THE MONSTERS HAVE ARRIVED! (how did SCE GREEN POWER become A MONSTER TOWER?)


“SCE” and the way they are destroying Chino Hills (and many other city’s) with their massive 200 FT towers is insane!!! Chino Hills was a beautiful rural looking place, just beautiful, but not no more! SCE put up these 200 foot towers right down the middle of the city with no regard for human life. These massive towers cary 500000 watts, more wattage than any towers in the US and they are right next to homes!! SCE could of easily moved the route but they didn’t care what the city & people wanted and still put the towers down the heart of the town. And if that weren’t enough (using families as gini pigs) the home vales are now plummeting! SCE Tehachapi Renewable Transmission Project SCE is as evil as it gets, they know many people (KIDS) will now get Leukemia cause of their blatant disregard of human life and their hunger for the almighty dollar! SCE should be ashamed but I know they aren’t cause you have to have heart and soul to feel ashamed, and SCE has neither!

“BIRD STRIKE” — WINDMILLS ARE KILLING THOUSANDS OF BIRDS


Green Energy Hypocrisy: “California’s wind farms kill more than 80 Eagles per year and thousands of other birds daily, prompting calls by environmental groups for better wind power management…….” (Fox News Video Description) AS REPORTED by William La Jeunesse of FOX NEWS from Tehachapi, California, on August 16, 2011: video.foxnews.com Also refer to WALL STREET JOURNAL ARTICLE of 9/7/2009: “WINDMILLS ARE KILLING OUR BIRDS” (One standard for oil companies, another for green energy sources) online.wsj.com This is infuriating! We can close a river to protect one fish and rope off a forest to protect one owl, but when it comes to BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, we have no problem sacrificing THOUSANDS of birds including protected ones without any consequences. What total and disgusting hypocrisy by the promoters of ‘clean green’ energy! :(
