Massachusetts Politicians continue to lie to the public and the news media is going right along about anything to do with commercial wind turbines.

Recently New Bedford Mayor Jon Mitchell in a July 6,2015 press release made a statement about the New Bedford Marine Commerce Terminal being completed over the past two years. A spokesperson for the Massachusetts Clean Energy on the other hand when asked about the AM radio station, rail link and heavy cranes would only say the port is going into stage two. Stage two could be another 100 million. They don’t care it’s your money


The public is being made to believe the embarrassing ocean port is complete. It’s not complete and anyone who says its complete is lying to you. There is no other way to put it !

The Massachusetts Clean Energy Center the builder of the port has 113 million into the port and $187,500 a month in bonds owed for the next thirty years. They can’t lease the port out for more than what the bond payments are and they need to borrow more money to complete the terminal.

The AM radio station taking up four acres and the entrance on the 28 acre site is blocking the entrance. The radio station is being moved across New Bedford by the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center at taxpayer expense. Two temporary entrances had too be built on Blackmer Street again at taxpayer expense. The move is tens of millions.
There are no large walking/crawler type cranes at the port. These are going to cost taxpayers millions more.
The rail link remains 3000 feet from the port another multi-million dollar expense.

The most embarrassing part is the hurricane gates only have a legal width clearance of 120 feet in which modern wind turbine jack-up barges don’t fit .

Folks, Journalist are afraid to tell you the truth for fear of losing their jobs. Massachusetts has a policy of lying to the public about commercial wind turbine projects.

Falmouth, Massachusetts is ground zero for poorly placed commercial wind turbines in the United States. The turbines took the health and property rights of residential home owners with no compensation. This has gone on in communities across Massachusetts.

The Town of Falmouth and everyone involved with the turbine installations hid noise warning letters, failed to post negative wind studies, used the court system to obfuscate and knew prior to installation the turbines were too loud. The Massachusetts Attorney General even looked the other way when wind turbine victims were made second class citizens.


The major problem now is the news media is well aware of all the so called “Mistakes” made by the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center and still the news media acts as parrots of the commercial wind industry.
It’s depressing to know that the editors have learned so little about this topic over the years. The news media is pathetic and cowardly in every conceivable way. Hasn’t history taught us what happens when the media falls victim to an agenda ?


The media is responsible for the unconscionable devastation of the health and well-being of Massachusetts citizens who have become victims of the wind turbines. The media helped take away the American Dream.
When will the news media report the truth ? Why are they hiding the truth ? Is the so called war on fossil fuels agenda worth all these people losing everything they own !


Here is the recent press release about the ocean wind turbine port. :

Mayor Mitchell Marks Arrival of First Cargo Ship At New Bedford Marine Commerce Terminal MV Thorco Svenborg delivers wind turbine components for Plymouth project City of New Bedford, a national leader in renewable energy to be one of the customers for Plymouth project Maritime International, local company overseeing offloading operation New Bedford, Massachusetts—At an event atop the city’s Hurricane Barrier near Gifford Street, Mayor Jon Mitchell joined by other leaders, watched the arrival of the 409 foot-long MV Thorco Svenborg, the first vessel to offload cargo at the new $113 million New Bedford Marine Commerce Terminal.


Milestone for New Bedford Marine Commerce Terminal The 28-acre, $113 million New Bedford Marine Commerce Terminal was built over the past two years by the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center with the support of Mayor Mitchell and the City of New Bedford to handle heavy project loads like the wind turbine components arriving today. A one-of-a-kind facility in North America, the purpose-built Terminal is capable of handling both traditional heavy cargo and serving as the staging area for offshore wind energy projects presently proposed for federally designated areas of open ocean off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard and Rhode Island
