I chose an area on the eastern side of Lake Ontario. The turbines could be located far enough offshore to alleviate concerns of noise, shadow, and aesthetics. This is an area of interest for the New York Power Authority for wind energy. This area had less conflict with migration routes and a class 3 to 4 mean annual wind. It would be accessible for maintenance and offer possible economic benefit for locals.
