Dear John Wassam,
I am a Selectmen here in West Brookfield, MA. With
that, We, the town
voted in June 5ht, 2018, a very anti-solar bylaw
of which has a pretty stringent decommissioning
section which states a Solar Company has to give
the town US$100,000.00 per
megawatt in cash up front before the building
inspector issues the building permit.
Now, other surrounding town have adopted the
bylaw or parts there of. I also heard
we are the first in the nation to do this..
Which helps the town and the surrounding
towns.
Also, while co writing the bylaw, I also did
research on the Chemicals used
in making the Solar Panel and came up with an
extensive list.
Solar companies come into small towns like outs
and they state, “when done, you
can just throw them in the local land fill, they
are NON TOXIC.” Quite the contrary,
they are very toxic to the environment. Very.. I
have attached that listing along
with our bylaw and AJ acceptance of the bylaw.
If any questions or need me to give a
presentation on our findings, I would be
willing to come do that.
Thanks for your time,
Dan
