The presentations can be found here: http://www.ceert.org/pubs/awea.html. Lincoln Township Moratorium Report Wind energy opponents have pointed to the Moratorium Report from Lincoln Township, Wisconsin, in recent years as evidence of wind energy's negative impacts. An "excerpts" document has circulated that supposedly paraphrases that report. AWEA here provides the actual complete report.
In addition, Mick Sagrillo, chairman of the Town of Lincoln Wind Turbine Moratorium Study Committee, has provided comments to the "excerpts" document. These informative comments can be downloaded here:
One or two-page issue briefs covering the full range of issues, including wind energy costs, economics, environment, market and policy. For a list of titles in available in Adobe PDF format go to: www.awea.org/pubs/factsheets.html.
