Falmouth Wind Turbines Paid For Three Times

Falmouth Wind Turbines Paid For Three Times

First with Health

Second With Tax Receipts Twice

Falmouth residents for the past five years have been paying for the wind turbines with their health and loss of residential property rights.

In March of 2013 a closed-door meeting between state and town officials were told Falmouth may be responsible for paying back the 6 million stimulus money on Falmouth Wind 2 ? The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) supposedly paid for the turbine or at least that is what Falmouth Town Meeting Member thought ?

Why are taxpayer paying twice for the same two wind turbines ?

Folks, Your being raked over the coals there is no other way to put it. They took your health, property and your money. It’s time to look at what has been done to you.

The Massachusetts Clean Energy Center is funded through a small tax on all Massachusetts electric rate bills.

First, The MassCEC state agency bought Falmouth Wind 1, paid for flawed studies and attorneys and sold a turbine already paid for once by you the electric ratepayers. They sold the Falmouth Wind 1 turbine to the town in which local residents are paying back municipal bonds. The turbine is being paid for twice by the same taxpayers.

Second, The MassCEC and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection helped Falmouth get a 6 million dollar grant from American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act). This money is federal tax dollars paid by you to the federal government. State official have told town officials that if Falmouth Wind 2 comes down the taxpayers in Falmouth will have to pay for the wind turbine again ?

Taxpayers need to start asking some serious questions why are they taking your health , property rights and now making you pay for the wind turbines twice.

The MassCEC now is “ helping “ the Town of Falmouth pay its litigation fees with money they already collected from electric rate payers.

Here is a portion of a press release from the Mass CEC stating they will pay for the Town of Falmouth litigation fees : “With this funding, MassCEC seeks to help the town recover costs associated with project curtailment. To date the town has incurred unexpected costs resulting from community concerns, voluntary reductions in operation due to unanticipated sound levels and related litigation.”
