Electric Rates Triple From Wind Turbines

Electric Rates Triple From Wind Turbines Picture Worth A Thousand Words

Folks,
If we are to stop wind turbines from ruining the health of many neighborhoods like Falmouth, and destroying the Berkshires, we will need to convince the public and our political leaders that continuing on the path of past administrations will not only fail to achieve its goals but will result in economic disaster.

Below is an article on Forbes that covers many of the points I have been making on how useless wind power is.

A Picture Paints a Thousand Words (residential electricity prices per kWh)A National Renewable Portfolio Standard? Not Practical

http://issues.org/25-1/apt-4/

“As Massachusetts has already discovered, implementing an RPS is far more difficult than passing popular legislation. The proposed wind farm off Cape Cod is stalled, and Massachusetts is badly behind in meeting its RPS. Even beyond siting the wind farms, states and the federal government would have to expedite permitting and obtaining the land and permission to build transmission lines, as well as provide the resources to review interconnection applications quickly. Although the public supports renewable energy in the abstract, many groups object vociferously to wind farms in particular places and to transmission lines nearly everywhere.”

“Massachusetts’ Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard (RPS) was one of the first programs in the nation that required a certain percentage of the state’s electricity to come from renewable energy. The Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard (APS) was established to complement the RPS Program, providing requirements and incentives for alternative electricity technologies.”

Aka RPS- 2000 megawatts of renewable energy by the year 2020 at the cost of your neighbors health and property rights and now your pocket book and wallet.
