Published by Chris Braithwaite, 2012

In the fall of 2011, as Green Mountain Power began construction of a major wind power development on Lowell Mountain in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, a small group of citizens decided to stop it. They had already tried to convince the state's utility regulators that the project was environmentally destructive and economically disastrous, and they had failed. This book is about their decision to carry on the fight. Howard Frank Mosher, whose novels have acquainted readers everywhere with the picaresque charm of the Northeast Kingdom, had this to say: "Chris Braithwaite's STAND AGAINST THE WIND is a fine, original book — a sobering and well-written examination of a truly grassroots effort to stop a corporate and governmental juggernaut from defiling one of northern Vermont's most remote and unspoiled mountains."
