This was happening right under their noses and they didn't even know about it

"I think we were blinded by the money. I never thought once what my neighbor across the road would think.

There were salesmen from several wind developers. They were sneaking around all of Delaware County for two years.

I drove down among them for the very first time, turned off the engine, rolled down the windows and I really listened and I was horrified.

It was the idea that the noise would be forever. It would be that way for the next 25-28 years. It would be that way for the rest of my life.

I sent out a letter with a map and people would show up on our kitchen porch clutching the letter and map and they were astounded. This was happening right under their noses and they didn’t even know about it".

From the movie "Windfall". It takes place in beautiful Delaware County, NY but it could just as easily be Maine. The story is the same wherever you go.

It is now available on DVD and with the summer season upon us, showing your summer neighbors the film is a great way to pull them into the fight to save Maine from this scourge.

Don't let the Enronesque carpetbagging wind companies and a tiny minority of greedy landowners in your town make you out to be the bad guy. If you don't speak up and defend your backyard, who will?

The wind companies sneak around and everything is under a veil of secrecy fastened down with contracts that keep people gagged. They do not want anything in the open. When they finally announce the project their strategy is "inevitability" telling all resistance is futile.

Not so, resistance is what stops these sneak thieves dead in their tracks. There are far more resisters than they want you to believe. Silence is their game, secrecy is their growth medium. Don't have any part of it. Speak up.

From another movie:

Synopsis (From http://windfallthemovie.com/index_1.html )

Wind power …it’s sustainable…it burns no fossil fuels… it produces no air pollution. What’s more, it cuts down dependency on foreign oil. That’s what the residents of Meredith, New York first thought when a wind developer looked to supplement the rural farm town’s failing economy with a farm of their own – that of 40 industrial wind turbines. WINDFALL, Laura Israel’s, richly photographed, feature-length film, documents how this proposal divides the people of Meredith, as they fight over the future of their community. Attracted at first to the financial incentives that would seemingly boost their dying economy, the townspeople grow increasingly alarmed as they discover the impacts that the 400-foot high windmills slated for Meredith would bring to their community. Israel also turns her camera on Tug Hill, New York, another small upstate town, where wind power is a done deal. Tug Hill’s 195 wind turbines create non-stop low frequency “whomping” sounds and strobe-like effects, resulting in health effects on the people living among them. With wind development in the United States growing annually at 39 percent, WINDFALL, is an eye-opener that should be required viewing for anyone concerned about the environment and the future of renewable energy.
