Despite fears over Clifton wind farm, no one has complained since it went up
http://bangordailynews.com/2017/04/21/energy/despite-fears-over-clifton-wind-farm-no-one-has-complained-since-it-went-up/CLIFTON, Maine — It’s been five months since a wind farm opened on Pisgah Mountain following seven years of planning, several lawsuits, at least seven townwide votes and fear over noise and bird fatalities.
But since the turbines went online on Dec. 17., no one has complained.
“There has not been one complaint. Not one loud noise complaint, and not one bird kill,” said developer Paul Fuller. Debbie Hodgins, administrative assistant at the Town Office confirmed that no one has filed a complaint against Pisgah Mountain since it started operations.
To prove that the five Vestas V90-1.8 megawatt wind turbines aren’t loud — and to show off the completed project — developers are holding an open house on the top of the mountain on Saturday from noon to 2 p.m.
