I know of an island — do you know it? A marvelous green gem right up the road. A place where my family takes special walks — Sears Island. Should we basically kill this island to save Mother Earth? The latest proposal for Sears Island is as high tech as humanity gets — and wind power is truly needed for our planet. But why sacrifice this emerald gem when right across the water on the west side we could use Mack Point? It’s already industrialized, and there’s ample room there for the wind port. It would function just as admirably. No amount of money and no human engineering could ever recreate Sears Island. Build the wind port at Mack Point. ~ Sally C. Jones, Stockton Springs
