Massachusetts War On Fossil Fuels Taking Health and Property Rights For Commercial Wind Turbine Agenda
Falmouth Wind Turbines Deceiving The Public Massachusetts Proof
Massachusetts State Agenda On Climate Crisis : The Massachusetts wind turbine agenda declared war on it's own citizens below is the quote that caused mayhem in twenty one communities :

"Massachusetts Democrats recognize that climate change is real and is already causing disruption and destruction to our property and our lives. The melting of polar ice caps, increased numbers and severity of storms, increased drought and flooding are all changes we cannot ignore. We understand that these changes are a direct result of human activity, primarily green house gas emissions from burning fossil fuels including coal, oil and natural gas. We understand that the resulting Climate Crisis requires prioritized attention and action on the scale equivalent to a major war. It is urgent that we take immediate action at all levels of government."
Federal and state agencies have known since 1985 through their own studies wind turbines generate several types of noise that cause health problems, interfere in old fashioned TV reception and cause problems with Doppler Radar. The experiments done by scientist Neil Kelly by the US Department of Energy in Boone, North Carolina showed health problems around wind turbines the same complaints as those in Falmouth, Massachusetts and around the world.

Massachusetts in 2009 had a wind turbine agenda of 2000 megawatts of commercial wind turbine renewable energy by the year 2020. Massachusetts took immediate action on the scale of a major war.
Massachusetts In order to fight the war on fossil fuels like a real war had to install commercial megawatt wind turbines in residential locations taking what they knew was the health and property rights of thousands of Massachusetts citizens.
Falmouth, Massachusetts is ground zero for poorly placed wind turbines in the United States.
The proof of the failed agenda is this letter written by Vestas the manufacturer of the Falmouth wind turbines. The letter warned the turbine are twice as loud as those used as test models.

RE: Falmouth WWTF Wind Energy Facility II “Wind II”, Falmouth, MA
Contract No. #3297
Dear Mr. Potamis,
Due to the sound concerns regarding the first wind turbine installed at the wastewater treatment facility, the manufacturer of the turbines, Vestas, is keen for the Town of Falmouth to understand the possible noise and other risks associated with the installation of the second wind turbine.
The Town has previously been provided with the Octave Band Data / Sound performance for the V82 turbine. This shows that the turbine normally operates at 103.2dB but the manufacturer has also stated that it may produce up to 110dB under certain circumstances. These measurements are based on IEC standards for sound measurement which is calculated at a height of 10m above of the base of the turbine.
We understand that a sound study is being performed to determine what, if any, Impacts the second turbine will have to the nearest residences. Please be advised that should noise concerns arise with this turbine, the only option to mitigate normal operating sound from the V82 is to shut down the machine at certain wind speeds and directions. Naturally this would detrimentally affect power production.
The manufacturer also needs confirmation that the Town of Falmouth understands they are fully responsible for the site selection of the turbine and bear all responsibilities to address any mitigation needs of the neighbors.
Finally, the manufacturer has raised the possibility of ice throw concerns. Since Route 28 is relatively close to the turbine, precautions should be taken in weather that may cause icing.
To date on this project we have been unable to move forward with signing the contract with Vestas. The inability to release the turbine for shipment to the project site has caused significant [SIC] delays in our project schedule. In order to move forward the manufacturer requires your understanding and acknowledgement of these risks. We kindly request for this acknowledgement to be sent to us by August 4, 2010, as we have scheduled a coordination meeting with Vestas to discuss the project schedule and steps forward for completion of the project.
Please sign in the space provided below to indicate your understanding and acknowledgement of this letter. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me.
Sincerely,
(Bruce Mabbott’s signature)
