Snark aside, the ascension of the former Lt. Gov. David Paterson could very well mean good things for environmental progress.

Five reasons to oppose wind farms According to Wired.	Chris Schults	06 Jan 2006	Gristmill
Your property value will decrease. They're ugly. You'll hear noises similar to those Nazi troops used to torture Jews with during the holocaust. They'll cause strokes.
