The BEP will hear Rufus Brown argue in appeal of the proposed Woodstock Maine industrial wind development this Thursday, February 3. The BEP staff will start the meeting at 10 AM rather than 8 AM because of the weather. In the event that State Offices are delayed beyond the 10:00 o’clock timeframe the Board meeting will also be delayed to that new time.

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/

I need your help. PR rep Tom Carroll stated in public that only 3 people in Woodstock had complained about noise. Do you have info to disprove this claim?

You have good reasons to be alarmed. From the day Patriots Renewables entered town hall promoting their project, the officials representing Woodstock have done everything in their power to facilitate this project. They have ignored the town's comprehensive plan and have allowed an increase in sound levels to areas near the proposed turbines. They have played on people's fear of losing the school if the project is not allowed to proceed. I was told any actions regarding ordinances could only take place during the annual town meeting and not at a called- for special town meeting.
The strategy pursued by the few managing your town is obvious, get the project up, secure the money to be used under their control and screw the citizens.
