windpower debate
After last week’s screening of Beyond Quixote a woman told me that the very idea of windmills is at odds with what she knows as the soul-restoring beauty of this island. She is from California and argued that nobody would do anything like this to Big Sur. Fair enough. When I mentioned the household budget-restoring idea of cutting back on my energy bills, someone else tossed in the idea that more than a few years would pass before a windmill actually paid for itself and began bringing me any true savings.
This is the joy of people gathering in a room and kicking around an issue concerning how we live. It is exactly what this excercise is all about. In fact this page is set up as a place to continue that discussion. So we encourage you to leave a message and be part of it.
It always seem to me that most of the small conflicts on this island contain a sort of tug-of-war between aesthetic values (natural beauty or history) and everyday life concerns. Is that what we are looking at here? I have heard that Sustainable Nantucket is working out some ideas. This is the place to keep that discussion going.
Thanks to everyone who made it to the Atheneum for last weeks screening. We will try to have the two films we screened on the website in the next week or so.
