Power generated by Wells County wind farms will NEVER be used by anyone in the school district, county or even the state. All power generated by these turbines will be transferred to states like New York on the eastern coast of the US, using us as an industrial park to satisfy their hunger for energy. These wind mill companies told our school board officials that the school will be making tons of profits off the taxes that will be collected on these turbines. There only two problems with these allegations. One – while the figures that these companies are projecting look quite tempting, they are numbers that add up over periods of time. Two – because of these turbines going up, property value for people living in the area plummets, weakening tax collected by the school on district property value. In essence, not only could the school be losing money on this deal, but you could too. If your family had the need to move out of your current home that they had built for say $250,000 two or three years ago, they could be selling as low as $200,000 a very diminished margin. Up to 25% of your current property value gone, not because your property changed, but because the surrounding area was altered by companies who decided to put literally hundreds of giant machines to surround you.
