Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick : A Torturous Legacy

Massachusetts Wind Turbine Agenda 2000 Megawatts Of Wind Power Required World War II Scale Mobilization- Taking Health And Property Rights

Former Governor Deval Patrick & federally convicted Sal DiMasi signing Green Communities Act.

Former Massachusetts House speaker Salvatore F. DiMasi was sentenced to eight years in federal prison for his conviction on political corruption. The Green Communities Act was the first act to take the health and property rights of citizens with poorly placed wind turbines in twenty-one communities

Governor Deval Patrick used the fake email address of sally.reynolds@state.ma.us which the governor admitted at the federal trial of Dimasi.

The email address is thought to have been used to communicate with wind turbine contractors and former Governor Patrick to avoid Freedom of Information Act Requests

The state emails with the address sally.reynolds@state.ma.us have been said to have been archived and are not available.

The Massachusetts news media has never pushed for the release of the state emails as they to may have been complaisant in the state wind turbine agenda. Massachusetts has a history of finding a job in the wind turbine industry for retired Editors of local newspapers. Beacon Hill is always awash in charges of political corruption.

Former Governor Deval Patrick served as the 71st governor of Massachusetts from 2007 to to 2015. The former governor had a goal of 2000 megawatts of wind power in the Commonwealth by 2020.

The installations of Falmouth turbines Wind I and Wind II have exposed terrible flaws in the implementation process of siting industrial wind turbines in Massachusetts.

Governor Patrick has in fact committed political suicide with his wind turbine renewable energy agenda.

Massachusetts has twenty one communities where his political party lost widespread support and confidence.

These communities lost their core values by taking the health and property rights of citizens with no compensation for the wind agenda.

Deval Patrick leaves a complex legacy of wind turbine victims who describe the noise from the wind turbines as torture from lack of sleep and unable to work at their property locations during the daylight hours if the turbines are spinning.

The first wind turbine Falmouth Wind 1 was expected to save the Town of Falmouth up to $200,000.00 a year in energy costs. The courts and local zoning board have shut down that turbine. It no longer operates.The second turbine Falmouth Wind 2 only operates under court order 12 hours a day six days of the week when the wind blows.

This is not saving the town anywhere what was estimated and has become ground zero for poorly placed wind turbines in the United States.

In fact the Town Meeting has voted up to $260,000.00 every six months for litigation costs.The litigation fees alone could soon surpass the purchase price of the turbines.

The older gear driven wind turbines were originally built to last twenty years but require much maintenance after only a few years increasing maintenance contracts and in many case operating the turbines at lower speeds to extend the life of the turbines.

The Massachusetts Clean Energy Center rather than providing assistance to correct the mistake of placing the turbines too close to residential homes is helping the Town of Falmouth finance its legal defense. While helping pay the litigation fees with one hand has in another hand through a 2013 memo admitted there were acoustic noise studies made prior to the installations.

Also of major consequence is the turbines are twice as loud as the memo admits as everyone hid a noise warning letter the turbines are 110 decibels of noise twice as loud as the memo admits to.

The Massachusetts Clean Energy Center - MassCEC (formerly the Massachusetts Technical Collaborative) has been handed millions of dollars in electricity rate-payer appropriations to accelerate the design, development and construction of wind turbine renewable energy sources and help pay the Town of Falmouth litigation fees.

The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) designed to protect the health and welfare of citizens, has ignored pleas from citizens to protect their health and property rights.

Massachusetts like countries during World War II have created a second class group of citizens living under the turbines. These people are considered collateral damage in the so called war on fossil fuels. The tortuous wind turbine agenda of 2000 Megawatts of power after the departure of Governor Patrick has stopped at around 115 Megawatts in 2017.

Every resident, politician, judge, jury or anyone for that matter can see the catastrophic failure of an agenda gone horribly wrong.

Commercial wind turbines in Massachusetts are a bunco scheme of enormous consequence. Our citizens who value intellectual honesty should not quietly be fleeced by such mendacity, even from their government officials.

Governor Deval Patrick was an extremely gifted orator who knew what his audience wanted to hear and how to package it. His appeal was especially strong in a state torn apart by the stock market failures.

The news media shares much of the blame as it would take press releases issued by Governor Patrick on Fridays and place them in the Sunday news as if it was real news.

Massachusetts through the its political party agenda has declared an actual war on fossil fuels through its climate action policy.

The Massachusetts Democratic Platform Committee members voted in favor of a historic amendment categorizing climate change as a global emergency requiring World War II scale mobilization

Military tribunals in the United States are military courts designed to try members of enemy forces during wartime, operating outside the scope of conventional criminal and civil proceedings

Massachusetts has twenty one communities with second class citizens who have lost their health and property rights

If the Massachusetts Court System can't hold these people responsible it's time for federal intervention
