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:

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…

Campaign to persuade Maine Attorney General Mills to introduce a Code of Conduct for Wind

I have just begun a campaign to persuade Attorney General Janet Mills to introduce a Code of Conduct governing the relationships between elected officials & wind company officials.



I am going to write up a Petition and put it up on the petition site. Does anybody want to help me write the Petition? I have been looking at NY State's code but wonder whether Maine's will need to include a class of Politicians that the NY code doesn't focus on. The NY code talks about Municipal… Continue

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/

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