As a resident of Rochester, IL, I am familiar with this scheme. Smells like the Reverend Jackson's Rainbow extortion scams. Also, what will CWLP and council do when PETA sues because the birds are dying in the wind turbines. These loonies yearn for the Dark Ages.
Since part of Rochester is served by CWLP you should go to the City Council on Tuesday and ask them to delay the vote until we can see what all the negotiations had and. This will effect you directly.
If you know people in Springfield tell them to call their alderman to stop this deal now. This is backdoor compliance with Kyoto.
Hey, guess what. The Sierra Club's wind farm of choice is owned by Goldman Sachs. This was Enron's investment banker and also has claimed prominent pols like Robert Rubin, former Treasury Secretary and CitiGroup CEO that made calls to Paul O'Neill during the Enron collapse to help them out.
Jon Corzine, Governor of New Jersey. Former Republican Senate Candidate Jack Ryan, and Current Treasury Secretary Harry Paulson who is in deep with the Environmental Global Warming and selling huge land tracts to the Enviro wackos.
Goldman Sachs has several former top brass involved with Sierra Club. Deep pockets to get contributions from.
