I decided to include two possible locations in New York. I chose NY because of the huge power drain generated by the city. My first choice is Lyme, NY. It is on the mainland and has good road networks and lines exist to handle the voltage generated. My second choice was on Stony Island. This would require new lines to be built and higher cost for maintenance (by boat or helicopter). The majority of locations that had Excellent raitings for wind power were over open water. My only concern with these locations would be the winter weather. Uprades in technology could help with this problem. An example would be the same device that aircraft use to prevent icing on the wings during flight. Both of these locations would require the owner of the land's permission. The petroleum company could use this as an opportunity to show that they truly are looking to help with the Green Earth push.
