Lake Erie's hidden future - Cleveland and eventually Detroit will be trashed

The Icebreaker project is the first of what will end up being several hundred turbines placed on lake Erie.   Hundreds of massive wind turbines that will kill tens of thousands of birds annually are being planned for Lake Erie. Property values will also be greatly impacted.  

I can not emphasize this enough, the MO of this industry is to lie, lie again, pay others to lie for you and to keep on lying until the profits stop. It has been that way since 1985 when the results of first and last, honest wind industry mortality study were published.

                                                                                  In this Nasa image the circled area shows the shallow lake bed of Lake Erie. This is the area under attack from this industry but they will not tell the public. This industrial blight, one project at a time from this fraudulent industry, is the corporate planned future for this region. The Cleveland and Detroit regions of Lake Erie will be trashed. I hope these cities wake up because the Lake Erie scenery, the fishing and the wildlife depending on this area is truly their best part of this entire region. Public comments for the first of what will be many projects, will end on 10/21.Illustrated below are some of the plans to put hundreds of turbines in this very important North American bird and raptor migration corridor.

You can Kiss off the these islands and all the wildlife using this habitat because they will be surrounded by 700 ft turbines..The majority of these islands are under the sovereignty of Ohio in the United States. Corporate dirt bags in Canada at some point will join this environmental disaster.

 The U.S. offshore wind industry has finally launched with the first few foundations for the Block Island wind farm south of Rhode Island. While many eyes watch the construction there, a dedicated team is quietly making progress with an offshore wind farm a lot closer to the Midwest: The Icebreaker wind farm off the coast of Cleveland in Lake Erie. At a recent seminar sponsored by Lincoln Electric, Lake Erie Energy Development Co. (LeedCo) VP of Operations David Karpinski provided an update on the project and introduced the audience to a clever foundation that could serve as  the first of hundreds in the Great Lakes.  LeedCo is a not-for-profit organization created to break the ice, so to speak, and get the wind industry going in the region.

From: http://www.newsfocus.org/media_control.htm

Famed Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein says the CIA has already bought and paid for many successful journalists.

A CIA operative allegedly told Washington Post editor Philip Graham ... in a conversation about the willingness of journalists to peddle CIA propaganda and cover stories: "You could get a journalistcheaper than a good call girl, for a couple hundred dollars a month.

One of the biggest problems is our media, which has eroded to nothing more than a propaganda machine for the corrupt. People today do not know what to think or what to believe. Just a few honest stories about this criminal industry and how little of society's energy these turbine will ever produce  would get everybody mad enough to start knocking them all down.

Oh, I get it Jim. What I don't get is the lack of public protests. I know some people don't give a damn. But where is everyone else? When our Planning Board worried about the possibility of 'outside agitators', I quipped "Am I the only one here who has ever taken their toddlers to a protest rally?" They all looked at me look I was a crazy person. In my case it was to protest spraying agent orange on the Oregon coast range to wash down into the rivers and ground water. I guess normal, sane people just suck it up or find a way to get on the gravy train. So much for respecting other citizen's right to disagree and protest public policy.

Paula, you don't get it...........They could give a damn about any impacts. Decades of consistently fraudulent wind industry research and the slaughtering off of our precious wildlife is proof.  This scandalous disaster know as wind energy is a just another ticket to the golden goose known as the US taxpayer.

This just keeps getting more and more bizarre. Didn't these people ever read Silent Spring? This is that catastrophe multiplied over and over. I guess people could understand DDT poisoning better than they can understand birds getting clobbered by a 350 foot long blade swishing around in their flight path. Oh, but I forget, cats kill more birds than wind turbines do. Silly me.

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.
