It has become very apparent that there is significant conflicting technical information regarding the criteria for issuing a permit for this project. Maine; it's people, wildlife, tourism, businesses and more needs the economical and environmental aspects of such a project seriously reviewed. The impact of noise issues cannot be ignored any longer. Thank you.

Natural gas, coal and nuclear power are things that work. Taxpayer money spent on windpower is money squandered and wasted.
Why do we want to destroy every scenic vista in the mountains of Maine to meet the misquided goals and plans of a small group of people that have only their self-interest at heart?

Massive roads, clear cuts along the top of our ridges, miles of transmission lines just to get to the grid... all for a technology that operates at 20 - 30 percent of rated capacity? How is this legal?

Keep Maine scenic.

The people (we the people) have been meant to part of this process. Somehow we have lost that moral path. This is obvious by the recent actions of industrial wind power applications. Just asking for a reasonable and respectable level of accountability in the process.

Wind does not and will never be a viable alternative source of energy. If it is so great being green, clean, and free why does it have to be subsidized by Federal and State Governments ? The only thing Green about it is the dollars from our taxpayer wallets to foreign bottom feeders.

Rather than expedite this process, it should be slowed down. Why don't we see how the wind farms that are already in place work out before we blast the side off another mountain ridge. It's all madness, really. Please do the right thing.

There is no proven good to come of industrial wind development of mountain ridge lines. There is much detriment to animals, their habitats, and the human beings that live in and visit the area. If one is inclined to believe that there is a spiritual element to a wild place, surely the devastation to such places is a sacrilege. The idea that these projects are in the public interest is a farce.

These mountains represent the best of Maine's wild and beautiful places and tourism is our biggest industry. Keeping Maine beautiful translates into hundreds of thousands of jobs until the next ice age closes us down. We depend upon tourism dollars to feed us physically, and we rely on the mountains to feed us spiritually, for if God is anywhere, He's in the mountains. Don't allow them to be destroyed. Please. Please. Please. Thank you

We must discuss not only the present application but future implications such as the future installation of larger or taller turbines on the sites during "repowering" of the sites. Also, it must be understood by all that it is the responsibility of the developer to prove that the project will do what it is being installed to do and that the danger it addresses is real. i.e. that CO2 is driving climagte and that CO2 emissions will be reduced by the project.
