Reading from a prepared statement, Selectman David Braga said industrial-sized turbines don’t belong in residential neighborhoods.
“We have an issue that has gone on for too long and it has divided our town. I want to be very positive and move forward to rectify this issue,” Braga said. “I think it’s time that we start building trust with the residents of Falmouth over this issue.”

Selectman Doug Jones said he was inclined to agree with Braga but urged caution on how they proceed.

DOUG JONES: “It’s not something you hear. But that’s the thing that they say it just makes them feel sick. And that’s the one we don’t have tons of scientific evidence to really affirm.”

Selectman Doug Jones explained it as vibration or sound pressure that gets reflected off the turbine itself and towards the homes.:

“It’s not something you can hear,” Jones said. “But that’s the thing, they say it just makes them feel sick. And that’s the one that we don’t have scientific evidence to really affirm. But that whole infrasound thing is enough for me to say, I’m not comfortable running them if that’s what it’s doing to people who live nearby them.”

"Selectman Murphy said the turbines are in the wrong place for their size, and neighbors are suffering for it."

“We took on a huge risk and I think we were successful but we’re a large community and I think we can take on that risk,”

The Town of Falmouth in August of 2010 one month prior to the Heather Harper announcement about taking huge risk . Town received and hid for years the Vestas 110 decibel noise warning letter that they were previously warned about the 110 decibels of noise.
