You&#8217;ll hear from those who experience the shadow flicker and ill health effects of the Hull and Falmouth Massachusetts turbines. You&#8217;ll see how another small town is gearing up for a fight against government and the goliath that is the big wind industry.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[Industrial wind projects are presented as a &#8220;green&#8221; way to produce energy. But standing on top of one of the world&#8217;s oldest mountains, watching forest and stone get blown away to make room for these behemoths — that tells a different story. There is no way to &#8220;un-blast&#8221; a ridge. Corporations of the world flock towards the capital these projects put in their pockets — they don&#8217;t care that they&#8217;re the most inefficient and expensive way to make clean energy, .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Friends Opposed to Energy from Wind: To date, there have been few clear, widespread public statements on the downsides of energy from wind. A statement via a billboard, I strongly feel, will reach the general public and incite questions. As elected officials are loathe to cross their electorate, hopefully the public will become more skeptical and influence their representatives to change their pro-wind or on-the-fence positions. The local newspapers and TV people could cover the story. I propose a .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An action alert came through from statewide and regional groups this morning. This relates to &#8220;public process&#8221; and takes us right back to August of ’09 when Vineyard elected officials unanimously expressed their opposition to the Oceans Management Act, which was, nevertheless and despite numerous citizen and federal governmental agency substantive criticisms, passed in December ’09. Background: The Oceans Act of 2008, followed by the 2009 Ocean Management Act, brought us to the Wind Energy Siting Reform Act [S.2260], currently .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

Tribal rights to Nantucket Sound deemed eligible to listing to the National Register of Historic Places is a key issue under consideration by Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar. The single most important comment you can make to assert the value of the historic integrity of Nantucket Sound exists before 5 PM tomorrow. This issue parallels your successful effort to retain the historic character .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

They are setting new laws and precedents that will affect the ENTIRE U.S. and beware, this battle will eventually happen in YOUR own backyard too. Sooner than you think. It is spreading like wildfire. Greeny Grinch Turbines! You&#8217;re a mean one, &#8220;Greeny Grinch&#8221;! &#8230; not as environmental .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[URGENT! &#8212; PLEASE SIGN OUR PETITION TO PRESERVE LOCAL CONTROL OVER INDUSTRIAL WIND TURBINE SITING AT WWW.GREENBERKSHIRES.ORG The governor and legislature are moving quickly to pass a bill to promote industrial wind development in every community within the Commonwealth. It targets the Berkshires and Highlands of western Massachusetts, and the coastal areas. The legislation, titled the Wind Energy Siting Reform Act, will remove local zoning control and veto power over onshore wind power plants of 2 megawatts (MW) or more. .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>
