Wind farm in New York City
Living in Austin but haling from New York, I can assure you that the cultures of the two cities are different. In Austin, people really like green drinks, farming, eco-landscaping, bicycling...the list goes on. But New York, as a whole, has other less sustainable things on its mind.
That's why I viewed this article on building a wind farm off the coast of Queens, New York with some pride.
It makes perfect sense to build one, especially if you consider that New York's most historic natural advantage has been that it's a city awash in water (rivers, bays, oceans...you name it).
The cost of the project is in the billion dollar range. But we have to start paying our environment back by purchasing our power utilities in a forward-thinking fashion. Which is why I vote: yes (on wind farms).
