Here is a link that you all may be interested in. http://iopscience.iop.org/1748-9326/6/3/035103/pdf/1748-9326_6_3_035103.pdf. It was published in 2011 in IOPScience. The website for that organization is IOPscience.iop.org.
The study was conducted by a group of scientist from Sweden. It is fairly detailed, but informative.
I would be interested in hearing what you think.
I've just returned from a drive to Falmouth and Bourne so that I could see and hear the turbines for myself,something I intended to do before the WW rhetoric became so intense, in order to form my own opinion on what is being so hotly debated,not just in Fairhaven but in communities all over our country. I suggest everyone who can, make the easy trip to the Upper Cape where you can drive up to nearly the base of the Falmouth and Mass Maritime turbines. Then come back to Fairhaven and immediately drive down Little Bay Road and through the neighborhoods that edge where the two turbines would be, so you can visualize what they might look like, hear like and feel like in that area. I've done this with an open mind and I will read this study with one as well. Then with the research that I have done on my own I will be educated and prepared to vote on the articles at the Special Town Meeting. The time has come to turn down the volume and stop tearing life-long friendships apart and get down to the real questions:Will the continuation of the turbine project pass legal muster? and Is the project being located in the appropriate area for our town. I believe that the day is coming when all communities will have alternate forms of energy that will not only benefit the environment or our bank accounts,but also reduce or eliminate our need for foreign oil ~ thus saving future generations from having to wage war to get what reserves my be left. To get to that point U.S. citizens will experience the growing pains of some successes, some mistakes and certainly some inconvenient disruptions to our present way of life. I guess the biggest question of all is, "Is Fairhaven ready now to what it takes, or do let the next generation decide?".
ReplyDeletedang lot of typos ... but you get my drift
ReplyDeleteI bet any town with a wind tubine has heard of fairhaven people Watch out wind turbines attract fairhaven people.
ReplyDeleteQuestion yet to be answered according to windwise.
ReplyDeleteDoes the town have a hard plan where the "wind turbine refugees" will go?
if you suffer from WTS and you flee as wind refugee we need to have plenty of water, tents, flashlights and blankets.
John will you support money to Civil Defense to house the refugees? YES or NO?
It is a "loaded" question. Since all you want is a YES or NO answer, I decline to give on.
ReplyDeleteshould read ".. decline to give one."
