"that PriceRitePhoto changed their name to Barclayphoto"
I am glad you included a link, you mis-quoted that name. They are using barclaysphoto - with an "s". I know the person that uses barclayphoto, and that person is much more reputable than the priceritephoto guys.
I think you have never been into the real wild areas of the Adirondacks - where there is no road in any direction for 30 miles. (Yes, there are places like that in New York State.)
My comment was actually that there are too many other people in the state that will not allow any kind of development in the Park. I get a kick out of people that extoll the virtues of "forever wild" and then when they want to go visit, they want to drive to the place to see "wild" lands and then get a hotel and use their cellphone to order a pizza. You can have wild OR have cellphones and pizza delivery, not both, unless there are some other ways to get things around without cars, roads, or cell towers.
My parents live within sight of a farm of about 200 towers, and they are not so bad, considering that they will produce enough power to power a good part of Central NY when completed next year. I believe that more replenishable power sources are direly needed in the very near future, or we will have no choice but to reduce power consumption.
"Find rural areas where no one lives and place these windmills on vast tracts of federal or state land."
While that is a good thought, the only places in NY that have no people are in the Adirondack Park, and most of the State-owned lands in that area are designated "Forever Wild." There are no roads or power lines, and plenty of people that live elsewhere in the State that think that is the best way to keep those areas.
