Day and Night

Dear Editor,

The Public Service Commission hosted 2 sessions in Linden the other day.  They were as different as day and night.  The first had, amongst others, certain “experts” read from their scripts about how great wind energy is in saving the planet and what a boon turbine money will be to communities in Wisconsin.  They neglected to cover the damage the turbines would wreak on our ground water, our landscape, and our school children.  Then they went home to Madison and Chicago and wherever.  I wonder how those “experts” knew to descend on our little village of Linden.  They weren’t from here.

The evening session, however, was all locals.  When they talked, it was from the heart, and it all rang true:  the love of this beautiful and fragile land where we live and how powerless we are to stop its destruction by big money working hand in hand with our state government in Madison.
