PlanetGreen101 asks:
In a town not far from Utica, New York there are acres and acres of wind turbines for as far as the eye can see. An you would think that the energy they create is actually going to the town they're in...right? NO! More than half the power the turbines create is going to New York City!So in the small little town that I live in, Albany County, NY they are debating to put up wind turbines. This has been going on for a few months now and I am starting to think:
Are the wind turbines that they put up going to benefit us, or is it all just going to New York City also? I was all for this until that question can into my mind.
