Falmouth Wind Turbine II "Drinking the Green Kool-Aid"

By 1978 Jimmy Jones an American religious cult leader founded a group of which followed him and in the end committed a mass murder-suicide.

The people that Jones attracted came from every walk of life. The people were both well educated and ignorant some living on federal benefits. The people believed in the idea of a utopian community called the People's Temple complete with schools, health benefits, and farms. The goal was to share everything fair and equal or what today is called Socialism.

For the past ten years, the "Friends of Falmouth Wind" the proponents of the two town-owned wind turbines did a great job as far as they are concerned passing out the Green Kool-Aid.

First town officials were bribed by a one million dollars to buy the first wind turbine from a state agency now called the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center. Town residents were lured into thinking wind turbines would provide years of an unending revenue stream only to take health and property rights.

Town residents were never told General Electric a domestic wind turbine company refused to build a single megawatt wind turbine because of residential setbacks and ice throw.

The town went forward borrowing ARRA, American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds which cannot be awarded if they affect safety and health to build wind turbines. In order to build the turbines, the town hid an August 2010 warning letter from Vestas of America who manufactured the turbines. The letter stated the turbines generate a chest pounding 110 decibels of noise.

The "Friends of Falmouth Wind" after the June 2017 court-ordered shut down of both wind turbines filed more litigation that they should be able to intervene in the lawsuit three years after it started.

The Friends solicited an undetermined amount of money from donors.

The same individuals went forward into Massachusetts Superior Court arguing a 2007 construction law that had nothing to do with their right to intervene.

The case was closed December 4, 2018, and no further appeals have been filed.

The Falmouth Select Board continues to drink the Green Kool-Aid making plans to move Falmouth Wind II to a new location and reuse the ARRA, American Recovery, and Reinvestment Act grant/loan again.

The Town of Falmouth has a new October 2018 letter from an acoustic expert that the proposed new location breaks state noise regulations again.

Safety and health and a financial fiasco continue as the town spent $14,000.00 on a study to move Falmouth Wind II leaving out the fact the wind turbine generates 110 decibels of noise.

This is safety, health and financial suicide.
