UPC MARS HILL: RESIDENTS SPEAK

Some UPC Residents express themselves on their EXPERIENCE living with the Mar's Hill Wind Farm in a Maine centric blog. Good luck Cohocton, you'll need it! - Formosa

"We are not just 4. We are MOST of the north and east side residents. They are loud. Really loud. I can stand the sight of them..."

"I have to say that originally we supported the windmills and enjoyed them, however, we weren't aware of the many problems our neighbors were having and we do support our neighbors more."

"I also have been told that our town manager has sold his home to the windmill company and it will be used for their offices etc......seems like a conflict of interest to me. He should not have a personal financial gain from this company....he should be asked to resign on that basis alone. And not reading the reports and applications he signed in the name of the town is also criminal!"

"Have you seen the first for sale sign? It's up."

"We are just at the right angle that the strobing doesn't last long. I'm not sure if it will change seasonally as the tilt of the earth changes, but right now it's very brief. Really threw me though the first time I experienced it as I thought there was something wrong with the lights... but the lights weren't on."

"I've felt the disorientation, but from the sound. It was much worse earlier around Christmas when they first started running them. We wear earplugs sometimes just to get a break from them now."
