In regard to the Atlantic Wind turbine project in Penn Forest, there should be no disagreements to the project. Because it is clean energy, maybe that is the only area they can install them. I am sure that they do wind speed tests in the area to see if it is cost effective to put them in. When you turn on the light switch or any other gadget, you do not care where the electricity is generated or how it gets there. In the future they are going to phase out coal burning power plants and replace them with wind turbine farms or solar energy farms.

I can tell you that oil companies are cleaning up the environment, because I and my crew traveled all over this country, installing aluminum floating decks inside of gasoline tanks, jet fuel tanks and some chemical tanks. We installed them as close as Tamaqua, as far away as Texas and California. The main purpose of these decks was to eliminate hydrocarbons from evaporating into the atmosphere, which cuts down on greenhouse gases. They also cut down on the cost of gasoline, jet fuel and some chemicals. The price of gasoline could be a lot higher if it was not for the oil companies taking these steps to clean up the environment. It is up to other companies to do their part to save the planet for future generations.
