There are two laws that are not being enforced on the wind energy at the present time. The Bald Eagle Act and Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The laws are not being enforced.

California Energy Comission Testimony, February 20, 1986, Potrero Hills. Page 1, Page 2, Page 3. This testimony should have stopped any large scale wind turbine development with this statement on page 3.

Lets throw money at the problem, $135,000 into a study to solve the problem of killing protected species. (WINDMILLS KILLING GOLDEN EAGLES) Independent July 5, 1989 . Part 1, Part 2,

AVAIN MORTALITY AT WIND TURBINE FACILITES IN CALIFORNIA (Calif. Energy Commission 1988) Through logical deduction , however, biologists considering the problem in the past did conclude, "That wind turbine projects had the potential to result in bird collision problems if they were built close to areas where birds concentrate." (Haussler, 1980. Cal.Energy Commission) Page 1,2,3,4,5,6,7.

ALARM response to Why Study of The Problem? Windmills do Kill Eagles December 1989, Page 1., 2., 3., 4.

Delta Airlines magazine Sky June 1990, this is the usual story that makes people feel so good about windmills. There is little said about the environmental damage, visual and noise impacts local people have to deal with. Page 4

People that write pro windmill articles should include information about the damage to the environment. The Golden Eagle below had her wing and head cut off by the windmills in the background.It is impossible to tell how many hundreds of birds and protected species have been killed at the windmill sights.

GOLDEN EAGLE KILLED BY COLLISION WITH WINDMILL

P.G.&E. WINDMILL DEMOLISHED 1989 P.G.&E. proved that large wimdmills had big problems. The bearings that supported the blades would not hold up. There was two of these giant windmills built and were taken down with explosives and scraped. California utility customers paid for this folly. I wrote to United States Dept of The Interior Fish and Wild Service about the problem, raptors and protected species getting killed by windmills. Please look at the dates and remember that there is newpaper articles like the Independent front page of July 5, 1989 that says eagles are getting killed by windmills at Altamont. Residents object to more windmills Tribune July 30, 1989. The Letter from USFWS 4/90 is their reply to the problem. Notice the date of the reply. I wrote to Senator Pete Wilson. The Senator wrote the service. The Letter to Senator Pet Wilson from USFWS 6/90 their reply to the problem. USFWS knew all the information contained in the Biosystems reports. Biosystems report 89-90 front,Biosystems report 89-90 back Herald story 7/4/90 Wind Farm Bird Deaths, Ban on New Sites Feared. Please notice the date and what they say of the problem. Letter from Senator Pete Wilson 7/90 to Darryl Mueller about the problem. One of other ignored problem that flies in the face of the environment is the gear oil leakage from the windmills. Windmills like these show signs of oil leakage, notice how the back side of the blade is brown and the dark line on the back edge where oil runs down the blade and goes into the environment.This oil is toxic to the cattle that are grazing on the grass below.

Biosystems report 89-90 front * This information was available and the problem was ignored.

Biosystems report 89-90 back * This information was available and the problem was ignored.

The Draft Biosystems report 60 Eagles kill 3/92 * This information is being ignored.

Final Biosystems report 39 eagles 3/92 * Notice how the final report changes the number of eagles killed*

U.S. Windpower presents $100,000.00 to Director of US Fish and Wildlife Service, John Turner, who gives the check to The Peregrine Fund. The Founding Chairman and Director Tom J. Cade has worked on several studies to resolve the Raptor Problem.

Wind turbines generate power at high cost to electric consumers. Customers to P.G.&E. pay higher utilility bills to off set the cost of wind generated elictricty. Read the newspaper article from the Times, Cogen Energy Burns Consumers 2/93. 4% Alternative energy cost two times more than 75% of the power generated. Why should this be allowed to continue, with high cost to consumers and the killing of Golden Eagles and other raptors? Does anybody see a problem ?

US Windpower Kenetech moving oversize crane without permit

In September 9, 1995 Kenetech U.S. Windpower proposed to replace USW 56-100 with the large 33m at a ratio of 2 to 1. To keep an equal blade area 3.7 would be the correct ratio. These giants have a 108 ft. 4 in. blade diamater and are 177 ft. high. We said no in The Response to EIR Notice Of Preparation. Page 1.,2., 3., No other hearings because of bankruptcy.

The new law suit. Center for Biological Diversity, Jeff Miller,  File Lawsuit For Massive Illegal Bird Kills At Altamont Pass, CA, Wind Farms.

JANUARY 12, 2004, LAWSUIT                  This could includes verbage for off site mitigation.

NEWS PAPER COVERAGE of The Lawsuit

California Energy Plan  2/12/02 This is important because it admits how unreliable windenergy is and lead to blackouts. 1000 megawats is only worth is counted as 250 megawats. California could produce real cheep power. California's continues to spend millions of California's utility users money on this non reliable form of power. With the heavy spending that Gray Davis did and no concern for cheep and reliable  energy California had power blackouts. We were hoping that this wreckless give away of money would stop.

With the 2003 Special Recall Election Gray Davis, supported and backed by California Unions was thrown out of office. 

Govenor Arnold Schwarzenegger could make a difference, and spend money into affordable reliable generation of power. Instead programs to renew windmills, and put solor pannels systems on houses continues.  The cost of this to produce power is off the charts and is funded by Public Utility Programs it can't support it's self. Only with Production Tax Credits and other Subsidies can it operate. The end result higher taxes to pay for the programs. 1.5 cents per kw. conventional power, aulternive's power can range 6 or more times.

The Montana Battle Against U.S. Windpower A phone call one night from Ron Wiggins a Rancher in Big Timber, Montana saying, "US Windpower wants to put windmills here in Montana, at Browning, Livingston, Glacier and Yellowstone, can you help us?" YES,we will help! Over the months that followed many phone calls and faxes were sent from The Altamont Pass to Big Timber Montana. The people won the battle in Montana, and we have some of the newspaper headlines and letters. When the truth is told wind energy can not stand on its own.

Nigal Barns has a very informative site.

MAIWAG - Marton, Askam & Ireleth Windfarm Action Group

Marton, Askam and Ireleth are neighbouring villages located in the south of Cumbria just outside the Lake District National Park.
We formed following the construction of PowerGen Renewables's windfarm which towers over our villages. We are ordinary people who have been kickstarted into action by the terrible noise, visual and environmental affect that the turbines have had on us and our once peaceful and beautiful countryside.

Specific and up-to-date information about the proposed wind-powered electricity generating project in the Town of Addison, Washington County, Wisconsin, USA. An incredible website detailing a year long struggle that local residents have been undertaking in northeastern Wisconsin, USA against a 33 turbine development close to 800 homes. This website pulls no punches and there is a mass of information on this site from Airplanes crashing into turbines to property devaluationinformation.

Why this site is special: Most information available on wind energy is put together by the wind industry or renewables lobbyists. We have carefully researched the topic to bring you
accurate information that the wind industry will not tell you. Our information sources are listed throughout the site so you can confirm the accuracy of the
information, or do more research yourself.

ALARM found out about the settlement in the newspaper. This behind closed door settlement gives Livermore a 40 million ton mega dump, pays Livermore 50 million to dump on their over the hill Altamont neighbors. Dump September 28, 1999

Altamont Landowners Against Rural Mismanagement was originally formed because of Los Vaqueros project, Contra Costa Water Department wanted to relocate Vasco Rd. through Dyer Rd. Our effort helped to relocate Vasco Rd. to the more direct, County Line route saving the environmental damages to Brushy Creek , Dyer Rd., and Altamont Pass Rd.

Since the late 80's we have voiced concern's over, The large numbers of protected species that have been killed at the Altamont Pass. Raptor mortality by windmills, Windmills placed in raptor habitat, Waste Management and U.S. Windpower's erection of windmills on the buffer zone between the dump and Dyer Rd., Realignment of Altamont Pass Rd., at Carrol Rd. Expansions of Waste Management Altamont Hills, Contra Costa County imports, Water quality, health, property values and land fill traffic.

We are trying to perserve our way of life and environment, at The Altamont Pass. We are also very concerned and want to perserve property owners rights. Altamont Pass has a very small population due inpart to large parcel zoning of Alameda County. The Altamont Pass area of windmills is 80 sq. miles.

Altamont Landowners Against Rural Mismanagement is a Nevada Corporation. All information is belived to be accurate information . This information is a matter of public record, and we can only guarantee that. We want the public to become aware of what is going on today. This is a volunteer effort.
