Willy, Maybe Ethan Hall from Vinalhaven could come talk to the good people of Peaks Island and let them know about the noise and vibrations he has to endure from the 3 turbines near him. I don't know how to contact him but maybe someone here does. I…

Peaks Island is part of Portland and anyone living in Portland should think about complaining. Actually anyone can complain. If anyone would like to send a quick note to the "Peaks Environmental Action Team", there's a form at: http://www.greenerp…

And it's small. 20 minutes to ride your bike around the whole island. And quite dense with homes and camps. What are they thinking? I had not heard a word about this until you posted it. But why should I be surprised?

C'mon, wind turbines are good for your health. Those nice vibrations are soothing. You are the same type of people who claim cigarette smoking is bad. Lighten up and let me make my money.

Joanne, I agree that Baldacci's Next Venture, Inc. has been preying on the those who they considered less able to defend themselves, although by now they realize it's not turning out to be the cake walk he envisioned. Wow, will it be a relief to ha…

Ever notice how everyone in this wind cabal mutters the same terms such as "the Saudi Arabia of Wind"? Well Habib Dagher's "Over The Horizon" remark can be seen at the website of Deepwater Wind. http://www.dwwind.com/ For example: "Clean energy is…

Their Divide and Conquer tactic abhors the unity of the statewide organization, which took them by total surprise. They prefer when people are focused only on their local projects. They are frightened of the consolidated power we have speaking with…

Any of this going on in Maine? - Some Choice Excerpts from "Wind Energy's Ghosts"


  • European wind developers are fleeing the EU's expiring wind subsidies, shuttering factories, laying off workers, and leaving billions of Euros of sovereign debt and a continent-wide financial crisis in their wake. But their game is not over. Already they are tapping a new vein of lucre from the taxpayers and ratepayers of the United States.

Wind Power - People Talk the Talk but Don't Walk the Walk Because it Costs a Fortune

Many talk about loving "green" energy. But when it comes to paying for it, they don't necessarily walk the walk.
