Windfall showing in Plainfield

Eleanor Tillinghast

The movie Windfall is showing in Plainfield on Friday, December 2nd, 7:00 p.m. at the Plainfield Safety Complex.

Please alert your friends to the showing of this film.

Here is a description of the film from its website:

Wind power… it’s sustainable … it burns no fossil fuels…it produces no air pollution. What’s more, it cuts down dependency on foreign oil. That’s what the people of Meredith, in upstate New York first thought when a wind developer looked to supplement the rural farm town’s failing economy with a farm of their own – that of 40 industrial wind turbines. WINDFALL, a beautifully photographed feature length film, documents how this proposal divides Meredith’s residents as they fight over the future of their community. Attracted at first to the financial incentives that would seemingly boost their dying economy, a group of townspeople grow increasingly alarmed as they discover the impacts that the 400-foot high windmills slated for Meredith could bring to their community as well as the potential for financial scams. With wind development in the United States growing annually at 39 percent, WINDFALL is an eye-opener that should be required viewing for anyone concerned about the environment and the future of renewable energy.

There is a $3.00 per person charge at the door.

If you have any questions, please contact Ed Stockman from Plainfield.
