There is a new type of turbine, designed to go on top of buildings which uses a cylindrical design rather than a blade design, perhaps that is what they will use. It is apparently much quieter than the blade driven turbines, as well.

Yep, I did make a mistake. I apologize. I was thinking it was the area that once belonged to Beebee and was (under)sold to Dougie without Beebee's knowing who he was selling to(whatever!)
My bad.
My main question still stands, however; just how can anything be built there WITH a wind turbine? From what I have seen of them on NEGO and Discovery, the turbines are HUGE and require quite a bit of clearance. Anyone in the know on wind turbines, know anything different (PLEASE, no history or lectures about their use - I just want that basic questions answered.) I for one, believe in the use of wind turbines and heartily endorse their use IF it can be safely done. Also, what about the eye-sore effect of something like that being in the middle of a down-town area?
Thanks and I do apologize for my mistake earlier.

Ford is obviously confused.
He/she seems to think the site in question is on south Main, when in fact it is the one located at SIXTH AND JACKSON.
Right next to (south of) OTTO"S PRODUCE, diectly (west of) across Jackson from SUN RENTAL, which is located on the east side of south Jackson, one block south (that's toward Lewiston) of the traffic lights at SIXTH AND JACKSON. (Traffic klights are those pole thingies with different colored lights on them that make traffic stop and go, most of the time)
They are talking about the bins that WERE NOT TORN DOWN. (They are the big whitish colored things, with big, round, silverish colored metal things on either side, which during the holidays have a lit star on top of them.)
Got it now Ford?
Facts: They are amazing things. Understand them. Use them. Love them.

WTF does this have to do with Doug Wilson? The Anderson Group is exploring various options and ideas. Some may come to fruition and some not. From my brief conversation with John Anderson several months ago, I got the impression that they were very sincere about trying to do everything in an environmental and people friendly way. They are attempting to address some of Moscow's needs and to enhance the downtown area. They should be commended and not attacked. If you still feel the need to attack, I suggest you wait until they submit plans to the public and the city. That way you may actually have a clue as to what is actually going on. Until then, I would recommend that you temper your 'enthusiasm'. Of course that's just my opinion and you will carry on as you see fit.
Now I must get my morning caffeine fix before I read any more inflammatory emails from vision2020 ...

Clue here, dude - it said "MAY" include....those are words used by Dougie and his bunch when they want to make things look one way but have an option to be another. IOW - gives them an out if they don't come through as hoped.
BTW - just how would they be able to do everything they want on such a small space? Or are they planning on taking over Gritman, tearing it down and THEN putting up a wind Turbine? Just not sure where they could put something THAT big along with a building on the same site.
Would welcome any "concrete" and solid answers from the great white (NOT!) hope, aka, Dougie and his "hood"....won't get it, but one can always hope.
