Spanish energy company Iberdrola
Redistributing U.S. Tax Dollars
► Source ◄
A wind-energy company is so desperate for federal subsidies, it will give part of them to citizens. ...Earlier this month, Spanish energy company Iberdrola announced that it plans to distribute about $565,000 per year among 815 registered voters in the two towns. The payments would continue for 25 years.

I really do not care about the value in the eyes of others the value of my property. I do care about my quality of life. I do care about the quality of life my children and grandchildren will have in their futures. A quality of life that will look like some horrific film of a nuclear destruction completed without the blast by greed and the will of others to live in Steel framed Concrete boxes in the sky while still breathing through the likes of an apparatus like Darth Vader after learning that our complacent behavior of (our present) the past did not serve them well.

Is this really worth it to devalue ones real estate property by thousands( up to one half or more based on distance from the generators from real estate data ), to have noise related sleep deprivation and other related health issues caused , miles away and watch the recreational income of the area decline below its already anemic rate from the industrial blight of industrial grid scale wind monsters desecrating Vermont or Maines mountains?
People have been forced out of their homes by the health impacts of this crap. Now, people may be desperate in Maine or Vermont for work, and it has been said they might sell their first born for a red hot dog party , but it is embarrassing to think these folks are this desperate and willing to be bought off for bupkis.(look it up). $693/year? Give me a friggin' break. See how Towns like Lincoln Me. have done post wind project (Rollins Wind ), for example.
The answer is obvious, just say 'stuff the wind project you know where".

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/

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