Seven towering wind turbines that were providing New Yorkers with clean energy were just torn down, though perhaps not for the reasons you might think. Contrary to the opinion of some politicians, wind turbines are, in fact, not negatively affecting our health either, so health concerns also did not factor into the demolition. Instead, the wind turbines were demolished because it was becoming too expensive to maintain them. The seven turbines were early prototypes and part of New York's first-ever commercial wind farm, standing for over two decades in Madison County. The structures weren't the Empire State's only wind turbines, though, and New York still has several offshore wind projects.
