Vineyard Wind Torsion Sensor Problems

Vineyard Wind 1 is an 804 megawatt "nameplate" offshore wind facility located 15 miles south of Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. Nameplate capacity is the maximum rated power output a wind turbine project can produce under ideal, perfect wind conditions..When offshore wind developers announce a new "804-megawatt" wind farm, that 804 MW figure is the nameplate capacity.…See More

"Tip Speed Formula: Tip Speed = pi X Diameter(FT) X RPM( Revolutiond per minute)/ 60 )seconds per minute) = (3.14 X 712ft X 12rpm)/60 = 447 feet per second = 305 miles per hour. Obviously, these turbines tip speeds are capped and will…"

"The tip speed of a 351-foot (approx. 107-meter) wind turbine blade at nameplate capacity ranges between 180 mph and 200 mph  Because aerodynamic drag and acoustic noise rise significantly at higher velocities, engineers cap maximum tip…"

Vineyard Wind Can Not Power 400,000 Homes 24/7

News media report that Vineyard Wind will generate 800 megawatts of energy, enough to power 400,000 homes.In a Boston Suffolk Superior Civil Court case 2684CV01041 Vineyard Wind 1 LLC vs. GE Renewables US LLC, a document was filed on May 11, 2026..In item # 6, it states, "With respect to production output, I understand that nameplate capacity and actual production are two distinct concepts.".This means a wind turbine's nameplate capacity is its maximum theoretical power output under ideal wind…See More

Vineyard Wind's Lack of Power Production

A recent news media source reported that, according to a Vineyard Wind attorney, the 806-megawatt project is currently producing less than half of its output. The statement made on May 1, 2026, suggests the project is not producing enough power to be commercially viable. .Vineyard Wind and GE Vernova are arguing over a billion dollars and will be back in court for the…See More

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT

******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********

(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/

Sign up today and lend your voice and presence to the steadily rising tide that will soon sweep the scourge of useless and wretched turbines from our beloved Maine countryside. For many of us, our little pieces of paradise have been hard won. Did the carpetbaggers think they could simply steal them from us?

We have the facts on our side. We have the truth on our side. All we need now is YOU.

“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”
