Mass Democrat Deval Patrick "Only Following Wind Turbine Orders"

The legacy of former Massachusetts Governor Patrick will be he was "only following orders" from the National Democratic Party.

Massachusetts Democrats today are faced with the legacy of a failed commercial wind turbine renewable energy agenda gone terribly wrong.

Embarrassed politicians and main stream news media editors are in a massive news blackout of the commercial wind health and financial fiasco that has left Massachusetts struggling because of misdirecting valuable infrastructure money into a failed wind turbine “Agenda.” Massive amounts of stimulus funds, bond borrowing and renewable energy tax money was diverted to the blunder led by former Governor Deval Patrick.


The news media is reporting the news by omission. The average Jill and Joe taxpayers remain unaware that their lives don’t matter. You will read or see a story about a cat stuck in a tree in the newspaper or on evening news before your told of the health and financial crisis created by the Massachusetts Democratic Party Agenda and former Governor Deval Patrick.

Falmouth is the latest wind turbine health and financial fiasco to be hidden and buried by the main stream media. The Massachusetts Clean Energy Center though the leadership of former Gover Patrick is financing the legal defense of the Town of Falmouth for the poor placement of two megawatt wind turbines in that town. The MassCEC and town have spent more money on a legal defense of the turbines than the original costs of the turbines.


The Massachusetts Technology Collaborative today called the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center bought two Vestas V 82 commercial 1.65 megawatt wind turbines in 2004 at taxpayer expense. The cost of the two turbines in one package was 5.2 million dollars.

The result is the Falmouth Town Meeting Members are being asked to tell taxpayers to produce up to 300 thousand dollars every 6 months at town meetings. Falmouth has another town meeting coming up in April. The town is facing over 7 lawsuits over the wind turbines that they knew were too loud in 2010 but hid the noise warning from Vestas for 5 years. The MassCEC admitted three years after the installation the noise tests were faulty.


The media is well aware former Governor Patrick used a fake email address sally.reynolds@state.ma.us in order to avoid Freedom of Information Requests about talks with commercial wind turbine contractors. The email address was brought up at the corruption trial of the father of the Green Communities Act former convicted Massachusetts Speaker of the House Sal DiMasi. DiMasi a henchman to the wind turbine projects is still in a federal prison today.


Massachusetts has twenty one communities with poorly sited commercial wind turbines. The latest wind project is in Plymouth where several towns may be in court against each other over noise. The Plymouth project was started under the Governor Patrick administration and its war on fossil fuels in which the citizens, Jill and Joe taxpayers have become the victims.


The news media continues to hide Governor Patrick and the incomplete New Bedford Marine Commerce Terminal a so called ocean wind turbine port.The terminal at the hurricane gate only has a legal opening of 120 feet in which ocean wind turbine “jack- up “ barges won’t fit. The port has no rail link or heavy lifting cranes and the port remains unleased. The cost of the bonds are $ 187,500.00 a month for 30 years and guess who is paying for this “mistake. “ Jill and Joe taxpayers. Massachusetts politicians call the New Bedford ocean wind turbine port complete in an effort to hide the finacial fiasco and bonding burden on Massachusetts taxpayers.


Massachusetts taxpayers you Jill and Joe should have seen the handwriting on the wall with Evergreen Solar. Under Governor Patrck Evergreen Solar was given hundreds of millions in tax incentives and cash from the state of Massachusetts. The company filed federal bankruptcy and moved to China with your money no strings attached. Governor Patrick called the move to China as a green energy triump as the company was still bulding solar panels in China. Again Massachusetts taxpayers paid for the “Agenda .”


The news media has always known former Governor Patrick was on the board of Ameriquest that sold over $45 billion in sub-prime loans to Lehman Brothers and other Wall Street firms and led to the massive financial failures, lost jobs and high unemployment. The news media today is faced with the past policies of a failed renewable energy agenda led by former Governor Patrick another massive failure only this time using commercial wind turbines as the weapon of choice.


Massachusetts green journalism has used lurid features and sensationalized climate change to attract readers. The journalism exaggerates, distorts and omits any bad news about your health, property takings for the greater good and your money for the agenda.They took your health and property rights with land based wind turbines & now your money with ocean wind turbines.


What happens when the general public ,Jill and Joe, realize Governor Patrick and the Massachusetts Democratic Party Platform for years wasted billions of dollars on a failed commercial wind turbine agenda. The agenda has taken the health, property rights and valuable infrastructiure money for a failed agenda.

Deval Patrick was “Only Following Orders.” Now you the taxpayers are stuck with a catastrohic health and finacial fiasco.

The news media asks why no one buys the newspaper anymore- maybe if they printed the truth people like Jill and Joe would buy the newspapers ........
