Wind Turbine Promises Mostly Hot Air, Suit Charges
Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley has filed suit against Mark Howland, of East Freetown, and his business, WindTechCo, for making false and misleading representations in promoting the sale of wind turbines, failing to install turbines for which consumers paid, and installing unsafe wind power systems.
The complaint was filed in Fall River Superior Court before Judge Richard Moses. Judge Moses granted a temporary restraining order to stop Howland from soliciting sales of wind turbines and placed a freeze on Howland's bank accounts.
"We live in a time when it is crucial that we seek out alternative energy sources, including wind power, and Massachusetts has implemented some innovative programs to encourage alternative energy use" said Coakley. "It is troubling that individuals who were attempting to be more environmentally-conscious were not only taken advantage of financially, but also that their safety was put at risk by this unscrupulous contractor."
