Windfall

A new documentary that premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, could take the sails out of wind power. The film observes the deeply divided residents of Meredith, New York an Upstate farm community in decline as they debate the pros and cons of allowing wind turbines on their land. Local proponents champion the promise of green energy and monetary compensation, while detractors question the efficiency of wind-generated energy and the drawbacks of living among 400-foot tall towers with gigantic rotating blades.
