Was enough consideration given to the people of Maine on what the true impacts of wind power would do to
small communities ? I wonder what kind of response Governor Baldacci would have. What were the considerations? Fore just recently the Governor made a statement that would yet again have an enormous
inpact on ALL citizens of Oxford county. The proposal was to fly LOW level military flight and maneuvers
over Oxford County. Well we can't get too shook up at this moment, the Governor was in opposition to this proposal, but his response was as follows: "I wish to register my opposition to this proposal. I do not believe that serious consideration has been given to the impacts on the people of Maine, nor has the appropriate level of due diligence been conducted in this process and in the draft, (Enviromental Impact Statement)".

Hey can the people of Oxford County vote on that issue???

Unfortunately, as with many things which are taken for granted, we don't miss them until they are gone or degraded. PLEASE become informed about wind energy and take action to protect your property, your quality of life and OUR BEAUTIFUL WESTERN FOOTHILLS that Dixfield The Only One is known for.
DEPRECIATION of property value due to nearby wind development is a real threat!!

If only Baldacci would have allowed citizens and selectboards the time for " serious considerations to the impacts on the people of Maine " regarding wind turbines. As a " leader " one wonders why he has never stepped forward as our towns become ripped apart with the issues of wind farms . Surely, a leader's role is to recognize conflicts and address these conflicts, not just duck away from them.

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/
