I've been driving by this area a couple of times a year for a long time, so I was surprised to see all the windmills that weren't there last year. I counted over 50 windmills visible along a short section of road just southwest of Lowville. There are over a hundred already built in the Maple Ridge Wind Farm, with plans to have 195 by the end of 2006. The area is on the Tug Hill plateau, which gets a lot of wind from the west over Lake Ontario.
