Heavily funded PR machine to make Americans think wind power doesn't impact property values

Wind power proponents and Ontario’s municipal assessment agency have maintained that there is no appreciable property value loss, but an energy commentator wrote in Forbes magazine in 2015 that “there’s a heavily funded public relations machine to make Americans think that wind power doesn’t impact property values.”

It'll take another ice age to clean the junk off our mountains after the "environmentalists" are finished desecrating them. Meanwhile, these same "environmentalists" protest loudly against the Quebec Hydro transmission corridor, using all the same arguments we rural residents used against the wind projects, the only difference being the wind projects are next to useless for producing reliable, dispatchable energy for southern New Englanders to feel good about. What's happening in France right now is a real eye opener. Push the fast forward button, and it could happen here.

You are asking some ethical republican legislators to initiate an action that should have been initiated years ago, and that outgoing Paul Lepage should have done years ago.
Note the words "ethical" and "initiate". Do you believe that one party or the other is above the graft, corruption, lies and deception that has been present in Maine since the wind scammers came to town?
Cynical as this may sound, it is for all concerned Maine citizens as it relates to this issue to unify and force all political hands to expunge PL-661. It is for all those knowledgeable concerning this issue over the last decade to lay their individual egos and mistrust of other anti-wind individuals and groups aside and unify to change the law. As long as PL-661 breaths, Maine will be desecrated.
Look back at the past decade. The situation now in the Maine legislature and governorship is ripe for massive devastation from wind, and they know it and are acting quickly.
Concerned Mainer's, Unify and Act, or indeed Maine will die by death from thousands of wind turbines.

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.
