Speaking of Podolsky, please see the following article on Vinalhaven wind by Thomas Urquhart which states "Podolsky found no bats, and Alcorn and Webster’s old quarry offers little foraging habitat for songbirds." http://www.downeast.com/magazine/2

Maine’s Wind Goals, CO2 and the Forest

Please click on the file below entitled "Maine’s Wind Goals, CO2 and the Forest." The document is intended to put the Governor's wind goals into perspective.






NRCM has published figures on CO2 emissions avoided by various Maine wind farms. Then, to try and argue that the clearcuts and clearing needed for these complexes, their roads and transmission lines s

Congressman Eric Massa Went Up Against Some Very Powerful People

With all the news on Congressman Eric Massa's resignation, I started googling and came across the letter below.



Massa has said on the news in the last 24 hours that some powerful forces in Washington, D.C. set him up and pushed him out.



From our vantage point, we know that he was a true thorn in the side of First Wind. First Wind is essentially half owned by hedge fund D.E. Shaw which paid National Economic Director Larry Summers $5.2 million for

Wind Turbine Syndrome meets Hollywood

Wind Turbine Syndrome meets Hollywood


“[Movie] sound engineers deliberately include loud noises well below the lowest frequencies that can be detected by our hearing system (20 Hertz) because, although we cannot hear such sounds directly, our body actually feels them. Studios apparently insist that theaters playing big-bang films be equipped with Dolby-type sub-woofers that can generate frequencies well below 20 Hz.

Thanks for the link to the report. Geeze, these guys say just what industry pays them to say. Wow! The Name Norm Famous reminds me of one of the Lounge Lizards wannabe types. Very interesting to know he is the husband of Marcia Spenser-Famous. I had a sneaking suspicion he was. The name is unusual, if not famous. Heh. Another conflict of interest, ya think?

Investigative reporting.... We need to whip this beast a little better.

Interesting to read Tux Turkel's piece this morning. While his focus was narrowly on noise, and only at Vinalhaven, it surely helped puncture the huge bubble just a bit. More noteworthy than what he wrote was what he did not write.

How he could interview Hanna Pingree and NOT ask her why she withdrew her turbine noise bill is either abject stupidity or laziness. Legislators regularly rush to the statehouse with a new bill whenever a constituent says "there oughtta be a law..."

Could it be that he didn't ask the Speaker of the House (who can get anything she wants to a public hearing) why she doesn't think this is worthy of a bill, or why she isn't raising holy hell over getting a hearing???

It would be one thing if her district was Old Orchard Beach, but these are HER constituents who are under the bus!! Investigative reporting??? Please. One doesn't need to be a political veteran to know that the ties that bind among the Pingrees, Baldaccis, Adamses, and the wind mafia are very tight indeed. Turn a blind eye to a monumental calamity in your state, district, and town why? To repay political favors? Now that's a story that'll sell papers.

Turkel needs to pursue this angle. He also needs to expose the tragic economic realities of this trojan horse that has been wheeled into Maine.

The transmission lines are not only congested , they are full. Alternative power plants are being kicked off to make room for wind energy. http://bit.ly.3XMRV1 proves the grid was full before Stetson Mt wind farm was even built. Windaction.org had an article up stating Brookfield and Indeck were to close in order for Stetson MT wind farm to go on the grid. Indeck was forced to sell because Iso New England did not pay agreed upon price. Fort Fairfield was forced to sell because Iso New England could buy cheaper from Canada. I am glad that Rep. Erric Massa and Attorney General Blumenthal from Conn. are looking into political favoritism to certain corporations.
