HI, I live Woodstock and am very concerned with the way the town is trying to push this through. My parents and I own property off RT 26 and also a camp over on Concord Pond. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help. We pay taxes to…

I do not know the whole story, but I have been given an experience that blew my mind. Recently, in Woodstock, reference to Spruce Mountain Wind Project, consisting of 10-11 turbines, I had the "pleasure " of the group here trying to save the ledge i…

Leola - if you'd like to call me I'd be happy to share our process with you. You don't have much time - whether that was "planned" or not - not sure, but you certainly have to 1. Make sure all your signers come to the meeting -- so get their phone n…

The Town of Woodstock has made it very clear that they do not want to do a moratorium for the wind turbines or create a wind turbine ordinance. I would like to inform anyone who cares, that I have successfully made the Town of Woodstock sit up and t…

Lisa, I spent my summers at Camp Lawroweld between 15-19 years of age. I worked at the Camp to work my way through private school. To sit on the dock and look across at Blueberry mountain and Tumble down mountain, Little Jackson, Big Jackson and all…

Hi, Leola, Do you have a link to that channel 8 story? I tried to find it online but couldn't. I don't have a tv so I missed it.

Those of you that watch channel 8 on T.V. must have seen the short piece on how the wind turbines are being made in China and the ones manufactured in the United States are not being bought by all these money hungry companys that are out for the fed…

Town of Woodstock, Selectmen get introduced to Moratorium Petition 3/16/10

I want to thank all of you out there that have supported me through this first step towards a moratorium. The people of Woodstock know of the dangers that these wind turbines have and realize that there should be at least a one mile distance from all abutting property,s. Once they realize that their building code that was revised March, 2009, to deal with wind turbines, is very dangerous for distance, they will want to have that corrected for the sContinue

NATIONAL NEWS FINALLY TALKS ABOUT WIND TURBINES

Those of you that watch channel 8 on T.V. must have seen the short piece on how the wind turbines are being made in China and the ones manufactured in the United States are not being bought by all these money hungry companys that are out for the federal incentive money. They showed how big these wind turbines are and how the incentive program was set up to get the American wind companys going and giveContinue

Woodstock, Maine Will Not Go Down With Out A Fight

The Township of Woodstock, Maine and Patriot Renewables, Quincy, Massachusetts have been working together for the past 2 years to create the Spruce Mountain Wind Project. This project would include 9-11 G.E. wind turbines. If they use the G.E. 1.5, they plan on installing 11 turbines or the G.E. 2.0, the number would be 9 turbines. When Patriot Renewables made their presentation to the public, November, 2009, most of us there had received a registered letter and was curious as to what this was a… Continue

Hi Leola,
Wednesday at 6pm at the Rumford Library, our wind education group of the river valley meets, where we discuss strategy to advance our cause. I would like to extend an invitation to you to join us there, if you can. If not, I will keep you informed.

Hi Leola,
We met in Augusta. I was with Freemont. My name is Dan and we are from Dixfield. If you have been following the wind happenings in Dixfield, you are probably aware of the wind debate taking place Feb 4 at Dirigo High beginning at 5:30 pm. Freemont is making up a poster with photos depicting the beauty of our mountains as well as photos showing the destruction caused by road building and tower erection. I sincerely hope you will attend and perhaps make up a similar poster for the Woodstockscenery. I read your letter to the editor in the Sun. Very well written. I added a comment(macmac is my web name) I would also like to see people from our group put in writing their feelings about wind farms and post on this site where we all may print copies for handouts at the Dixfield meeting. Maybe title it " letter to Dixfield " so we all know the purpose for submission. Keep talking to the folks in Woodstock and Bryant Pond. They will listen and understand why we are right.

Leola, How far is the project at this point? Do they have a permit from DEP and Army Corps yet? I am in Roxbury as you may have read. What town do you live in...Woodstock? We found out that logging operations can start by the landowner even before the permits are issued.
