Is anyone else as surprised as I am to get an email from GOAL about the wind farms?

What is goal's stance on the windfarm? it's not posted on their site, and I don't get their emails(for some reason). Personally, I don't see anything wrong with it, and people need to grow up. This NIMBY mentality is why we got into as much of an energy mess as we are in. If there were more nuclear reactors, we'd be paying PENNIES for electricity, but instead we're paying tons. This windfarm would help solve some problems.

There's something creepily awesome about wind farms. At least the big ones in west Texas.
You haven't seen wind farms until you see the dutch and belgium country side along the german border. Massive stretches of them for miles.
True - I've seen them, they are impressive.
So why in this country do we tend to suggest to put turbines off the cost of the Cape, or on the Empire State building? Why cant we put them on the sides of the roads in remote-ish places? Do we think wind farms will gain traction in the US if we want to put them in the most scenic places we can think of?
I'm against closing the waters between the cape and islands to put up a wind farm - you think getting to the airport gate is tough? try fishing near the airport waters...
wind power should be placed close to the load it serves - the footprint of the equipment etc. are a consideration.

Color me confused, but why would an organization called the 'Gun Owners Action League' have any opinion on wind farms? Maybe the more relevent question would be why would anyone care that GOAL had an opinion on wind farms?
.It is over the fast tracking process which could be abused to close off hunting areas or close gun clubs if sites are chosen in those locations. So the opposition is not to the wind farms, but to the fast track permitting Deval wants to put in place.
