Wind Energy Scam To Steal Private Property in Oklahoma : Obama Regime Moves Forward on Energy That Can't Compete in the Marketplace

The Muskogee Phoenix reports on the wind energy scam :

Private property rights took precedence over other concerns Monday as scores of people turned out to comment on a draft environmental impact statement prepared for a proposed clean-energy transmission line.

Those concerns were expressed during one of several public hearings sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy. The hearings are part of the approval process for a high-voltage transmission line that would carry wind-generated electricity from the Oklahoma Panhandle to Tennessee.

The transmission line, which has been in the works since 2010, is being proposed by Clean Line Energy Partners of Houston. The proposed Plains and Eastern Clean Line project represents part of a $2 billion investment, about half of which is expected to be in Oklahoma.

Most of those who spoke in support of the project were representatives of various companies or economic development organizations. They favored the project based upon projected job growth.

Others who spoke in favor included renewable energy advocates who expressed concerns about the impact that fossil fuels have on the environment. But even among the green-energy proponents, there were some with reservations about the 700-mile transmission line.

But owners of property that lies in the path of the proposed transmission line were the most vocal of those who turned out for the public hearing. They stood united in their opposition to the use of eminent domain for the benefit of private business interests.

“I’m opposed to the use of eminent domain,” said David Gray, a property owner from Vian who was protesting outside the Muskogee Civic Center. “I’m not opposed to wind energy. ... I’m opposed to eminent domain.”

Theft of private property for inefficient energy that can't compete in the marketplace. We hope all property involved owns sue.
