<p>It seems this reporter was prevented from continuing this series of reports from the Top. After having spoken with two individuals who were scheduled to be interviewed for the series a person can only draw this conclusion. </p>

<p>The reporter tried hard but was out of her depth. There were a number of statements that should be challenged. Especially the conclusion that there will be public hearings and that there will be time for people to learn more and have a say. (I'm paraphrasing.) Patrick Woodcock said that the proposals are in the 'early stages" and the target is 300 wind turbines total for the state.

<p>The reporter tried hard but was out of her depth. There were a number of statements that should be challenged. Especially the conclusion that there will be public hearings and that there will be time for people to learn more and have a say. (I'm paraphrasing.) Patrick Woodcock said that the proposals are in the 'early stages" and the target is 300 wind turbines total for the state. (Someone correct me if I get anything wrong.)The best part was the interview with Mike Gosselin in Mars Hill and he said 'this has broken my spirit' and he showed us his nearly soundproof room that he has to retreat to. He said the $3,000 he was offered for letting them put 7 utility poles on his land was enticing. Didn't really include him saying whether he took the money. Woodcock said local communities should be able to see benefits from the 'wind farms'. They showed an Oct. 2015 IF&W map of current and proposed turbine sites. Woodcock said that we need to be 'strategic'. He's director of the Governor's Energy Policy (not sure that's exactly his title). Reporter allowed that their are two views on this source of renewable energy. Posed, Are they good for the state? showed that the electricity was going to Mass. Rhode Island and Connecticutt and that the proposed sites are in the western mountains and Aroostook County.</p>
