Falmouth Wind Turbines = Green Tyranny

In 1933 the Germans proposed building a massive megawatt commercial wind turbine. They decided wind power, using the cost-free wind, can be built on a large scale. This was thought to be technically and economically possible and opens up a quite new life-important type of power generation. The future of wind was no longer small windmills, but very large real power plants.

The Germans felt this would be a Social program run by the government that would put people to work. The plans were dropped because the steel was too expensive. (Did Not Work)

In 1976 the US Department of Energy and NASA conducted tests in Boone, North Carolina and other locations around the country building wind turbines. The study was conducted by scientist Neil Kelly in which it was found low-frequency infrasound made residents around the wind turbines sick. (Did Not Work)

In 2010 the Town of Falmouth, Massachusetts placed two town-owned wind turbines near a residential location. The town had been warned in advance by maps, emails, and letter the turbines generate 110 decibels of noise and up to 200 residential homes around the turbines could have decibel readings over 50 decibels on and in their property locations. The Massachusetts courts shut down the town-owned wind turbines as they are a nuisance.

In 2018 it has recently been learned the Falmouth town-owned Vestas V82 type 1.65 megawatt wind turbines were supposed to last twenty years. These type of gear driven turbines develope bearing problems in which case normal maintenance requires replacement of those bearings.

Wisconsin Power and Light (WPL), an Alliant Energy company, had purchased 122 wind turbines from Vestas Wind Systems for construction of the Cedar Ridge Wind Farm. The estimated cost of the project is nearly $37.8 million to repair bearings. The $ 40,000,000.00 Divided By 122 Vestas V 82 turbines equals $327,868.00 each in 2015.

The Notus Clean Energy wind turbine a Vestas V-82 type 1.65 megawatt turbine was installed during summer 2010 in the Falmouth Technology Park. Recently that turbine was shut down for seven weeks and according to news sources underwent normal maintenance.

The cost of scheduled maintenance to replace the bearings in each of the Vestas V-82 town-owned wind turbines is around $325,000.00 each based on the Wisconsin Power and Light average cost. The total around $650,000.00

No discussion has been held over the routine maintenance costs of the 110 decibels Falmouth Wind I and Wind II.

In addition to the bearings, a blade inspection is done and repairs made during an inspection at additional costs.

The Town of Falmouth is hiring a wind turbine consultant to look at both turbines to see if they can be moved or sold.

Falmouth is still facing several litigation cases and an appeal of the shut down of the turbines by Friends of Falmouth Wind. Town Meeting in the past has approved up to $300.000.00 for litigation.

Falmouth Town Meeting is April 9, 2018. Town Meeting Members need to ask could the town spend another one million dollars and still have two illegal wind turbines that can not operate.
