How Did Federal Regulators Overlook The F/V Mistress
Following the loss of the vessel F/V Mistress on January 1, 2019, BOEM funded an environmental monitoring program at the nearby Block Island Wind Farm. During the final day of a biological dive survey later in 2019, field researchers documented anomalous debris on the seafloor..The individuals explicitly tied to managing, authoring, and reviewing these specific 2019…See More
F/V Mistress Block Island: "Neither Confirm Nor Deny"
When official public government documents are widely circulated, and thousands have them online, only to be ignored by the government later, it points to a shift from the Green agenda to political strategy. In 2019, maritime interests argued for 2-nautical-mile spacing between ocean turbines. The Coast Guard and BOEM approved 1-nautical-mile spacing..If the F/V Mistress…See More

Mandatory 2-Nautical-Mile Offshore Wind Turbine Spacing
The 2-nautical-mile spacing of offshore wind turbines should be mandatory. Maritime safety, commercial fishing operations, and search-and-rescue limitations require larger setbacks. Wind developers typically favor a tighter 1-nautical-mile grid to maximize financing for submarine cables. .The past U.S. administrations set an unachievable goal of deploying 30 gigawatts…See More

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/

Sign up today and lend your voice and presence to the steadily rising tide that will soon sweep the scourge of useless and wretched turbines from our beloved Maine countryside. For many of us, our little pieces of paradise have been hard won. Did the carpetbaggers think they could simply steal them from us?
We have the facts on our side. We have the truth on our side. All we need now is YOU.
