Massachusetts Wind Turbines: Harbingers of Death

Massachusetts has had two large wind turbine blade accidents in the past year. The Plymouth blade failure, and at this time last year, the Vineyard Wind blade was still hanging off a turbine. The Vineyard blade spewed 60 tons of foam, fiberglass, and microplastics over a multistate area, ending Nantucket vacations and property values.
.
The news media, within days of the recent Plymouth accident, reported "experts say" this is a rare event. How quickly the wind advocates, aka the media, forget that over one hundred blades are defective on the Vineyard project. In Massachusetts, blade accidents average one per year. 
.
Reports say it's a good thing Plymouth wind turbines are located in a rural area, and there is nothing wrong with the cranberries in the bog. Massachusetts is the most urbanized state in the US. If the blade had gone in a different direction, it could have killed someone.
.
Wind turbines in Massachusetts are known as noise machines. Neighbors report sleep disturbance, dizziness, headaches, and stress, which they attribute to the noise and low-frequency sound or infrasound. The Town of Falmouth never disclosed to residents before the installation of turbines that they were warned in writing that the turbines generate 110 decibels of noise.

 .

Both local, state, and federal officials prioritize the Green agenda over the health of residential neighborhoods. The state also does not maintain a dedicated, independent database for wind turbine accidents or safety. The goal of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 remains the state's primary focus. 
.
Offshore wind contractors spend hundreds of millions of dollars to get their permits. US taxpayers pay up to 40 percent of the project costs in renewable energy credits and another 10 percent for building ocean wind ports. The expenses incurred by the contractors are not available to the public. 
.
Wind companies pay fines to back out of project power agreements, donations, grants to science/research groups, political contributions, local town events, and media advertising. To put it bluntly, everybody got a bag of money.  
.
One example is that scientists say offshore wind construction does not kill whales, and places that do necropsies never say a whale that is deafened by offshore wind died as a result of offshore wind. The news media never ask these scientists or experts if they or their employers have ever received resources from offshore wind companies. A deaf whale is a dead whale. 
.
It's time to stop the wind turbine insanity. The turbines are intermittent sources of energy requiring high-voltage direct current converter stations, massive battery backup, and fossil fuel power plants.  
.
Massachusetts has 70 land-based wind turbines. It's time for statewide inspections before someone dies.

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.
