It is our mission to protect the health, assets and quality of life of the residents in Henderson as well as the environment and natural resources. We are a group of concerned Henderson property owners whose mission is to inform our friends, family and neighbors in Henderson about the tremendous impacts an industrial utility scale wind project will bring to our area.

The ultimate decision on the placement and likelihood of an industrial wind turbine facility being placed throughout Henderson rests in the hands of the Henderson Town Board. We demand the town governing bodies concerning this project to be well informed, ethical, legal, honest and fair… and include the input of all property owners and residents of Henderson.

We promote smarter alternative energy sources that do provide sound scientific solutions. Wind turbines do not make technical sense, economic sense, or environmental sense. Wind turbine facilities are of high cost and low benefit. The minimal energy actually will go out of this area.
