People have learned from the Portsmouth High School wind turbine fiasco just exactley what happens when you buy commercial wind turbines.

Towns like Portsmouth had wind turbine feasibility studies funded by the RIEDC.The Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation has spent hundreds of thousandsof dollars in a giant social give away program.

The feasability studies contained NO negative information about commercial wind turbines . The State of Rhode through the East Bay Energy Consortium was going into the commercial wind turbine business. If it hadn't been for the financial fiasco scheme and failure of the three million dollar turbine in Portsmouth this program would have continued with a loss of taxpayers hard earned money .

The RIEDC and the EBEC were bent on the commercial wind turbine business and they wanted to make it a government project complete with government six figure jobs for political appointments .

We need to learn from the Portsmouth High School wind turbine that these towns don't belong in a commercial project meant for private business !

The Town of Portsmouth would have been better off buying three million dollars worth of scratch lottery tickets than buying that broken down three year old wind turbine failure !

From: Bristol first in, first out of wind consortium
