Falmouth Wind Turbines Time To Give Up "Say 'Uncle'!"

Former acting Falmouth Town Manager and manager of the wind turbines Heather Harper made this statement:

“We took on a huge risk and I think we were successful but we’re a large community and I think we can take on that risk.”

Folks the town officials knew the risk. The risk was the town always knew the turbines generate 110 decibels of noise. Vestas the manufacturer warned the town before the installations. Your filing litigation you can not win.

Falmouth officials rolled the dice with your tax dollars never told you the truth and now they lost and you have to pay for it. That is just a fact of life.

Every six months they ask Falmout Town Meeting Members for up to $300,000.00 more for the wind turbine litigation. This time on November 6, 2017 they are asking you to pay a $120,000.00 electric bill ? When does it end ?

Now the so called "Friends of Falmouth Wind" have filed litigation that could have the wind turbines headed to federal court over the 5 million in stimulus money loan on Falmouth Wind II. Guess who is going to pay for it one way or another- You Jill and Joe taxpayers.

Ask your current Select Board members to make the August 2010 Vestas 110 decibel noise warning letter public! Ask then why they never made it public in the first place.

Current Selectman Doug Jones was one of the WTOP-CBI Liaison to Falmouth Board of Selectmen during negotiations in 2012. Why did the town withhold the August 2010 Vestas noise warning letter from the 26 meetings at a cost of $136,000.00 to taxpayers.

Nicole Smith the Senior Mediator at CBI who ran the Falmouth WTOP, Wind Turbine Option Analysis Process when asked about the August 3, 2010 Vestas noise warning said in an email responded after the meetings she had never been shown the letter.

There is only one conclusion :The town hid the 110 decibel letter !

Wind turbines are not an environmentally friendly alternative energy source because they also cause debilitating health problems.

Debilitating wind turbines such as those found in Falmouth, Massachusetts are popping up in rural communities around the world in the hope that they will reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

Most residents who live near wind turbines complain the turbines cause a number of adverse health effects, such as crippling headaches, nosebleeds and a constant ringing in the ears.

Falmouth local officials knew well in advance of the installations of their two town-owned turbines that commercial wind turbines produce noise pollution that affects people living near them.

Vestas wind company sent a reminder letter to the Town of Falmouth in August of 2010 that the town had been warned in advance about the 110 decibels of chest pounding noise. The Town of Falmouth has never made that letter available on the town web site.

Below on a video filmed last July after the Massachusetts Superior Court shut down both turbines.

David Moriarty, resident of Town of Falmouth, talks to audience about the current status of the town owned wind turbines in Falmouth, MA after court injunction, and urges people in town to get involved with local decision makers and elected officials to stop appeal process which will be expensive and probably not succeed.

Moriarty says we are all responsible for when we let elected officials do as they please with public money, who then may lie to get away with it after the fact, and we have to hold them accountable.
