http://www.wickedlocal.com/scituate/town_info/government/x1489206451/Interest-in-wind-turbines-picks-up-steamNow that the town’s Renewable Energy Committee has figured out that a wind turbine at the Waste Water Treatment Plant could save the town money, selectmen are talking about putting more turbines throughout the town.
Bill Limbacher, of the Renewable Energy Committee, presented the selectmen Tuesday with the results of a feasibility study on putting a wind turbine at one of two places near the treatment plant.
After looking at factors such as wind speed and noise pollution, the committee has determined that a turbine is viable. Of the three different sized turbines looked at by the committee, the less powerful could cover all of the plant’s energy needs 85 percent of the time.
Any size turbine, Limbacher said, would save the town more money than they would cost.
