Google Earth…The No Longer Hidden Cost of Coal While many residents and visitors both within and outside the Adirondack Park have voiced opposition to the siting of wind generation within the Park, I would urge them to visit Google Earth on their computer to see how their current power purchases are despoiling someone elses mountain tops - those of Appalachia. Google Earth enables you to fly via your computer not only to your back yard, but also to the mountains of West Virginia. You will be able to see the ongoing permanent destruction of the scenic vistas all across Appalachia caused by Mountain Tops being blown away to provide “cheap” access to coal. Our current power purchases have had and are continuing to have dire consequences. Google Earth has enabled all to see the ongoing destruction of Appalachia that is Not In Our Backyard.
