Breaking News : New Bedford Ocean Wind Terminal

Journalistic integrity should not even be brought into question there is none.

Breaking News : New Bedford Ocean Wind Turbine Terminal

Massachusetts January 31, 2015

Folks, the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center changed its name from the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative after the purchase and sale of two Vestas V 82 commercial 1.65 megawatt turbines sold to the Falmouth area in 2010.

The result has been an admission by the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center it placed wind turbines Ad Hoc prior to 2013.

The state semi quasi agency changed its name to avoid the embarrassment over the purchase and sale of the turbines to Falmouth resulting in making people sick from lack of sleep from a noise described as torture.

Thousands of certified written noise complaints have been received statewide.

The news media would have you believe thousands of people are in some kind of mass hysteria.

The poor placement of land based commercial wind turbines taking the health and property rights of citizens has finally entered the court systems and public opinion has swayed against the poor placement of commercial wind turbines. The legal actions against the poor placement of commercial wind turbines in residential neighborhoods is taking place despite the news media portraying abutters to commercial wind turbines as loud obnoxious not in my back yard out of control residents.

Today the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center has been changing the name of the New Bedford ocean wind turbine port in an effort to hide the misuse of valuable state infrastructure funds and resources.

The Massachusetts Clean Energy Center will no longer comment on the Cape Wind lease at the New Bedford Marine Commerce Terminal. The MassCEC will no longer comment on a completion date and how much more the project will cost going into “phase two.”


The news media is has made the choice not to print any further news about the massive financial fiasco.You are not going to get any bad news from any Massachusetts news outlets.


Journalistic integrity should not even be brought into question there is none.


Journalist have allowed themselves to become part of an essential act of corruption. The news media themselves have become partners with corporations and political groups.

The New Bedford Marine Commerce Terminal needs to be exposed and brought to the light of day.


The news media outlets aren’t going to tell you they themselves owned some of the toxic property at the New Bedford Marine Commerce Terminal maybe this is why they won’t tell the public what is going on at the construction site.


Cape Wind never had a permit from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, BOEM, to build and construct wind turbines in New Bedford. Massachusetts politicians testified to state bonding committees that they were 100 percent sure Cape Wind would build their wind turbines in New Bedford . The news media will never follow up on the trail of 124 million dollars thrown into New Bedford Harbor.


The public has never been informed there is still an AM radio station on 4 acres of the property and you the taxpayer are paying to move it. The news media when showing aerial pictures of the 28 acre site somehow always manage to leave out the 4 acres with the radio antenna. How much does it cost to move a radio station ? They will never tell you


How about the the rail link a mile away ?

The Massachusetts Clean Energy Center will only say it is now part of “phase two.”

The news is reporting that the New Bedford Marine Commerce Terminal is only a few weeks from opening.

How about the legal entrance to New Bedford Harbor only has a legal 120 foot wide clearance at the hurricane gate .

The Jack Up barges to build the turbines won’t fit through the gates.

The Federal channel outside the hurricane gates needs to be dredged five miles out to the ocean.

How will the EPA dredging of 1 million cubic yards of PCBs in New Bedford Harbor effect construction

New Bedford Marine Commerce Terminal construction and lease questions are now being protected by the news media again just like the poor placement of land based wind turbines.This time the ocean wind turbine port is taking hundreds of millions of dollars from unsuspecting Massachusetts taxpayers.

The news media needs to take credit for the lack of investigative journalism and the failure to inform the public over the massive renewable energy failures in Massachusetts.

The Massachusetts Clean Energy Center is the owner of the ongoing New Bedford ocean wind turbine port massive financial failure. The news media continues reports of multiple conflicting reports about the terminal. The public is probably unaware that at one time one large news media organization owned land at the New Bedford ocean wind turbine port prior to the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center taking over the construction project.


The Massachusetts Clean Energy Center aka “ Massachusetts Technology Collaborative” in at least twenty one Massachusetts communities placed commercial “megawatt “wind turbines too close to residential homes and has admitted it made the mistake between 2010 to 2013. The mistake resulted in making people sick and illegal property takings amounting to tens of millions in mistakes that involved ARRA funds or what was called stimulus funds.

The Massachusetts Clean Energy Center today is building the New Bedford ocean wind terminal with hundreds of millions of your tax dollars.

The MassCEC started out making mistakes with NO legislative or judicial oversight and today like before still continue to pour hundreds of millions into New Bedford Harbor.
