Supervisors need to be voted out next time around They've shown they can't make a decision on important issues. now each time some company wants to put up wind farms the property owners will be forced to fight each & every case that comes along & will most likely loose out to the "Big Money Companies"

Good guy (Scrivner), bad guy (McQuiston). That was the game they played and the rest of those ignorant looser Supervisors fell right into place. The white haired guy must have been sleeping through the presentation because his comment was that the opposition was worried about the view, trivializing the citizen's year long quest stop vendors from installing and operating wind turbines 900 feet from their homes. Feeling the ground vibrating when people go outdoors, shadow flicker from the rotating propellers into homes and noise coming into our homes through our windows and ventilation is non-trivial. It is also serious that 10-20 hawks are being hit by turbines every single day in one location alone according to one of my reliable sources. Those vendor's rights end where their property line ends, not in our homes. Every one of those supervisors and vendors belong in prison.

As usual the Supervisors took the chicken chit way out and chose Option C . Although I would have like to see Zack Scrivner go for Option B, I can handle his choice of Option A. Bottom line is that as each new Wind Farm expansion or net new Farm is proposed, the Supervisors are going to be faced with the fight of the people directly impacted/against, as they have been all this time. But, we all know that until these Turbines directly impact one of the other Supervisors district, they could care less what happens to the other districts. Thanks to Zack for not caving in to the majority.

I have been aware of the wind industry decisions by Kern County Board of Supervisors for years. When it comes to wind turbine impacts, they have shown time and time again that they are complete idiots or totally corrupt. Just look at the damn mess they have made of the Tehachapi region. But regardless of how one feels about them for creating industrial bone-yards out of pristine ecosystems and letting elitist property owners destroy the property values of their neighbors, there are places in society for these types of people. One of them is officiating for the NFL.
