This wind project will cause the destruction of our beautiful land, where the grid is something many choose, or still live without, to send "clean" energy off to some city or corporation out of the U.P. This quote is very appropriate. “The whole back-to-the-land movement that we embraced has to do with simplifying your lifestyle … Continue reading Those who choose to live here have not done so to industrialize it for others benefits.
Drone view from Mt. Arvon
Nov 5, 2016 - Drone view from Mt. Arvon Mount Arvon, Michigan's highest point at 1979.238 feet. At least 4 proposed Turbines are located on and around this peak. With the other 30 to 130 taking up the rest of the vista and viewshed.

Wind Energy production as fickle as – The wind.
How much energy do wind turbines produce? Every wind turbine has a range of wind speeds, typically around 30 to 55 mph, in which it will produce at its rated, or maximum, capacity. At slower wind speeds, the production falls off dramatically. If the wind speed decreases by half, power production decreases by a factor … Continue reading Wind Energy production as fickle as – The wind.
Lake Superior Action Research Conservation: roads and blasting issues when putting turbines in the Lake Superior watershed.
This Document by lsarc.ca, is very relevant and highlights the same issues and environmental damages the Huron Mountain project will cause. This project was proposed just like the The Huron Mountains are a part of the Canadian Shield. So the geology and location are very similar. It also points out how it is against the Great … Continue reading Lake Superior Action Research Conservation: roads and blasting issues when putting turbines in the Lake Superior watershed.
Sales Pitch: Industrial Turbines are Quiet – FALSE
We have not posted as much on turbine noise, as it will have an effect primarily on the wildlife, and anyone in the the area, hiking, or hunting. Listen here: The sales pitch newer industrial turbines are only as loud as a refrigerator. What they do not add is that it sounds like a refrigerator … Continue reading Sales Pitch: Industrial Turbines are Quiet – FALSE
Germany’s Wind Farms Are Ticking Time Bombs, A ‘Significant Danger’ To Environment!
P Gosselin on 22. June 2018 As Germany’s nearly 30,000-strong fleet of wind turbines approach 20 or more years in age, the list of catastrophic collapses is growing more rapidly. The turbines are now being viewed by technical experts as “ticking time bombs.” According to a commentary by Daniel Wetzel of online German Daily ‘Die Welt’, the aging rickety … Continue reading Germany’s Wind Farms Are Ticking Time Bombs, A ‘Significant Danger’ To Environment!
Conventional Wind Energy – A Design Deadly for Birds
A 2013 study published in The Wildlife Society Bulletin found that wind turbines killed an estimated 573,000 birds annually in the United States. And that figure was 4 years ago. According to U.S. Wind Energy State Facts ( Oct. 2016), there are over 52,000 wind turbines installed across 40 U.S. States plus Puerto Rico & … Continue reading Conventional Wind Energy – A Design Deadly for Birds
New study pinpoints birds of prey as hardest hit by wind farms
31 Oct 2017 | BirdLife A new study has revealed which bird and bat species are most at risk of collision with wind turbines, with birds of prey and migratory birds coming top of the list. This research is the first to take a global view of the problem, and pinpoints some possible solutions to … Continue reading New study pinpoints birds of prey as hardest hit by wind farms
