Wind developer defies shutdown order

FAIRHAVEN - The developer of Fairhaven's two wind turbines decided Friday night to resume overnight turbine operation just five days after the Board of Health ordered the turbines be turned off overnight.
Palmer Capital Corporation President Gordon Deane wrote in a letter to town officials that the while the turbines had been "voluntarily curtailed" since Monday, "at present there is no legal obligation for Fairhaven Wind to curtail or alter its operations."[Cape Cod Times]

This represents a frightful reminder to towns considering wind power. Once you issue a permit to these corporate thugs, you have lost control .
