OPINION: Mass DEP Complicit in Neglect
http://falmouth.patch.com/articles/opinion-mass-dep-complicit-in-neglect

"The noise elements emitted by a wind turbine too close to residents are those same ‘Enhanced Interrogation Techniques’ passively employed on terrorist detainees in GITMO. Symptomatic health complaints made by residents are similar to detainees enduring prolonged exposure to these type of elements."

2012 Vermont Long‐Range Transmission Plan—Public Review Draft, April 2012
http://www.velco.com/LongRange/Documents/2012LRTP_publicreviewdraft_asposted1.pdf

The northern portion of the state, where the wind generation potential is relatively high, lacks sufficient transmission to accommodate additional utility‐scale generation and the addition of new, utility‐scale projects will likely require transmission reinforcements.
