Re: Offshore Wind Farm - Padre Island
There is concern about these birds that are not doing so great when it comes to numbers. The real fact of the matter has to do with just more than just birds, it has to do with anything and everything that calls North Padre and the surrounding area home. I live in west Texas where we are the home of wind energy and I know first hand the destruction that these turbine companies can do to land. I also know the impact that these companies will have on land that is supposed to be designated to animals that are endangered or call the beaches of North Padre home every year. The destruction ranges from new roads to sub-stations, not to mention camps and new power lines which will run through these designated lands. We need to keep on these companies and make them realize what they are doing is a mistake, not to mention public officials. Like I have told many other people there is a place for these turbines and it is wide open spaces like the hundreds of thousands of acres that is just sitting out here in west Texas. Thank you and please help convince these people what they are doing is wrong.
