-streams in this state already! It’s estimated that there are now less than
4000 persons who claim to be ‘miners’
while the ‘Wind Turbine’ industry as
employed in excess of 100,000 during the same period of the destruction of West
Virginia mountains!
While Pocahontas County was
sparred any real involvement in the ‘Coal
Field Wars’ due to the 50 year-moratorium to stop mining coal that was placed
upon certain counties to stop the spread of the new civil-war, the fact that
our mountains then fell under the direct control of either the federal or state
government also prevented that civil-war from spreading into our own
backyards! Meanwhile counties like
Raleigh County, as shown in the documentary movie, ‘The Last Mountain’, distinctly shows that Coal River Mountain was faced with a
choice to have a mountain-range the size of Pocahontas County ‘blown-up’ by Massey Coal Co. for
$30,000.00 a year income to Raleigh County for 17 years – OR – keep
their mountains & build a ‘Wind
Turbine Farm’ to power close to 100,000 homes with electricity and receive
about $2 Million in new tax-revenue for the county – FOREVER! That’s clean energy for electricity forever!
So far
only two candidates for County
Commission have agreed to
explore the potential of bringing low-cost electricity to this county for new
jobs & new income – and that’s NORMAN LEE ALDERMAN (REP-SD) & PATTI
HEINEMANN (DEM-ND)!
THIS TIME IT’S YOUR CHOICE…
TO CHANGE FOR THE BETTER!
Just say ‘NO’ to those who want to keep this county in Poverty & Pauperism – and
Just SAY ‘YES’ to real Progress
& Prosperity for the future!
Therefore on Primary Day – YOU have a chance to elect two persons
that will always put YOU first! They know that:
THE
GREATER COMMON GOOD ALWAYS COMES BEFORE SELF OR ANY SELF-SERVING SPECIAL
INTEREST!
