Massachusetts has twenty one communities with poorly placed wind turbines. Falmouth Massachusetts is ground zero for poorly placed wind turbines in the United States. Many of the citizens of these communities have been made second class citizens losing their health and property rights under the blades of these turbines.

The second class citizens are those who have had their health and property rights systematically taken community after community with no compensation. These individuals in the twenty one communities have been discriminated within their own towns while the state for years has continued to ignore state noise regulations to advance a commercial wind turbine renewable energy agenda.

State and local officials are spending valuable time helping to create sanctuary locations for immigrants while taking the American dream of home ownership from its own citizens living under the turbines. The neighbors describe the noise as torture from lack of sleep and unable to work in their yards when the turbines spin.

Neighbors of wind turbines are subject to mistreatment or neglect at the hands of their putative superiors because they lack the financial ability to hire law firms to fight for their rights. The Massachusetts Clean Energy Center in 2013 agreed to help the Town of Falmouth pay for its litigation fees against the residents who lost their health and property rights. You might say the residents are being shot with tax money they paid the state and now the state is using the tax money to outspend the neighbors in court.

Massachusetts has ignored thousands of certified written noise complaints over decibels levels above state regulations. Instead of being protected by the law, the law disregards the second-class citizens, or it may actually be used to harass them to make them move out of their homes.

Systems with de facto second-class citizenry are generally regarded as violating human rights.

The common complaint from wind turbines is the turbines cause a flickering of the sun as it passes through the blades, headaches, sleep problems, anxiety and depression.

Residents describe the noise as a type of torture from lack of sleep and describe the noise as a feeling.

Several weeks ago residents in the Bourne - Plymouth area complained the noise was so audible in homes the houses actually vibrated.

Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey is faced with two Democratic agendas, immigrants and wind turbines.

One gives sanctuary to foreign citizens the other takes the health and property rights of Massachusetts citizens who thought they had achieved the American dream of home ownership.
