Climate Change, Whatever That Is, Is Socialism at Work.

When it comes to gambling, it depends on where the money comes from. If someone wants to gamble with the income they have earned, it is their choice and may the luck be with them. If, on the other hand, you are a Somalian cashing in snap benefits to buy lottery tickets, that is taxpayer money they are playing with.
 
But if the…

The Climate Activists' Attack on Pensions. Maine Youth for Climate Justice

While Maine passed landmark legislation in 2021 (LD 99) mandating fossil fuel divestment for its pension fund (MainePERS) and other state funds, activists argue the process is too slow and incomplete, with MainePERS still holding substantial fossil fuel investments despite the law's 2026 deadline approaching, leading to ongoing pressure and criticism. The pension fund cites fiduciary duty and market conditions, while advocates push for full compliance by the…

One More Time Why Government Can't be Trusted

Sneaking an energy bill into passage requires ingenuity. Sometimes it means delivering it during an abnormally timed committee session. Such is LD 1730, originally a "Concept Bill" which means a bill with no specifics, so no one knows what it is. LD 1730 escapes ambiguity at an opportune moment as the standard offer for electricity is now over 2 cents per kilowatt hour more. …

As federal home efficiency tax breaks expire, Maine moves ahead with its own incentives

Thankfully the tooth fairy pays for all of this.

Maine Public | By Peter McGuire

Published December 30, 2025 at 4:30 PM EST

EXCERPTS

Now Brown and other vendors are working hard to explain to confused consumers that even though the tax break is gone, there's still state money available to help with projects.

The Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit provided a $1,200 income tax benefit for certain upgrades, and that helped to defray…

Maine Asst Minority Leader: No More Money to NGO's Defrauding Us

Is that too much to ask?

Scroll to about the 12 minute mark and hear what Assistant Minority Leader Katrina Smith has to say.  The whole video is worth watching. We should not let this disappear into the memory hole. Heads should roll and cell doors slammed shut. 

Maybe the most important words in the video are "tip of the iceberg." What other NGO's…

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT

******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********

(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 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/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?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/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.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/
