Wind tower lighting will destroy the view

I live on the shores of Lake Ontario, and I look directly at Galloo Island. I am dismayed that the wind project on Galloo has been approved.

I look at that island every day and will learn in time to live with the silhouette of wind towers, but at night the horizon will be polluted with red, blinking lights. The pristine night sky we once knew will be compromised forever. It's doubly annoying that our view and our sense of serenity will have no compensating benefit.

Lyme gets nothing, yet its taxpaying residents suffer the indignity of the project. At the very least, some provision should be made to isolate the red blinking tower lights from land-level visibility. They were mandated for aircraft purposes. Baffles could be built so that the lights would be visible by aircraft only but be invisible from the land. It would be the considerate thing to do, if that means anything anymore.
