EUT Public Hearing Starting NOW (2:53PM)

It looks as though they changed the order and the WORK SESSION  went first -- and quickly. It was just announced "they will start in just a few minutes waiting for Representative Dion to come over".

Basically it appears that this bill could allow a company like Iberdrola to start invading the state with wind plants, something it…

What If?

This is a post I made a few years ago.  It seems it needs to be addressed again with all the AGW decisions that have been made by some pretty dubious scientists and some very political non-scientists.

I have a few questions for the AGW alarmists that are really puzzling. 

The IPCC has based all their science on a computer model comparing average global temperatures since the turn of the last century (100 years +).…

The Freedom of Information Act is really "The Freedom From Giving Information Act" for corporations.

When one looks close and reads the fine print, the Freedom of Information act is really a Freedom From Information Act for businesses like the wind industry. This is how hundreds of thousands of raptor carcasses have been hidden by the wind industry. This terrible number includes the wind industry's addition to the 31000 plus eagle carcasses sent to the Denver Repository since 1997.  A gruesome number growing…

ENVIRONMENT MAINE - SHILLING FOR WIND AGAIN?

Environment Maine is trying to buy their way back into the good graces of the wind industry hoping they can get back on the dole again by rallying Mainers around fighting climate change. Maine is now the greenest state in America.  We are already 60 % renewable energy. Why should we continue to destroy our mountain tops so other states can meet their own renewable energy mandates?  To help Environment Maine can fill their coffers?…

Mike Bond's "Killing Maine" is a true winner. In fact it just took first prize in Fiction at the New England Book Festival. Mr. Bond's great gifts as a writer become abundantly clear very soon into this masterful book. If you have not yet read this gripping story, I urge you to do so. And please spread the word as it is yet another tool to let people know about what is being perpetrated on Maine and Mainers. (Mike Bond is Chairman of Saving Maine).

Why is Maine in Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative at All? - Bangor Daily News

The fund is financed by a carbon auction system that requires energy producers in nine Northeastern states to pay for the fossil fuels they burn to create electricity. It was established in an attempt to reduce the region’s consumption of fossil fuels and, in turn, reduce the output of climate-warming greenhouse gases.…

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/

Sign up today and lend your voice and presence to the steadily rising tide that will soon sweep the scourge of useless and wretched turbines from our beloved Maine countryside. For many of us, our little pieces of paradise have been hard won. Did the carpetbaggers think they could simply steal them from us?

We have the facts on our side. We have the truth on our side. All we need now is YOU.
