An email template is below - please customize with your own wording. Please spread the word to family and friends, and join us on Facebook. Thank you, Friends of Falmouth Wind -- Email Template -- Falmouth MA Residents Only Please To: selectmen@falmouthmass.us cc: falmouthwindfriends@gmail.com Re: Please APPEAL ZBA denial of Wind1 special permit Dear Falmouth Selectmen, I urge your board to appeal the ZBA's decision to deny a special permit for Wind1. The ZBA ruling was based on emotion and anecdotes, not facts and data. In May 2013, all nine precincts voted against removal of the town's wind turbines. The Falmouth Board of Health sent your board a letter (dated 10/19/15) stating that public health research finds wind turbines are harmless to nearby residents. Major studies have shown no impact on property values. The 300+ acre wastewater plant is an appropriate location for wind turbines. The threat of climate change grows clearer every year - especially for coastal communities. Let's NOT waste millions of dollars to remove clean energy infrastructure. Let's run the turbines, mitigate affected homes, and generate revenue to benefit the entire town. Thank you, INSERT NAME AND FALMOUTH ADDRESS HERE
