Where would I find topo maps showing wind farm clear cuts for pads and esp. transmission lines.

If I had a map of the amount of forest removed for turbine pads, access roads, and transmission lines I can calculate the impact on the atmosphere, esp. loss of CO2 conversion, and on the watershed and aquifer.

This would be a focused environmental impact statement prohibited under current siting legislation; and if my early calculations are right, that the CO2 no longer removed by photosynthesis is greater than the carbon offsets. iHYDRO software and possibly the Canadian software,…

Oppressing Dylan Vorhee's environmental hypocrisy and untruths

Tapping into the proposed energy corridor is, as I understand it, a negotiable item---which I strongly support.

Dylan raises other issues, several based on nonfactual assumptions:

"Dylan:

 NRCM has long supported wind farms in Maine, all of…

Negative Impact of Wind Farm deforestation on reducing CO2 and increasing pollution.

The Impact of Wind Farm Deforestation on Air Quality and CO2 removal

April 30th, 2013



Introduction



The premise upon which the ‘fast track’ permitting and subsidizing Wind farms was based was the role they played in replacing electricity generated from CO2 emitting power plants with renewable energy from ‘clean’…

Germany- Wind and Solar Energy Drive Electric Prices up 40% in 5 years!

SaveOurSeaShore Editor Note: This shows the cost  of wanton renewables investment both monetarily and CO2 wise. From the Wall Street Journal March 2, 2013 "Germany Debates Fracking as Energy Costs Rise", exposes the results of Germany's rush for misguided solar and wind renewable investments and its abandonment of low Carbon Nuclear Power and the resulting scramble for reliable and affordable low carbon non-renewable energy! After massive renewables investment...CO2 output went up…

Europe's Green Energy Suicide

If it's cheap and plentiful—even low in carbon-dioxide emissions—much of the continent wants no part of it.

Data basing Environmental impact of wind farm 'footprint'...site, access roads, transmission line ROW

As some of you know, I've raised the issue before the PUC and DEP of considering the environmental impact on CO2 and air pollution reduction from clear cutting forests and other bio-mass from these sites using iTREE software.

The iTREE program was specifically designed by the US Forest Service and several other organizations like the DAVEY FOUNDATION to 'measure' the tree and other bio-mass cover, on a tree-by-tree basis and then it's impact on converting CO2 into sequestered…

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.
