Falmouth Wind Turbines "No Rush" As Millions Blow Away

Annual revenue from the operation of both wind turbines is estimated at one million lost because town officials followed the failed state land based wind turbine agenda.

The Town of Falmouth owns two 1.65 megawatt V-82 wind turbines currently installed at the Town's wastewater treatment facility.

The two wind turbines, installed in 2010 and 2012 with no permits were shut down one by one in 2015 and 2017. The courts' determining the nuisance turbine generates 110 decibels of noise both up to 113 decibels far too loud.

Acoustic noise setbacks for one turbine today equal nearly 3000 feet. There is nowhere in the Town of Falmouth to operate even one of the turbines.

The Town of Falmouth is in no hurry to remove its two wind turbines at the wastewater treatment plant on Blacksmith Shop Road.

At Falmouth Town Meeting in November of 2019 Article 14 approved 2.5 million to take down the turbines. Town Meeting Members were told more will be needed down the road!

As of May of 2020 the town has not issued a formal request for proposals regarding the wind turbines. The town is in the process of creating requests for proposals to either leasing property outside of Falmouth to run the wind turbines, sell the turbines, or re-purpose a wind turbine tower as a cellphone tower.

The town has not issued an RFP, Request for Proposal, but has received multiple contacts and expects the number to increase ? That was two years ago!

A. The turbines ceased operation in 2015 and 2017 the annual revenue from the operation of both wind turbines prior to 2015 is estimated at around one million. The town is losing one million a year on revenue alone. $$$

B. The town continues to pay off a 5 million dollar loan from the America Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds from 2009. $$$

C. Parasitic electricity from the local power company is going into the turbines to maintain the turbines. $$$

D. A maintenance plan is being funded on both wind turbines. $$$

E. The town contract engineering company is still on the tab for future wind turbine plans. $$$

Yes, Your Tax Dollars Are Being Blown Away!

These industrial wind turbines are a bunco scheme of enormous consequence. Citizens who value intellectual honesty should not quietly be fleeced by such mendacity, even from their government officials.
