When faced with the prospect of dozens of fifty story, 400 ton turbines located in and around their community, the overwhelming majority of towns in New Hampshire have fought to reject the bulldozing, blasting and deforestation that takes place in order to install miles and miles of gargantuan 500 foot tall turbines across verdant ridgelines and mountains that would look like these pictures except worse given that these are only forty story turbines.

​

Local ecosystems are fractured and fragmented for animals; and humans are potentially subject to shadow flicker, noise pollution and the vibrations that fifty story turbines with 200 foot blades emit. In addition, most turbines are placed in remote areas, requiring miles and miles of roads that must be created to deliver and service the turbines.  All for a very low-capacity amount of energy that rarely corresponds to grid demand. {ISO-NE-Wind Integration Study}

Offshore wind has been "floated" as a solution to the environmental and ecological siting issues associated with onshore wind.  However, offshore wind has proven, as the residents of Nantucket's debris strewn beaches know, anything but environmentally benign.

Wind accounts for a small fraction of New Hampshire/New England generation but a big set of problems for towns confronted with a wind developer with deep pockets for lawyers, PR people and marketing efforts. NHWW stands ready to supply fact based and credibly sourced data and resources to help counter the well-financed campaign of a wind developer.
