Cars, trucks, boats, planes add most emissions in Maine

We've been publishing hard data on this for many years. Where has everyone else been?

Wind promoter NRCM talks about transportation but for 10 years has made land based wind its priority - a generation source that does not and cannot do anything about emissions coming from transportation. If we were ever to move to all electric cars and trucks that would be powered with carbon-free electricity, we'd need nuclear. NRCM opposes nuclear just…

Document Details the Eye-Popping Amount Attorneys Stand To Make from Climate Crusades

Guess who is making money on climate change?

What do you call an honest Lawyer??   An oxymoron.

This ought to make everyone absolutely sick. This whole scam has been about making the elites more elite and wealthy and hurting those of us who who have to get by on fixed incomes. If oil companies are made to pay for these lawsuits, they will only raise prices. They have to…

MAINE NEARLY DOUBLES UP ON RENEWABLE GOALS !

                           Source : EIA 

In 2017, about three-quarters of Maine's net electricity generation came from renewable sources, with almost one-third from hydroelectric dams, one-fourth from biomass generators using mainly wood waste products, and one-fifth from wind turbines. In addition, almost one-fifth of net generation came from natural gas.

Green New Deal Is Bad Deal for All Americans

For close to a decade, the Left has looked at a “Green New Deal” as the only solution to supposed manmade climate change. According to the eco-Left, the Green New Deal -- a massive federal government stimulus program coupled with a rapid and total transformation from fossil fuels to renewable energy -- is the only way to avert environmental doom.

Just last month, shortly after winning election to the U.S. House of Representatives, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said, “We have 10…

WINDMILLS KILL BIRDS AND WARM THE EARTH - New Science

We have all known that the huge influx of wind turbines being added across the nation are unsightly, but now they are deemed HARMFUL to the environment and are adding to the warming of the Earth by disrupting the wind patterns at the ground level.

This is really interesting and they also cite bird kills as a minus for wind.

Construction of major electricity line from Quebec to New York City to start in 2020

The developers of a long-delayed project to deliver hydroelectric power from Quebec to New York City say that construction will start in 2020.

First unveiled in 2008, the Champlain Hudson Power Express (CHPE) is a proposed 536-kilometre underground high-voltage line to supply customers in New York City with hydroelectricity generated in Quebec dams by provincial utility provider Hydro-Québec...............................

The project is projected to deliver 1,000 megawatts of…

Region’s electricity market in trouble

Dan Dolan, the president of the New England Power Generators Association, says the wholesale electricity market is facing an existential crisis, failing to meet the needs of the six New England states and the region’s electricity generators, whom he represents. “The direction we’re moving in with out-of-market contracts for renewable energy and special contracts for reliability is putting the risk right back on ratepayers...................

New England states began offering subsidies…

Southern Maine electricity customers can expect $6 monthly increase come Jan. 1

Another contributor is the growing role of renewable generators on the grid, said Marc Brown, a spokesman for the New England Ratepayers Association. Brown said state policies that favor intermittent resources such as wind and solar have created more risk for the companies that bid into supply contracts, especially for home and small-business customers. It’s important for New England to continue building power plants that can be dispatched when needed, he said, especially in the…

PPH: Our View: Hydro-Quebec answers key climate question

The company is wasting enough energy to fill a contract with Massachusetts.

With this line, the company would be able to sell as much carbon-free power into New England as could be produced by two nuclear power plants.

U.N. estimates that a carbon tax of $240 per gallon is needed

If Paris streets burned over a proposed 25 cents per gallon climate change tax, imagine the global conflagration over a $49 per gallon tax.

That’s what a United Nations special climate report calls for in 12 years, with a carbon tax of $5,500 per ton—equal to $49 per gallon of gasoline…

Hydro-Quebec says it has plenty of capacity for New England

A Call-Out To The NRCM and The Democratic Wing Of The Maine Legislature

   To all those people, like the Natural Resources Council of Maine and the Democratic Wing of the Maine Legislature, who want all of New England's electricity to be derived from renewables, aka, wind and solar replacing fossil fuels, how could you not confront the ISO-NE people who have decided to retain natural gas resources seeking retirement, specifically, Mystic Units 8 and 9, natural gas plants fueled by LNG . A special cost-of- service agreement will be implemented to keep these…

Guest on Tucker Carlson: Planes should run on renewable energy

The guest, political activist Nokimi Konst, doesn't like Tucker Carlson's question as to why climate change sermonizers scold the common man's carbon footprint yet themselves live in giant mansions, drive huge vehicles and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars a month on their own private jet travel.

After Tucker pushes on this, asking…

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/
