Falmouth Wind Turbine Disaster Denominator Senator Ed Markey

Falmouth, Massachusetts, and twenty-one other communities are the scene of massive health and financial land-based wind turbine fiasco thanks to poor legislative leadership.

Massachusetts Senator Markey was supposed to have amassed an unparalleled record of energy and environmental legislative achievements but no one wants to talk about the failure of Massachusetts to achieve 2000 megawatts of land-based wind turbines by the year 2020.

Massachusetts has only installed 130 megawatts of land-based wind power.

Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker described recently to Congress the Falmouth wind turbine installations were a disaster.

The Massachusetts courts in 2017 shut down the nuisance Falmouth wind turbines.

Massachusetts land based wind turbine installations ground to a halt in 2013 as result of a massive political wind turbine agenda gone horribly wrong taking health and property rights.

Falmouth is ground zero for poorly placed wind turbines in the United States under the leadership of Senator Edward Markey. Senator Edward Markey is the common denominator for what's wrong with Green Energy torture in Massachusetts.

A member of the Democratic Party, he was the U.S. Representative for Massachusetts's 7th congressional district from 1976. The only job he had prior to go into politics was selling ice cream off an ice cream truck.

Massachusetts Senator Markey introduced the legislation that would spur the growth of offshore wind energy in the United States by extending tax credits but has never introduced or sponsored legislation to protect Falmouth and twenty-one communities Massachusetts communities from poorly placed wind turbines taking health and property rights.

The Town of Falmouth borrowed 5 million dollars in a loan structured by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection to build their second wind turbine called Wind II. The money was provided through a pilot program using ARRA, American Recovery, and Reinvestment Act of 2009 funds.

Massachusetts outside legal counsel has advised that Wind II is subject to specific provisions of the 5 million loan on Falmouth Wind II the second town-owned wind turbine through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and applicable federal regulations and guidelines ("Federal Law")

The town also in addition to the terms and conditions of the Project Regulatory Agreement ("PRA") and the Loan Agreement brokered by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection in associated with the funding of Wind II, Under Federal Law and the PRA and Loan Agreement, the Town must maintain Wind II as an "energy efficiency" project, as described in EPA guidelines dated March 2, 2009, in order to benefit from the financial subsidy provided by the Trust under ARRA and the Trust's Clean Water State Revolving Fund program.

Falmouth still owes the balance of a 5 million dollar US EPA approved ARRA loan.
