IF YOU WANT MAINE FISHERMEN TO KEEP FISHING, AND WINDJAMMERS TO KEEP SAILING, tell your legislators to vote NO on LD 1810 An Act to Implement the Recomendations of the Governor's Ocean Energy Task Force . Or at least hold over to next year, so fish…
Like Maine, here in Michigan, there is a big push for wind farms on land and on the Lakes. My view is the folks with inland problems need to increase the number of NIMBYs to the largest number possible as fast as possible. The offshore issue is an e…
Yes to your legislator. Also write/call to Speaker of the House Hannah Pingree hannah@pingree.com, Senator Dennis Damon , and Representative Leila Percy leilapercy@yahoo.com co-chairs of the Marine Resources Committee.
Email to Kristen Gottlieb the…
Would like to help on the scene. Not possible logistically. Who do I write? Tom Saviello is the rep for my town. He has shown some concern for inland wind projects but I don't know about ocean. Shall we all write/call to our own state reps?
Good points Art. I'd rather derail the bill on Thursday than go through the nightmares that people afflicted by windmills on land are going through. Going to take a bit of finesse and crudity simultaneously. Anybody wanna be on TV? Its time to picke…
They are calling the bill an emergency, which means it needs 2/3 approval in the Senate and House. It is very much an amendment to the bill they zipped through two years ago in 15 days...the one that "expedited" most of the land in Maine. Now they'r…
Maine's seafloors and bayfloors are under jurisdiction of Department of Conservation's Submerged Lands Program and Submerged Lands law This law is what they hope to change with the new bill LD 1810
I knew a number of the non-fisherman folks there in the audience at the meeting: They had this dumbfounded "help!" look in their eyes: a marine science writer, a Seagrant Coop Extension longtimer, grassroots fisheries activists and fisher-activists,…
Gee, they make it sound so FUN! And NEAT! I couldn't listen to the whole thing, to be honest. Makes me sick to hear people who are supposed to be working for us, delivering such bad tidings with a laugh and a smile and a "we're all in this together."
Very useful though terrible information. The poor Italian birds... 'Fans without cages' That about captures it.
Spring is coming. Time to pick the picketing places in public venues. Let's figure out how we prevent the thieving environmental degraders behind big wind from making Earth Day Mirth Day at the expense of the people and wildlife of Maine.
Again, it's not always what they say, it's what they DON'T say. Where are the concerns about navigation? The US Coast Guard's final report to Cape Wind was full of concerns about how an array of turbines interferes with navigational radar, and that…
Hi Joanne.
I'm not so sure picketing in front of someone's house would have the desired effect. This is only my opinion, but I believe we need to look at each person individually. What are their motivations behind their actions and words? We can't…
Do not listen to your thoughts...Aieeeee! Resistance is futile.
That's right. A reporter made it sound like Maine Lobstermen's Association has pretty much endorsed this bill LD 1810 - without even reading it - It just got released into the legislature & came out at that very meeting. Patrice McCarron the MLA lea…

Nearshore wind wannabes at Maine Fishermen's Forum face grimly silent lobstermen, scallopers, shrimpers
At the Maine Fishermen's Forum in Rockport Maine on Saturday March 6, 2010,a group of industry reps, academics and ENGOs rolled out a new bill LD 1810 that would open up all of Maine's fishing grounds to windfarms. A skeptical crowd of fishermen listened silently, grimly, as the speakers made their pitches for leasing off Maine's state waters to… Continue

Offshore wind is stretching a technology that is outdated. Consequently, not only will it create higher electric costs due to higher technology and installation costs, it is akin to building the more expensive edsel.

Joanne Moore said… - Ron, have you contacted Monhegan Associates, Inc. to see what they think of this offshore wind project? My parents used to be members when they were alive and it seems to me this organization, founded by Ted Edison to preserve and protect the quality of life for the island would be very much against anything that would endanger that. Just a thought.
