The perception of wind industry is getting worse for one primary reason, fraud. The fraud that has carried this industry for decades is being exposed. Most notably the deliberate concealment of fatalities to millions of protected birds and bats. The industry designs studies and manipulates data to hide this impact. It is fraud in every sense of the meaning and I have new evidence to prove it. It was handed to me 2 days ago. The industry's use of 50 meter mortality search areas around their 2.3-2.MW turbines is more than enough to land participants and of this fraud in jail. This includes both wind personnel and researchers. All the FBI has to do is launch an investigation. If they do I will give them all the evidence they need. The fraud is there, the motive is money, and this industry is slaughtering off our protected wildlife. These are felonies. It is time to start rounding up the bad guys.
Troubled wind project target of FBI scrutiny
The project below is in Minnesota, but it's worth noting as some of the dynamics would appear to apply right here in Maine.
Here is contact information for the FBI field office in Boston:

It sounds as though they might wish to hear from us.
Troubled wind project target of FBI scrutiny, industry criticism
EXCERPT:
Four local critics of the $180 million wind project, representing opposition groups Goodhue Wind Truth and the Coalition for Sensible Siting, say they spent a January morning in St. Paul detailing their concerns to two FBI investigators. Developers have spent more than $15 million seeking state permits, according to a filing at the PUC, while local opposition has spent six figures in the protracted legal battle.
"(The FBI is) always interested to hear from citizens," said Marie McNamara, a Goodhue farmer who co-founded Goodhue Wind Truth. "I remember them saying they were hearing concerns from other citizens across Minnesota (about the wind industry). Overall, we were concerned about a lot of shenanigans. We were concerned about the investments and money being lost by local people."
Added Mary Hartman, a Rochester woman who attended the FBI meeting: "My impression was the FBI is very frustrated and they wanted to meet with us because we've been very active.

The Goodhue project had so many issues that project advocates once accused project opponents of throwing everything but the kitchen sink at them to block their getting a permit. This project altimately died because of ownership, financing and environmental issues. But the underlyng truth is that it should never have been permitted in the first place.

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.
