Falmouth Wind Turbine Fraud -Massachusetts Clean Energy Center

MassCEC state agency Falmouth wind turbine fraud you be the judge and jury :

Opinion :

In March of 2005 at a public meeting in Falmouth the following individuals met to review the draft of the April 19, 2005 KEMA wind turbine report that said the Town of Falmouth needed a Special Permit 240-166 to install commercial wind turbines.

Meeting was attended by: John Abe, KEMA, Inc, Author of the Site Screening Report (Feasibility Study) -Dick Elrick, Massachusetts Technology Collaborative, Sponsor of the Feasibility Study ---George Calise, Engineer for the Town of Falmouth --Ahmed Mustafa, Chair, Falmouth Selectmen- Kevin Murphy, Falmouth Selectmen-- Bob Whritenour, Falmouth Town Administrator-Megan Amsler. Co-Chair, Falmouth Energy Committee- Joan Muller, Co-Chair, Falmouth Energy Committee-- Ursula Boyce, Falmouth Energy Committee-- Joe Hackler, Falmouth Energy Committee Advisor--and Dick Koehler, Falmouth Energy Committee Advisor.

First a domestic wind turbine company, General Electric, refused to build a single megawatt wind turbine in Falmouth because of safety and ice throw.

The Massachusetts Technology Collaborative today the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center after the refusal of General Electric to place a megawatt wind turbine in Falmouth offered the Town of Falmouth one million dollars to take an even larger foreign made Vestas V 82 wind turbine they had been stuck with for 5 years. Falmouth took the bait. Falmouth had its first wind turbine called Wind I.

Wind turbine noise complaints started. A noise described as torture from lack of sleep.

All those invloved in the installation of Falmouth Wind I hid a noise warning from the manufacturer, Vestas for 5 years that the turbine was twice as loud as the General Electric wind turbine.

The town then applied for American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) loan from the federal government to build the second turbine Falmout Wind II. The Town received a funding of $4.865 million in ARRA funds from the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (SRF).

The town filed a waiver, buy American, with the federal EPA to obtain the stimulus funds that left out the fact General Electric refused to build a megawatt turbine, failed to disclose the foreign made turbine was twice as loud and never filed special permit 240-166 that was referenced in the waiver.

The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection notified the Town of Falmouth in May of 2012 the turbines broke state noise regulations

In April of 2013 the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center who originally owned and had been stuck with two Vestas V 82 wind turbines for five years admitted the noise tests performed for the original wind turbine Falmouth Wind I was flawed.

Also in April of 2013 the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center with no legislative oversight gave the Town of Falmouth 1.8 million dollars to help keep court litigation going against the wind turbine victims and distract attention from what they want the public to believe are " mistakes," "omissions" and "accidental misrepresentations." There are far too many for any rational person to believe let alone a jury.

The Massachusets Clean Energy goal is not the health and safety of the citizens of Falmouth but to use the Massachusetts court system to hide the taking of health and property rights and obvious criminal actions by a state agency. Obfuscation paid for with tapayer money.

The federal Office of Inspector General (OIG) Act of 1978 include oversight over programs funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The Office of Inspector General (OIG) needs to look into the 6 million dollar loan/ grant for the Falmouth wind turbne # 2. The grant / loan appears to be the latest scheme to defraud the government and steal money from the American people.

The Massachusetts Superior Courts have found the wind turbines a nuisance.

The Falmouth Zoning Board of Appeals a Quasi-Judicial Board, which operates under the mandates of Massachusetts General Laws Annotated Chapter 40A and the Falmouth Zoning Bylaws has voted in a preliminary vote by Super Majority NOT to allow a permit for Falmouth Wind I .

The Vestas V -82 town owned commercial megwatt wind turbines never had a Special Permit filed as stated in the April 19, 2005 report that was prepared by KEMA ECOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENT, INC and funded by the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative aka today the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center.

Neither wind turbine should ever have been built and ARRA stimulus funds should never have been used to build Falmouth Wind II.

The Falmouth wind turbines are a bunco scheme of enormous consequence. The federal, state and local taxpayers who value intellectual honesty should not quietly be fleeced by such mendacity, even from their government officials

Taxpayers need demand action by federal and/or state Grand Jury. The Massachusetts Attorney General should diligently investigate the use of state renewable energy funds to pay the litigation fees of the Town of Falmouth.

It is unacceptable the total disregard of the health, property rights and law that has resulted in the misuse of taxpayer funds. 

It's been six years since the noise complaints described as torture from lack of sleep began. There has been multiple litigation cases against the turbines. There are currently nine ongoing cases.

Local town officials made up of the Friends of Falmouth wind financed by the April 2013 Massachusetts Clean Energy Center 1.8 million dollars and your local tax would have the public believe the people who live around the wind turbines are a bunch of Hollywood actors who got together making up a story for six years.

In reality the Friends of Falmouth Wind also the town officials advocate a tenth new lawsuit again using taxpayers money using the court system in an attempt to deny the victims. It's clear that it took 4 years to fight World War II and the Town of Falmouth is in its sixth year of litigation using the court system to stall the victims.

Anyone that read this has to know you paid for the everything, wind turbines and the litigation that has surpassed the original purchase price of Falmouth Wind I.

Falmouth Town Meeting is April 4, 2016
