And what do they think will replace the turbines to treat their water? Coal or oil burning power plants! While that area usually is characterized as a bunch of Limousine Libs, they obviously are, in reality, rich, greedy Republicans who hate the environment.

the price was $10 million. Town officials say taking them down will cost an estimated $5 million to $15 million

Wow, that's quite an...um..."savings".

Even under the best circumstances they'll still need to be replaced every 15 to 20 years at ever greater "savings".

they're operating at a loss

And that's probably after all sorts of subsidies as well as the town's taxpayer money.

Those things are horrible. The jerks over at North Haven in Penobscot Bay put one of those up, right in one of the most beautiful and historic parts of the islands, and you can see it from all over the bay.

I've said from the start that this will be just like all those dams. First they built them everywhere for clean energy, and then they started tearing them down--for the fishes. The windmills will go for the sake of the birds, if not the nearby people.

But, first they have to put them all up, at enormous expense.

Surely the source of Solyndra-like Taxpayer-Green-energy-borrowed/printed money that paid for the POS, will now chip in to remove it.... right?

Windmill maker gets Federal kickbacks. Windmills installed at price. Windmills UNinstalled at a price. Local politicians get greased while taxpayers get hosed. I’d say those windmills did EXACTLY what they were intended to do.

Liberals.

Science is not their friend.

Math is not their friend.

Economics is not their friend.

Actually, I cannot think of any non-felon committing human who is their friend.

common sense could have prevented this waste to the taxpayers. as an avid environmentalist concerned with true stewardship of our resources and who works in the green industry it is my honest opinion that this technology, as is solar, is not to the point we can truly use it as a viable long term resources. However, geothermal, hydro are and we should be pushing resources in that direction. We need a conservative candidate who will push hard on green issues - true stewardship thru such as avenues. Where are they? They have to exist? If you know any please post. We are commanded by God to be stewards of the planet He gifted us. This is clearly a conservative cause that his been corrupted by the marxists.

The first turbine went up in 2010 and by the time both were in place on the industrial site of the town's water treatment facility, the price was $10 million. Town officials say taking them down will cost an estimated $5 million to $15 million, but that is just what Falmouth's five selectmen have decided to move toward doing.

Such bullshit.

How can an "estimate" range from $5 to 15 million?

That is not an estimate, that is a "town official" without a clue and the town did not have a contractor come in, investigate and then give an estimate.

Would you hire a contractor that gave you an estimate that had a range up to 300% of error?

No fair Mike, the only reason I clicked on this story was to see a picture of Molly Line.
