Massachusetts : Convicted "Wind Turbine" Politician Federal Prison

Massachusetts : Convicted “Wind Turbine ” Politician Federal Prison

The commercial wind turbine business in Massachusetts is an unmitigated catastrophic disaster

In July 2008, Governor Deval Patrick signed the Green Communities Act , which was a comprehensive piece of energy reform legislation promoting development of commercial wind turbines.

The state set a renewable energy goal using commercial wind turbines of 2000 megawatts of commercial wind by the year 2020.

The wind turbine program was doomed from the day it started. Massachusetts has too high of a residential population to support commercial megawatt wind turbines.

Today only a few years away from the year 2020 the state only has around 100 megawatts of commercial wind turbine energy. An absolute failure. The state has switched to Solar and other less harmful renewable energy products.

Falmouth residents know to well the state goal of 2000 megawatts of commercial wind power is an absolute failure.

You have to ask why Select Board members : Doug Jones, Susan L. Moran, Mary Pat Flynn, Rebecca Moffitt, Samuel H. Patterson are still stuck in 2008.

Every politician in Massachusetts knows only 100 megawatts of commercial wind has been installed because of health and property right disputes.

The poor siting of turbines in Falmouth is the number one cause of the commercial wind turbine failures in Massachusetts

The poor placement of commercial wind turbines in Falmouth, Massachusetts and many other communities is the result of a failed policy taking the health and property rights of citizens that only want what everyone else wants. The American Dream of home ownership and the right to be happy in that home with their family.

The Green Communities Act was a product of a compromise by the Governor, House Speaker Salvatore DiMasi, and Senate President Therese Murray. House Speaker Salvatore DiMasi was later sentenced to eight years in federal prison on corruption charges where he sits today.

Disgraced ex-Speaker Salvatore DiMasi was sentenced for accepting $65,000 in bribes. The speaker used his office to corruptly steer multi-million-dollar state contracts to Cognos Corp.

Former Speaker of the Massachusetts House Sal Dimasi is the father of the Green Communities Act and the proposed Buzzards Bay wind turbine project. A failed project and harbinger of a state doomed commercial wind agenda.

Convicted House Speaker Sal DiMasi had been promoting legislation for commercial wind renewable energy.

Today looking back we know state agencies, politicians and news media ignored studies dated back to 1987 that warned of noise issues with the turbines.

Public saftey was ignored for the wind turbine agenda of 2000 megawatts of commercial wind by the year 2020

How much longer is it going to take before the residents of Massachusetts understand the tentacles of corruption of the wind turbine business in Massachusetts ?

How many other local and state politicians followed in the foot steps of imprisoned former Massachusetts House Speaker Sal DiMasi ?

Falmouth Massachusetts is ground zero for poorly placed commercial wind turbines in the United States.

How did it happen ? It’s no longer a secret !

Corruption and intentionally poorly prepared wind turbine studies have ground commercial wind almost to a halt in Massachusetts .

The Falmouth Select Board is oblivous to these facts and appears to be living in some kind of exotic fish bowl.

The whole world is watching the wind turbine fiasco in Falmouth.
