Greetings--

As you know, I believe that the PSC [Public Service Commission of Wisconsin] proceedings on Wisconsin Electric's Glacier Hills wind project will generate much of the factual foundation for the forthcoming rulemaking on wind permitting standards. I would like to call your attention to testimony submitted by three expert witnesses hired on behalf of the applicant. These documents were filed this Tuesday. The witnesses are.

Richard Larkin - State Certified Real Estate Appraiser. His testimony rebuts CWESt property values "study."

William Roberts - PhD in Epidemiology, Former faculty member with the Medical College of Wisconsin (Dept. of Preventative Medicine), former Oklahoma State Epidemiologist. His testimony discusses Nina Pierpont's "research" and rebuts CWESt's acoustical consultant.

Geoff Leventhall - acoustical consultant, PhD in Acoustics. His testimony discusses low frequency noise and rebuts CWESt's acoustical consultant.

Even though these filings take the form of rebuttal testimony, they can stand on their own. You need not read the filings they rebut in order to make sense out of what they're saying. Of all the documents I've read over the years that address wind energy impacts on human health and property values, this group of submission is the strongest IMO. The value of these documents to future wind development in North America is inestimable.

These filings will be entered into the record when the technical hearings begin on November 2nd.
