This Project is backed by Australian investors (motivated by our tax payers subsidy) that hired a Colorado based Company (Scout Energy) to erect 244 wind machines 671 feet tall for 24 miles on private wheat farms, protected Lewis and Clark Heritage Trail along a ridge/canyon area. These are placed in the Pacific Flyway migration path, degrading the shrub steppe ecosystem (federally protected birds and plants.) There is no energy/economic impact of this project other than the out of state user or large corporation that will benefit from purchasing a "green energy source" with transferable tax credits to another facility not meeting energy guidelines (no penalty.) Other states denied this project. Our local authorities and public were bypassed input and it was directly placed in Olympia and the  WA. Governor. Currently, our community, the Tri-Cities ,is waiting for the state to deliver an environmental impact statement and need to be ready to submit testimony from citizens, tourists (local and out of state)  objections of 1/environmental destruction 2/bypassing the community 3/not biodegradable 4/climate impacting 5/local economic impacting. Harvard University (2018) provided data that local temperatures will rise 3-4 annually. Negatively impacting our wine and agriculture, higher energy bills for consumers. Currently Europeans are rethinking this minimum producing wind turbine energy and beginning to dismantle them. European data points to health hazards including the environmental impact (Netherlands and Germany dismantling has begun) Please sign our petition so our community can send our "voice" to the state government we want a choice to determine our future.
