I see where the Michigan legislature is now seeking a permanent ban on any wind turbine project for the entire Great Lakes. That is a wonderful idea that I hope will pass with a big margin. If it becomes law soon, it will protect the Great Lakes from ever having these in them for today, and the future, thank God.

The Scandia proposals are reminding me more and more of the current health care proposals. The local, state and federal governments, respectively, will likely use the people's money irresponsibly to force something on us which will be totally inefficient and which most don't want or need. Alternative energy, yes, but responsible alternatives.

New expanded proposals are also in the works by Scandia for Muskegon and Grand Haven. The GH Charterboat Assoc. Pres. said they never even got an invite for a voice on it. And they are totally against it too. More backdoor deals are in the works it appears.

Oh, sorry I forgot the most important item: to move the structures northward away from Pentwater, and put them in front of the Ludington Harbor instead. These changes make me even more against the entire project now.

Important update #deaux: according to the LDN today, the Scandia Co. is re-proposing the wind farm in Lud., to wit, move the structures to 4 miles offshore instead of 2 miles, downsize the project to ? units, and, to ensure ALL citizens are happy, listen for the vote back from the County Commissions in Mason and Oceana, bypassing the City Councils, like Pentwater's recent NO VOTE. I just hope ALL the citizens go to the mat against this, and let our County Officials know it's NO to these destroying our Lk. Michigan now, and in the future.

Castonia is the Sixth Ward Councilor. Which makes him twice as bad as if he was the Councilor of the Third Ward, I'd imagine. FTR, Castonia has only called members of Ludington Talks cowards. He thinks the world of the Ludington Torch, I hear-- but not too loudly.

I truly don't think the Lud. CC gives a rat's rear about ANY local people. As witnessed by the slander of calling LT peeps cowards by a CC member, one whom didn't even have an opponent in last falls election. His Name? Look up the 3rd ward councilman, CASTONIA! The BIGGEST COWARD on the Council imho. And a fraud at being for anything good, except where it comes to himself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I read that too Aquaman. The whole debate of late seems to be on our side, that's why I haven't devoted a lot of time to this cause. I am impressed with Esther Karp's activism on this issue, as well as the Pentwater politicos, who seem to be a bit more community-oriented than Ludington's.

Important update: The Pentwater City Council did LEAD with a NO VOTE to the wind farms just a few days ago, and set the stage for the Lud. City Council to follow, or be accused of acception of bribery imho. The Scandia Co. has offered a community treasure chest of $$$ to vote them in, and called the Pentwater peeps "defective entities", to show their snobnish intentions to wreck our natural resourse of Lk. Mich. views for eternity. I say Pentwater acted prudently, for the people, and by the peoples wishes. Now, what say the Shay's and Lud. Council, are ya gonna be bribed, like DC and Lanising?, or stand by the peoples wishes?

Didn't she promise we would be "blown away" in a few years back a while ago. This 'lame duck' governor (maybe she was hit by a turbine blade) will gain nothing for her legacy by following that path, IMHO. Let wind power be developed w/o so much government subsidies, on a gradual scale.
