MOUNTAINS ARE NOT THE RIGHT PLACE FOR
INDUSTRIAL WIND TURBINES.
Power companies and speculators are trying to industrialize
our mountains and ridgetops. If they are successful,
Bedford County will be dramatically changed. When wind
turbines are installed, trees have to be cut down and
mountaintops bulldozed to create service roads and large
flat construction sites. Approximately three acres of forest
and wildlife habitat will be sacrificed for each turbine. Once
installed, these monsters will dominate the landscape while
altering scenic vistas and wildlife habitat forever.

oversight hearing on the DOE's implementation of the transmission corridor program, which

certain circumstances. The hearings are being prompted by a bipartisan coalition of 14
senators who say DOE has exceeded its authority in establishing high-priority transmission
areas and has infringed on state rights.
