To the editor:
I want to thank The Salem News for its coverage of developments around the proposed wind turbine on Winter Island, and for its poll on this, where I proudly voted yes — yes, Winter Island is the right place for a wind turbine. I am confident concerns can be dealt with, and that technologies have advanced to the point that quiet, safe functioning is attainable.
I am proud of Salem for working toward this exciting development, which has the potential to begin to set this town on the course for clean, safe energy. The power plant is from an earlier era, and its day is passing.
I am grateful to Mayor Kim Driscoll and the members of the committee who have devoted time and resources to exploring the feasibility of this new wind turbine. It is time for us to pull together as a community and support a positive, sustainable future for this great little town.
