Hi Nettie,
I just watched Episode 1, which is posted on this site and I plan to go to your site later and hopefully watch all the episodes in sequence. I believe I've seen one of those California passes from a high point in Joshua Tree. Seems wherever they go, they work with the same centrally planned playbook.
By all means feel free to post.

Hi Long Islander,
Very funny but serious comment. I would like to post your comment on my website. Please visit my website at http://web.me.com/thrnotgreen/thrnotgreen Take a look at Episode 6, Dr. Smallwood talks about the wind turbine killing fields at Altamont Pass.

The wind industry is against the birds but also for the birds.
The wind industry is fond of the parrrots in the media that essentially copy & paste their press releases. They also are quite partial to all the shovelers in government and of course their mercenary PR firms. They also favor the dodo's, extinct everywhere, except within various levels of government. They themselves are often turkeys but even more often chickens, vultures or redbreasted subsidy suckers.
Here in Maine we are very much looking forward to Governor Baldacci's swan song. If he ever has to make a living "in the wild" where he can't feed off subsidies or favors, his goose will be cooked.
Their corporate PR handbook teaches them to label those whose lives have been devastated by the massive turbines and requisite power lines as NIMBY's. But such folks are simply the canaries in the coal mines - the first to be affected by this scam which one day will be more known than Ponzi's. And the Citizens' Task Force on Wind Power will be their albatross for as long as it takes.

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT
******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********
(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/
