Turbine is a Danger to Workers, Kids, Riders and Hikers according to Manual
I call on everyone to ask the town of Wellfleet and the Wellfleet Energy Commission why they are building this turbine in a National Park that is enjoyed by hikers, kids and riders when Vestas tells their own workers to stay a 1/4 mile away.
This is from Vestas V90 operator manual a slightly larger wind turbine.
2. Stay and Traffic by the Turbine
Do not stay within a radius of 400m (1300ft) from the turbine unless it is necessary. If you have to
inspect an operating turbine from the ground, do not stay under the rotor plane but observe the rotor
from the front.
Make sure that children do not stay by or play nearby the turbine. If necessary, fence the foundation.
The access door to the turbine must be locked in order to prevent unauthorised persons from
stopping or damaging the turbine due to mal-operation of the controller.
