Not gonna happen. This thing will be tied up in the courts for years and years, court case after court case. By then Ken Saladbar will be gone. Gone with the wind.

snowgo was correct. I called CMP and was told the same thing. These smart meters will not benefit the ratepayer at all. Anything we may be told to the contrary is bogus.
Of course! They only have a month to go before the year is up. They are only half way to their goal and state that they will meet that goal. To meet it, they must have 6 more months. Ergo, they lie and say it is only 6 months old. People who watch t…

This picture should be given to the Interfaith Power & Light people with a quotation that goes ....
"What God has wrought, let no man put asunder."
If God made these mountains, they are surely being put asunder .... forever.

When I used to watch the TV I would tune in to Mystery on PBS. Nine times out of ten that a**hole Rob Gardiner would be on schlepping for other people's money. He could talk the hind legs off a donkey! On and on he would go, pleading for donations a…
I hope he gets as passionate about stamping number plates while trying not to drop the soap in the showers.
Is there any regulation that requires them to file notice of the spraying either on site or with some government body? If a person with a hyper-sensitivity to chemicals were to request in writing of the wind companies and state to be notified of the…
I doubt that they will use aerial spraying. As someone who has worked with lifeflights for years, I do not know of any fixed wing pilots (or choppers) who fly any where close to these metal critters. It will most likely be applied by some person who…
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. But, as you stated, it will be very difficult to find out the truth. It would be good to have someone see what chemicals they are hauling to the ridge sited locations. Especially right now, this season.…
First time I've ever agreed with George Will on anything.
So how long will it take for this boondoggle to start paying for itself?
There will be a special place in hell for the mountain destroyers.
Brad, these pictures should be used on the front page of every newspaper in Maine. People who deny the environmental damage or who mindlessly dismiss these access roads as mere logg…

CMP relying on smart meters or just dumb customers?

"Smart meters key to cutting costs of energy"
The article itself is the usual cheerleading and boosterism for industry that I have come to expect from a paper run by Rich Conner. Why the man thinks he is producing anything like news is beyond me. His refusal to cover the Kurt Adams/PUC story says it all. But that is not my point here.

Herbicides Used by Industrial Wind - a warning for all
Stopping the ecological devastation of pristine wilderness, loss of habitat and death of many of our fellow creatures, and the anguish of those impacted in the shadows of these giant monoliths must take on a new urgency.
Much has been written about the blasting, the clearcutting, transmission lines, access roads and the destructive process needed to set up the massive turbines. What I would like to focus on are the herbicides used to prohibit new growth and kill off exis… Continue

Jobs for U.S. workers?
China refines 95 percent of rare earth compounds that are used in making parts for wind turbines. That same rare earth is used in making the batteries for the Toyota Prius. China may soon put limits on the exporting of these compounds and Toyota may have to open a pit mine in California to obtain what they need.
This leads me to the question, how on earth do companies like Bath Iron Works (BIW) plan to make these turbines, plus pay union scale workers to build them and hope to compete w… Continue

Land For Maine's Future?
Don't ask me why, but I Googled Land For Maine's Future and the Maine Coast Heritage Trust - Protecting the Character of Maine for Future Generations. Almost 500,000 acres of land have been bought up by the gov'mint. Lots of money was bonded, I remember 'cause I voted for these bonds. Is any of that land in danger of being industrialized by big windies? And, if Maine is supposed to be protecting the character of Main… Continue

- I just found this - "VINALHAVEN, MAINE WIND ENERGY PROJECT CASE STUDY"
I haven't spent time looking at it and I'm not sure who the original source is, although the website it appears on is the Wildlife Conservation Society. Neverthless, it has information on birds on Vinalhaven, so maybe you will find this of interest.

- May 2008 wildlife progress report for the proposed Fox Island Electrical Cooperative,
Inc. Wind Power Project on Vinalhaven Island
Norman Famous and Dr. Richard Podolsky

Note that Podolsky's partner, Norm Famous is the husband of LURC's Marcia Spencer-Famous who essentially heads up wind power projects statewide for LURC.

- Good afternoon JoAnne!! Many thanks for your comment! If the town of Dixfield is in favor of these turbines, I and many of my friends will be surrounded by them.
The Saddleback Ridge Project is in back of us and the Colonel Holman will be in front of us on opposite sides of Rt#2. Blessings! Jan
