Now is the time for Greenburgh to start looking into windmills. We are waiting too long to get this type of an alternate method of getting electricity.
Most of the homes in Greenburgh are all electric .
This company has been the only one supplying Greenburgh and other areas with their service.
Yes we could go to another company that Con Edison reccommends,have you tried it.
It's for the birds in the long run one pays more.
Have you supervisor looked into New york State power and Light.
Most of municipal buildings have them as their suppliers.
No one thought that in an area like ours we would have so many communication companies at our finger tips now check how many we have.Each one giving us a better rate than the other.
The town has all that property at Taxter rd. why not put it to good use to service the people of Greenburgh and if possible sell what we dont use.
Con edison is hanging us because we have nowhere to turn.

Let's be the first to fight for better rates and a cheaper form of electricity here in Greenburgh.
We have the land to do this so what are we waiting for.

If you think getting into the electrical power supply industry is just a matter of putting up a couple of windmills, think again.
Con Ed doesn't even want to be in that business - they want to be the one delivering the electricity, not the one making it!
And they have a strong monopoly position on delivering electricity - they own the power lines, and will continue to do so until socialism triumphs and the government confiscates all private property.
Spend your personal energy on things like conserving energy and reducing your own carbon footprint.

What harm is there in checking with the companies that are putting up windmills to see what the cost is and how it is distributed.
Yes the government has to step in to help us.
Taxes are as high as the sky,gasoline is going up and up and now Con Edison wants a raise.
How are we to survive in todays world.
Paul with your contacts in Albany someone should come to our aid.
If you know whom we could contact please advise us.

These are not Town matters; they're State and County concerns. The Greenburgh as a Township has no input, but the citizens certainly do, so participate in the PSC forum regarding ConEd and the County forum regarding the Bronx River Parkway.

Mr. Feiner: I'm happy that you're interested in these matters, but you, also, need to participate as a private citizen. The Town's government has so much on its plate anyway; to be duplicating others' work isn't appropriate.
