Walden appeals to Lovell voters on solar

I'm a Lovell resident for the solar project. Voting against the moratorium. What Walden is trying to tell people is the benefits outweigh the few people's views that may be seeing some solar panels. The landowners are not clear-cutting their Land. Walden, by law can only cut 20% of what they are leasing. Unlike some people on Christian Hill that have clear cut ALL their land... For a better view. . My opinion is, it's their land and if that's what they wanted to do was clear cut it all, then it's their right to do what they want with their land. You say "don't move into my house and make rules" but that's exactly what your doing to the landowners. Trying to tell them what they can and can't do with their land. Your trying to dictate the rules about their land and what they can do with it. That's not right. The people that are against the solar projects are the ones that have lawyers and telling Walden people to get ready to spend a lot of money.. I'm for the benefits of saving out environment and having clean energy in Lovell. The town of Lovell and it's taxpayers will benefit from the 147,000 each year with zero services rendered by the town, there will be no sighting of the panels from Kezar Lake, Kezar pond, Mount Sabbatus. I have children and Grandchildren that will benefit by having clean energy in place. Make it a great day.

“And we have a town that has zoning in place that we believe adequately regulates this project. And we have a right to proceed under that zoning ordinance. So I think our intention is to move forward.”

And that should be all you need to know about their intentions. Don't be fooled by all the smooth talk or wordsmithing that is being employed here.

They see people here as uneducated rubes that can be easily be manipulated. Trust me, after the soft-sell fails it will be the bare-knuckle approach with lawyers, paper snowstorms, and huge expenses.

These solar farms should be built where the demand is the highest, Portland and the coast. But we all know why that isn't the first choice.

What a couple of snake oil salesmen! Lovell has every statutory right to call time out and adopt reasonable local zoning. They tried to ram it in with no rules in place, but the town is onto them. Don't move into my house and try to dictate the rules. There are plenty of places to properly site solar "farms" but Lovell is only attractive to these speculators because Lovell hasn't yet written rules/zoning. These slackers should cut their losses, save their money and find another town and location. Their New York City bravado alone should be enough to make Lovell voters send them packing.
