The associastes are in "see no evil, hear nno evil, speak no evil" mode. Or, following Alfed E Neumann "What? Me worry?"
Joanne Moore commented on Ron Huber's blog post 'Nantucket Shoal wind sprawl plan approval- at least it's not in the Gulf of Maine.'
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.

Joanne Moore commented on Joanne Moore's blog post 'CMP relying on smart meters or just dumb customers?'
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.
Joanne Moore commented on Long Islander's video
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…

In the Maine Sunday Telegram, Sun., April 25, 2010 -"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.

Joanne Moore commented on Long Islander's blog post 'MPBN and First Wind'
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…

I hope he gets as passionate about stamping number plates while trying not to drop the soap in the showers.
Long Islander commented on Joanne Moore's blog post 'Herbicides Used by Industrial Wind - a warning for all'
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…
Cynthia Hardy Wadsworth commented on Joanne Moore's blog post 'Herbicides Used by Industrial Wind - a warning for all'
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.…

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… 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… 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… 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.

- 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

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.

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT (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 http://pinetreewatchdog.org/2010/08/09/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?" http://pinetreewatchdog.org/2010/08/11/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.” http://pinetreewatchdog.org/2010/08/12/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/
