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

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

“[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.

For some reason, this article does not allow comments. In any event, I think this was a mistake on the part of Weld's voters, but when there is not a wind proposal on the table, it's my sense that moratoriums are harder to get.

The economics of transmission in New England(Posted March 2, 2010)
With little fanfare last week, the ISO-New England[1] released its latest report, New England 2030 Power System Study: Report to the New England Governors, summarizing the economic and environmental impacts of developing significant amounts of renewable sources within the region including substantial inland and offshore wind resources.
According to the report, the New England States Committee on Electricity (NESCOE)

Google Earth has collected "street view" imagery for a high percentage of America and Europe's rural areas and most of that work has been done very recently so street view can be used to explore many existing wind farms.
Below are some screen shots of a 250 turbine wind farm near Zeewolde, Netherlands. The wind farm is old enough that GE imagery shows the turbine pads. To explore the wind farm go to Layers in Google Earth and turn on "street view". Then go to Gallery and turn o
