Update on the Filing of Antitrust Complaint

The Antitrust Complaint seems to have successfully been received by hundreds of people across New York, Vermont, and Pennsylvania. We have learned of quite a few wind proposals and advocacy groups that are new to us. In talking with many of these fine folks the last couple of days we have received strong confirmation that the Market Allocation alleged in the towns in our Complaint (and the subsequent price fixing) js replicated in all of the other locales as well. So the magnitude of the problem, and the size of the conspiracy, is even greater than we knew.

Several individuals/groups have asked if they should also file Complaints. My response is that the Department Of Justice would certainly be interested in objective and factual information which reflects or indicates violations of federal statute. The DOJ website has two very useful documents that lay out the law and the process for filing a complaint. I would encourage interested parties to check these out:

www.usdoj.gov/atr/contact/newcase.htm

www.usdoj.gov/atr/public/guidelines/209114.htm

As an alternative to preparing your own Complaint (which we know to be quite time-consuming), individuals or groups may consider filing an Addendum to our Complaint that:

1. Expresses your support for the Complaint.

2. Describes why you believe the developers have carried out market allocation or price fixing in your locale. I would suggest including all the facts that you have including names, dates, business structure or ownership, inappropriate interface with public officials, attempts to harass or intimidate ... any issues or situations that you believe to be pertinent to the Complaint.

3. Includes names and addresses of all involved in the addendum.

Complaints or Addendums may be submitted to antitrust.complaints@usdoj.gov

Please bounce back with any comments or questions. We will be glad to assist you in any way that we can.

Also, if you have not yet had a chance to get the Press Release out to all the media outlets you can think of please take a few minutes to get the word out.

Thank you all for your help and participation
