Is this to be the future of Andes? – August 2006

The wind-turbines in the composite photograph are scaled to represent actual height if anticipated development is allowed to proceed.

A group of concerned citizens from the Town of Andes created the Andes Alliance from a desire to preserve the natural beauty of the Andes area from a development project which offer little or no benefit to the citizens of Andes.

The Town of Andes has been targeted as a desirable location for big industrial/commercial wind-turbines whose installation will not benefit  the local economy and will spoil the charm and scenic nature of Andes.

Industrial wind-power companies have substantial funds budgeted to overcome local resistance to big turbines and are backed by multi-national Wall Street investment firms.

The Alliance supports the goal of returning America to energy independence, but we believe that big industrial-commercial wind-turbines are inappropriate for the Catskill region.
