[Bill Carson]

The residential wind turbine that was installed about a year ago at Rte 240 and Rte 195 looks to have fallen apart since the storm a few days ago.It looka like only about half of the turbine is still up .The local paper will not comment on the turbine,Whats up ? Is this one of those former state rep wind turbines ???

Look over Howland's botched jobs. The story on it in the 6/19/08 issue (on the website archives page: www.neighbnews.com ), page 17.

The planned factory of turbines for southeastern Massachusetts will not fulfill the promised energy amounts touted by the big corporations who sponsor them. It would be important for all of us to know the factual results from wind turbines actually built, such as at Massachusetts Maritime. We subsidized construction of that turbine and we ought to have open and public information as to its actual output, not general numbers put out by the public relations folks. What exactley is the Wind Energy siting Reform Act and why no public education about the proposed act? How did all the former Big Dig contractors all of sudden become commercial wind turbine contractors ?
