Windfall

This is an excellent and balanced view of what can happen when a huge multi-national corporation targets your community for an industrial wind power generation facility. In this case, the townspeople decide to learn more on their own and look beyond the wind company's hype about "green" and "clean" and they discovered the potential for health problems, environmental impact, and the extent to which the development would change their community. In fact, just having the proposal changed the community--probably forever--as it pits people against one another.

For some, all they had to know was that they would be getting a cheque. Others wanted to know what the impact would be from having the huge industrial structures in their community. A key issue was how the elected officials saw their role: take the money or protect the community? Very thoughtful, and well done.
