Legislators Use Berkshire Hearing Venue to Sell Wind Bill

On September 7, 2011 Wind Wise members will be taking a day off from work and getting their children to school early, on what is for many communities the second day of the school year. They will be on their way to Hancock for the first of two public hearings on the controversial bill to expedite land-based wind projects.  The 10:00 a.m. meeting will be held at the Jiminy Peak ski resort, site of a 1.5 MW turbine.

The Wind Wise group has characterized the Committee’s decision as a transparent attempt to promote the siting bill—H01775 and S01666—which stalled in the last session.
