These things have no value to the community. They are unsightly and the surrounding land can be used for NOTHING. Do we really want to see these monstrosities at our skyline? You people that want this have ruined this area forever.

These large wind turbines do not produce the level of electricity expected. They are ugly, will definitely adversely impact property values over time and will destroy the natural beauty of the area. Maintenance costs are extremely high as well as replacement and disposal when the useful life has been reached. Property values must be protected. These people have NO RIGHT to change the details to meet their own agenda. Go with what the county supervisors agreed to.

I see no redeeming value for Chowan County. We do not share in the energy produced, the payment to the county and the number of jobs created are minimal. But even if these were 10X, the impact of these wind farms on quality of life, property values and even on our wildlife are onerous. The county could lose even further if residents leave because they find them intolerable. We voted strongly against these wind farms on our coastline and are even more strenuously against them in our own back yard.

Don't want to see my county ruined by these things! People need to think about damages to the environment and our health, instead of thinking about money!!!!

From what I am reading and researching I am not in favor ... Canada has had serious health issues ... birds are at risk... property values.... appears their lifespan is only about 20 yrs... noise..etc...

This project should be put on hold until more is known about 600' turbines and the effects on birds and bats. Turbines this height have only been used in the US for a short time. They can be very dangerous in a hurricane or tornado which are possible in this area. I predict a future of law suits and many people leaving Chowan County if this is approved.

I do not want these anywhere where it will effect my quality of everyday life or my property value. Chowan county has already made a negative impact in both my quality of life and property value to this point PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS TO US.You will continue to drive people away from Chowan County if you do not consider our feelings concerning this matter.

Don't just sign the petition! Attend the County Commissioners meeting and let them know how you feel. Seeing all our faces is the only way we will succeed!
