How wind farms blow away rights on real farms
Changes to the landscape are inevitable. But farmers shouldn’t be conscripted to serve a climate-change agenda. States should think twice before granting the power of eminent domain to developers of renewable-energy projects, who should have to negotiate with individual landowners like everybody else.

The company, whether foreign or national itself is legal, however their power to utilize the the states authority such as it stands, to grant them unlimited access to our water for commercial sale without local community controls is the major part of the problem. Hopefully more communities will step up and protect their resources that provided for them in the past to have created the community. Such protections as Local Ordinances, that are not regulatory where the corporations can influence the legislature or state agencies, to impede or remove that ordinance. Ordinances based on our rights, not only as human beings, but those of our constitutions both state and federal. A Rights Based Ordinance such as the CELDF model, for one, which derives its writings based on the 2nd Amendment prescribed rights, inherent to this nations peoples. Authorized to be enacted by both the 9th and 10th Amendments of the constitution by "WE the PEOPLE"........... So clearly evident, should we get off our butts and do so........... On Many Issues, including Wind.......... EWC........ Water..........
However people are fearful of something new, or that which they do not take the time to understand, and allow themselves to be persuaded it is illegal, or that the government will take care of it, to which that method allows a broader change and control, vs Local Control by which Local Self Governance utilization will be also needed and also in Maine's constitution, something which other states do not have.

Wars will be fought over water rights. Everything should be done to protect water resources. Companies like Nestle shouldn't be legal.

With the land being damaged, and replaced by industrial projects, will it be able to again produce the food of the future, will they be standing in lines starving and thirsty someday with no remaining quality land for the sake of our fresh air concerns of today ? YES this could get VERY UGLY, and the battle over suitable water for drinking has already begun in 4 western states, with the new statutes that require them to drink in places, processed water...... from their own sewer districts.

That could get real ugly, real fast.

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.
