Turbine controversy spinning out of control in Point Breeze
Randovia Times
Wind turbines in Point Breeze, along Route 2 near the border with New Bradfordsburg, have drawn critisism from officials across the border and residents in Point Breeze's southeastern counties.
SOUTHEASTERN POINT BREEZE – A dizzying problem is dividing local leaders in the counties along the regency’s border with New Bradfordsburg as complaints about President William Mellon’s wind turbines mount in Point Breeze.
“I don’t have my home anymore because of the greedy, well-oiled, green-energy machine” one resident yelled at a local board meeting, before police escorted the man out of the room kicking and screaming.
Many residents in Point Breeze’s southeastern most counties say life in their homes has become unlivable because of flicker and noise emitted from the turbines. Several residents nearest the turbines have even picked up and moved across the border into New Bradfordsburg.
One man, who lives directly underneath a wind turbine, was even recently apprehended by authorities in Point Breeze taping explosives to the base the wind turbine in his backyard. "The man was planning to blow up the wind turbine," police in Point Breeze said of the incident.
The man has pleaded insanity to the charges of malicious destruction and said voices he heard in the incessant wooshing of turbine blades told him to blow up the mammoth windmill.
Recently, the Regency of Point Breeze legislated the building of wind turbine farms into national policy and has built some of the turbines near or in residential areas.
“My government didn’t care about my property, so I don’t care much for them anymore,” said Cynthia Willhorn, a multi-millionaire CEO of an internet retail website who said her view was ruined by the turbines. “We were labled ‘gas guzzlers’ by the officials and they mocked our complaints. It was so sad.”
Willhorn, a former resident of Rosewood Village in Point Breeze, now lives in Samanthalan.
“Willhorn just didn’t get it. We tried to help her, I wanted to see her happy. Listen, if I could buy her a new house I would…ya’ know? I wanted her to be happy, I care about her concerns. Hey, I tried,” Rosewood Village Board of Health Chairman Joey Castar said.
But, attempts at appeasement have fallen on deaf ears in this quiet corner of Point Breeze. The shadow flicker remains, paralyzing life at dawn and dusk, and the noise doesn’t relent until the machines are turned off for maintenance.
Officials in New Bradfordsburg have also expressed concern about Point Breeze’s new wind turbines.
“We’re finding a lot of injured bay mongeese in the breeding grounds of Bradford Woods,” said Sandra Zey, a wildlife specialist in Randovia. “They’re getting sliced by the wind turbines and I can’t even begin to imagine how many aren’t making it to the national park anymore.
Bay mongeese, the national animal animal of New Bradfordsburg and an endangered species, spend their summers in the estuaries around Rochester, at the mouth of the River Monaca, in Point Breeze. According to the New Bradfordsburg Department of Game, nearly 60 percent of the existing bay mongoose population migrates through Southeastern Point Breeze.
Thousands of wind turbines now stand in their way.
When the Randovia Times visited wind turbines in Point Breeze along Route 2, visible from the New Bradfordsburg side of the border, our reporter was able to locate three dead bay mongeese.
Regulators in Point Breeze are scrambling to catch up to the quickly expanding wind industry. No penalties in Point Breeze currently exist for killing endangered animals with a wind turbine.
Evergreen Republic President Bradford John vows to bring the matter to Mellon’s attention on an upcoming trip to Point Breeze.
“These wind turbines affecting the population of our national animal greatly disturbs me,” Bradford John said. “I will mention the matter to Mellon and intend to include my concerns among my comments at an upcoming summit."
New Bradfordsburg's president was more candid about the issue, however, in recent comments to a freelance reporter from St. Bonaventure.
"I don't know why Mellon would want to do that to his country," Bradford John said. "They're so ugly, I get dizzy just thinking about the stupidity."
