What is the payback period with the federal subsidy of 1.9 cents per kilowatt ?
341,000,000 kilowatts x .019 = $6,479,000 per year
$15,300,000 plus $6,479,000 = $21,779,000
$273,000,000 divided by $21,779,000 = 12.5 years payback
You will do well. Remember it is all about protecting the health and welfare of each and all of the citizens of the community.
Dropping a name your way to a man you has a business in Wilton and opposes wind farms in our area.
His name is Rand Stowell and he owns the business, microptix at 284 Main ST . His family once owned many of the mountains now under assault. A word or…
Freemont and Dan- Good work. Thank you. Keep after them. Make sure that if you are not there, somebody is, every time they meet about it. And call them out. Argue vociferously. In 5 years this will all be a joke. We'll look back and laugh that the W…
It will be like living next door to an unending Rave. Headbanging, pulsating, heartstopping and deadly to little old ladies and other assorted wildlife.
Dan, You are surmising right about Skitbitsky and Beaumier big time
Maybe mother nature will help them in their rockstar aspirations and see that their instruments are smashed and catch fire at the end of the concert.

The Sounds From Our Mountaintops
Here's what you are going to get with wind turbines on the ridgelines. It will be equivalent to a rock band at each turbine site playing from a stage 400 feet above the ground, but these bands won't have much musical talent.

Dixfield Wind Ordinance Committee Meeting Feb. 26
I attended the Dixfield wind ordinance committee meeting of Feb 26th to see how they were coming along:
Well, we might just as well have Patriots Renewables writing it. Skitbitsky and our code enforcement officer, Calvin Beaumier, are taking all the work done by Norine Clarke and Steve Donahue and re-framing the wording to essentially allow the wind farms on Colonel Holman. Initially, Norine and Steve proposed a one mile setback to adjacent property lines, as the town of Montville, Ma… Continue

- Leola,
As with Woodstock, Carthage was suddenly presented a project no one had understanding of how it would affect them. Overwhelmed with offers of new money, many town officials envisioned solutions to revenue loss. They accepted the wind developer's assurances as well as the state's hastily developed policies which has the DEP trying to cope with human health issues. The idea of these giant wind machines within a town , all too often, presents a struggle town officials are unwilling to undertake as it relates to citizen health and welfare, therefore, they take the easy course of believing the wind developer and the state. Ask anyone who is attempting to write a wind ordinance for their town and they will tell you what an immense undertaking it is.
As with any venture allowed to proceed too fast, regrets will surely follow and wishes one had taken the time to study will be brought forth.
Believe it or not, many people in Carthage believe they will have an opportunity to register their vote on whether to allow these machines in Carthage.
The actions you are taking is not too late. The knowledge you will be imparting to your citizens will solicit the same responses Freemont and I often hear : " I wasn't aware of that ! "
As our town officials fail to look out for the protective interests of their citizens, whether they are of a few or many, it is imperative to make each citizen realize that their health and welfare may have to initiate with them.
I did look up the wind developer's Woodstock site application with the DEP and was curious to find the town planning board had issued a waiver to the town's noise standards and thus allowing the wind developer the opportunity to increase the night time noise limits from 45 Dba to 50 Dba. This was done with knowing what is happening in Mars Hill, Freedom and Vinalhaven , not to mention thruout the country and worldwide ?

Leola R. Ballweber said… - Dan, over here in Woodstock things are warming up. I have a list of all the voters in Woodstock, all the abuttment list, and it shames me to say that whoever is in charge of the protected wetlands have allowed Patriot Renewables to build within 500ft of the wetlands. All the money figures are blocked out so you can't tell how much the pay offs were to these people. The more I dig the dirtier this whole mess looks. Woodstock town manager seems to think it funny that all the green activist don't like the wind turbines. I probly should have told him, its because they are not GREEN. How did your meeting go? Please fill me in and do you know what is going on in Carthage? Patriot is over there too. Leola

Cathy Mattson said… - Dan, Hello to you over on the other side of the mountain. Some really great writings coming from over there. Know tell me, the Rotary needed to have a guest speaker and everyone thought it should be John Kerry??? There has to be something connected there. Good response. Maybe we should suggest that you and I could be their guests some meeting.
