Wind

When Gamesa Energy, a renewable energy windmill company from Spain, took interest in Lilly, a small town in the mountains of Pennsylvania, many of residents were apprehensive about the environmental risks and business ethics of a company they had never heard of. Gamesa provided little forum for public debate, instead choosing to push land-owners into signing long-term lease agreements with little long-term monetary reward. Having disturbed miles of property near state game lands with new roads, large truck traffic, and construction, our quiet woodland area has been forever lost. However, little did we expect, the greatest safety concerns would be falling from the sky...

Now, considering the immediate destruction to land and long-term safety risks these windmills cause, tell me again why Gamesa could not provide free or discounted electricity to residents of this small town?
