ACTION ALERT! ACTION ALERT! ACTION ALERT! ACTION ALERT! Congress recently extended Federal tax credits for wind energy development. This will enable wind developers to begin construction on approved projects on the Allegheny Front. We must contact the WV Public Service Commission and Congressmen Rahall and Mollohan and insist on a construction moratorium on wind turbine projects in WV. For model letters and other information, see October 8, 2004 Alert on www.responsiblewind.org.

Keep Dolly Sods Wild! 200 WINDMILLS UP TO 465 FEET TALL ARE PLANNED Friends of the Allegheny Front was formed
in response to a planned commercial wind energy
facility consisting of approximately 200 wind turbines up to 465 feet
tall to be constructed on the crest of the Allegheny Front beginning near
Bear Rocks. The wind farm will impact scenic areas in the Dolly Sods view
shed, farms and private properties in the Allegheny Fore Knobs, and valleys
and ridges beyond. |

Friends
of the Allegheny Front wants to preserve the environmentally sensitive
areas, protect and enhance community character and aesthetics, and ensure
the protection of endangered species and migratory birds. We are concerned
about health and safety considerations including fire hazards, tower failure,
electromagnetic fields, noise, air navigation safety, and the potential
for declining property values resulting from this project. |
