Comments on the Brekenridge, MI wind farm area bus tour

‪Isabella Wind Watch Are we talking Breckenridge MI? Those people may want to do some research on how school enrollment numbers in Breckenridge schools and the other schools in that area where turbines are sited have dropped. Then tell them to check the tax tribunal to see how some of the turbines in Gratiot County had their tax base appealed...then let them know that we have had people in that area claim they are not getting paid what they were promised...others complaining of noise and one who says his field tile was destroyed and never properly repaired.

And when they stop the bus to listen for noise, tell DTE to make sure the turbines are producing electricity at name plate production, big difference in noise levels.

A note from Save Rural Communities:

The turbine blades could be disengaged from the actual turbine engine that produces electricity. The blades spin but do  not make the loud noise that they do when the engine is running and all the gears are turning inside the generator.
It would explain why people return from a bus tour impressed with how quiet they are. The energy corporations do things to deceive and mislead people. Finding out too late that you have been deceived, is too late.
A better idea for a bus tour is to take your own tour to an area that has lived in the shadow of wind turbines and has worked hard to fight the problems caused by them, such as the thumb area of Michigan. Go without the knowledge of the wind corporation, and drive up near the turbines, observe, stop in several places, talk to people and think what it would be like to live with that sound, with shadow flicker and under high voltage power lines.
