Falmouth, MA Town Meeting Member David Moriarty discusses the upcoming Special Town Meeting concerning Wind 1, the town owned Vestas Wind Turbine, which was taken offline by a recent vote by Falmouth Zoning Board of Appeals, which ruled it needed a special permit.
He explains upcoming articles and what they really mean, reading between the legalese. Basically the town wants to take the homes surrounding the turbine project by eminent domain to make the project legal. It is the town’s last avenue.
The town has exhausted all other legal remedies.

Link to verbal description of Article 2 Endorsed by Falmouth Select Board
The Verbal Explanation of Article 2 , Eminent Domain As Seen Falmouth Government Cable TV Channel . The aricle was written to hide the true meaning of eminent domain.
For the record the following information is the verbal presentation of Article 2 at the Falmouth Select Board Meeting Oct 5 , 2015 as shown at the one hour and thirty minute mark, 1:30 , on Falmouth CTV’s Government Channel.
The presenter describes the options of taking the homes of wind turbine victims by eminent domain. Aka throwing you, your wife and family out on the street for the wind turbine “agenda.”
The presentation describes several other methods and options on how to take the homes around the wind turbines away from the residential home owners. (1:30 minute mark in the video )
The endorsement of Article 2 by the Select Board is almost one hour later at the two hour and twenty four minute mark, 2:24 minutes. The only discussion during the endorsement of this article was: “We’ve made a long term commitment to renewable energy.”
The presentation can be viewed on the link below: Health and Safety are never mentioned
