OK, OK, Mr. Albrecht. I didn't mean to suggest that this would <u><i>replace</i></u> contacting our reps. I just assumed everyone here was already contacting their reps. I also realize this site may be little more than a gimmick. So what? In the time it took you to write your comment you could have made an entry on the Cantor site. The only difference is that making an entry on the Cantor site couldn't hurt.

"Because the Cantor website is a gimmick" --- I strongly disagree. The 2,000 wind turbines that John Elias Baldacci and Kurt Adams rammed through a sleeping legislature are a gimmick. Future Majority Leader Eric Cantor, who incidentally was not up for election this year, is making this available for the citizenry to weigh in, so let's take Gary Campbell up on his advice. It can't possibly hurt and if enough of us weigh in, it may very well help. Using this website to discourage fellow citizens…

It can't possibly hurt and if enough of us weigh in, it may very well help. Using this website to discourage fellow citizens to take action is counterproductive and quite frankly, way out of line. I would also add, that now that we have a new Governor and a newly composed legislature, in addition to contacting Maine's federal delegation, contacting the Governor and Legislature is also something everyone should do.

Because the Cantor website is a gimmick. Its intended to make you think you have had some influence on the decisions that will be made. Its intended to make you feel good. Your feeling good will not stop the construction of a single industrial wind turbine.

"Stop subsidizing grid scale wind power projects and the massive transmission lines they require. Without the ability to store electricity cost effectively wind power is simply a waste of money, as other, reliable generators must always be on line to regulate wind's intermittancy. The "green economy" is a subsidy dependent fantasy. Let's concentrate on the real economy." (I agree with Jonathan Abrecht that contacting reps and senators is more effective but why not do both?)
