    Wendy Todd's Sept. 26, 2007, testimony to Maine wind energy task force

    Author:  Todd, Wendy

    “… the land that was once known for its remote nature, wildlife and solitude is now home to an industrial power plant. For anyone to say that a wind turbine facility has a low impact on the local environment is irresponsible. Yet the industry and the media surrounding it seem insistent on making light of the problems that exist. The problems are real and they are hurting families emotionally, physically and economically. …”

    Testimony of Wendy Todd to Maine legislature, April 30, 2007

    Author:  Todd, Wendy

    Senators, Representatives, and Committee Members,
    Thank you for allowing me to speak. My name is Wendy Todd. I am from Aroostook County. I am a resident of Mars Hill and live approximately 2600 feet from the Mars Hill Wind Project. I am here today to offer testimony that residents around the project are suffering. There are 18 families that I know of that are negatively impacted on a regular basis from the noise, strobe effect and shadow flicker from the turbines. . . .

    Rebuttal testimony of Thomas Hewson Jr.

    Author:  Hewson, Tom

    “In the filed summary statements by the applicant, Conservation Law Foundation and Ed Holt & Associates, challenges were made to my filed and direct testimony provided to the Commission on behalf of the Friends of the Western Mountains. They challenged my four major findings, namely:
    “• Project power output estimates unsupported and likely overstated
    “• No demonstrated need for the Redington Mountain Wind project
    “• Project’s local economic impacts unstudied with no examination of offsetting economic costs
    “• Project will provide no incremental air . . .
