The Asheville Citizen-Times decided to run this timely article entitled “Poll finds support for WNC mountain wind turbines.”

When was the poll conducted?  April.  The results have been around for months, yet the paper felt it was such a timely issue.

Maybe, just speculating here, the motivation has to do with the concern expressed in the article about how a wind power bill passed by the Senate is “languishing ” in the House.

The newspaper uses the wind power extremists’ talking points about how the Senate bill would limit wind turbines along the Ridge lines.  As I have discussed over and over, the Ridge Law prohibits wind turbines–this new bill would be creating a special exception to allow wind turbines.

This isn’t good enough though for the extremists and Big Wind–they want 500-foot industrial turbines, and nothing short of that is good enough.
