SPEAK OUT! Email or write a letter to local and state politicians. Don’t be intimidated – these politicians work for you!
It is imperative that you email or send a letter to Attorney General Roy Cooper stating your support for his 2002 interpretation of the Ridge Law; state your belief that wind turbines are not wind mills and are not exempt from the 1983 NC Mountain Ridge Protection Act.

Email or send a letter to newspaper editors around the state. They have the power to inform the public; however, the majority of these newspapers are wind energy advocates because they have been misled by false information from the Wind Industry. They must be informed of the research that proves wind energy is a failed technology.
Most newspapers require your name, full address, and daytime phone number with a letter (if your letter is published; only your name and town will be printed).
Issues to Address in Your Letters
- Huge costs to the taxpayers
- Tax credits to the Wind Developers
- A failed technology that does not provide reliable energy
- Lowered property values
- Environmental destruction
- Adverse effects on tourism and the local economy
- Decreased quality of life for the community
- Needless destruction of a NC Treasure
Feel free to use information from our “Wind Energy Faqs” page to help you write your letters.

Help protect our ridge tops from destruction by the
Wind Industry!
Remember – the wind doesn’t blow all the time; however, the wind developers do!

In your letter to the County Commissioners encourage them to prohibit industrial scale wind plants. |
