A Boston area developer is looking to put up a dozen wind turbines in the southern Worcester County town of Douglas, near a state forest and a mile or two north of the CT/RI/MA border.  If built, it would have the potential to power as many as 8500 homes.

There is a lot of things that need to be approved first, but if done it would be in a wooded area off Route 16 where there is little residential development.  The turbines would reach potentially 300 feet high, and the blades will likely be visible from parts of nearby Webster... especially along the lakefront of Lake Webster.
