Jay Peak and Burke are going to make a very powerful marketing team.

I'm not sure what wind turbine Burke won for but if it's those turbines near Lake Willoughby I have to give it a thumbs down. What an unbelievable eyesore for such an unbelievably beautiful place.

Can I interest you in a slightly used nuclear reactor (some water damage), or maybe a coal burning electric generating station?

Everything in life is a compromise.

Check out Costa Rica some time. The generate a very large chunk of their nation's electric via wind turbines. It's a sight to see.

Now, if it started to interfere with upslope snow, then we could talk.

We drove through Spain a few years ago, 21% of their electricy comes from wind. Amazing to see these things in the country, not an eyesore at all.

Re: Burke

They installed a single wind turbine on the summit of the mountain.

The Sheffield project has nothing to do with Burke.
