Living Green Project- Island Institute
Island Institute establishes unwavering partnerships with Maine’s island and working water front communities to help conserve island fragility and marine biodiversity for generations to come. Instead of leading the communities into different projects, the Island Institute shores up monetary, technological, and informational support. Such initiatives as the wind energy projects on the Fox Islands and Monhegan are entirely designed, developed, and owned by the community. As George Baker, CEO of Fox Island Wind, LLC, reflected, “There really is nothing cutting edge about this project, except for the way it was designed for and by the community as a distributive and locally owned generation that will serve as a model for other communities.”

Before you get too carried away with revering the Fox Island Wind project, you might want to capture the nightmare it has been for those who live close to the turbines and the lack of responsiveness and candor from the very same George Baker who claims to be such a guru. Vinalhaven is a model for how NOT to do a project, unless it is a guidebook for developers on how to con the community and get in turbines regardless of the consequences!
