32. Great questions.

I can relate to the increase in trees .....there are at least twice as many on my property as when I moved here. I also try to be aware of the consequences of everything I do, both here and in the outside world.

The township I reside in is currently split on a Texas corporation's intent to put a series of windmills here. I am in favor of windmills in general, but appreciate that this corporation has a shady history, and isn't looking to help a tiny community in rural upstate New York. Both sides of the divide want me to join their side. I'm trying to get both sides to listen to the other.

I think everyone would be in favor of windmills that benefitted the community, rather than just two landowners. Medium-sized windmills, perhaps, rather than the largest type, which have a much shorter "life expectancy."

It's a tough problem that we are all confronted with, from my little community, to the USA, to the world. I know I do not have "the" answer. But I'm confident that if we all put our minds together, we have the best chance of identifying answers. And those need to be based on science, not dollars.
