Electric Delivery Simplified Versus the Way Seth Berry Sees It.

Berry lies about CMP being a monopoly. They are a regulated monopoly. The regulatory agency in charge of overseeing CMP and Versant is the Maine Public Utilities Commission(MPUC)   

The MPUC has great powers to make sure the investor-owned utilities are transparent about their management and operating systems. Consumer-owned utilities mostly operate in a single town or city and local control is within a single municipal governing board. The MPUC has minimal say in the conduct…

Oil Giants Warn Of Much Higher Prices For The Next 3-5 Years Amid Lack Of Supply

Exxon Mobil's CEO said that global oil markets may remain tight for another three to five years largely because of a lack of investment since the pandemic began.

Chief executive Darren Woods said it’ll take time for oil firms to “catch up” on the investments needed to ensure there’s enough supply.

Woods message was also echoed by Russell Hardy, the CEO of the world's largest independent oil merchant, Vitol; he too believes that oil prices will remain high because the market…

Farms, Parks and Weasels

With 1200 to 2000 MW planned, Number Nine Wind “Farm” will be bigger than Baxter State “Park” and far and away bigger than any “farm” in New England. Number Nine was huge when first proposed many years ago, but it has since...

...acquired the rights that First Wind had at the King Pine and Horse Mountain project proposals, which are planned for just north of Baxter. 

All of these proposed projects have been held in abeyance…

The Man Is Up to No Good.

 We now have the man that set out to destroy Central Maine Power Company and wasn't going to let the ratepayer's agony of high electricity prices stop him, preparing to bleed even more money from the ratepayers as he demands total takeover of CMP AND Versant. 

   He supported RGGI, and the expedited wind law and solar net metering and Efficiency Maine Trust and long term, above-market priced contracts with wind and solar and placing…

Are There Enough New Election Laws to STOP the STEAL of the Midterms?

The pandemic was the ultimate excuse for drop boxes and mail-in ballots that secured the steal for the super-unpopular Sleepy Joe Biden in November of 2020, especially in the swing states. One only needs to view 2000 Mules once to realize the depth and breadth of the most warped election to ever take place on US soil, and just look at the damage that’s already…

An Under Selling with a Purpose?

The wholesale (supply) price of electricity has gone so high ( + 143% above last year), that wind projects are willing to give money back in long term power purchase contracts.    

Helix Wind sells half it's output to CMP customers at $36.50 per megawatt-hour while wholesale prices averaged $107.42 per megawatt hour.    

Remember Walmart destroys it's competition by  under selling them.

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/
