DOES RIGHT OR WRONG REALLY MATTER ANY MORE IN COHOCTON? by Robert C. Strasburg II

You might find it interesting to know that the latest information released by the US Dept. of Energy reveals that Wind Power represented only 3/100 of 1% of our energy production nationwide at the end of 2006. (found at: http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/merquery/mer_data.asp?table=T01.02 )

Also, recently revealed was the fact that by the year 2030 after Billions of our tax dollars have been given to government agencies, foreign investors and ruthless Developers, it is projected by the US Department of Energy, that generation of wind Power will still be below 1% of our energy production. That is 23 years from now and Billions of our dollars later. ( found at: http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/aeo/aeoref_tab.html , See Table 1 )

Why are we as a Nation allowing our politicians to steal Billions of our tax dollars in the name of “GREEN ENERGY” and waste them on a technology so meaningless to the cause they claim? This is like the Pentagon’s $600 hammers purchased with our tax dollars, only multiplied exponentially and accelerated by greed and deception. Every one of these turbines erected in Cohocton will be a monument to this crime.

Cohocton has been bribed by supposed promises of income that are not enforceable (Host Agreement ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE, and the Developer may choose, at their discretion, not to pay, with NO LEGAL RECOURSE!) It is already all over the newspapers that UPC disregarded the laws you and I are bound by and started working illegally! Did they get fined like you and I would? No! Nobody wants to tick them off. Why? They may decide not to pay!

We are being SCAMMED! Where does the issue of right and wrong come in to play? Right: Green energy that is efficient and reliable. Right: Protecting Agricultural land and farming from Eminent Domain of an electric corporation. Wrong: Allowing UPC to help write Cohocton Law to benefit whom? Wrong: For the Town of Cohocton and Steuben not to require bonding. Result: Cohocton taxpayers risk paying forever for this mistake.

Proverbs 20:7 says: “Food gained by fraud tastes sweet to a man, but he ends up with a mouth full of gravel”. God help Cohocton… are those of us that are not for being bribed going to have to eat of this gravel also? It is time to elect new officials in Cohocton that are interested in doing what is right, because it is right. I ask for your vote in the Republican Primary on September 18th for Cohocton Town Supervisor. We Republican Reform Cohocton Candidates may not be able to reverse all that has been done to our Town, but we will do our best to protect the residents from the ravages of this ill-conceived development.

Please come to the Wayland-Cohocton Elementary School tonight in Cohocton on September 11th at 7 PM and meet all the Reform Cohocton Candidates. Cohocton can still have a bright future with the right leadership.
