As my relatives sat around in a circle having one of those idle conversations at the pond on the 4th, we remarked how the pond hadn't changed much since we used to row around it and float on our tubes for hours on end in the '50's. The mob of kids and grandkids were happily going about with fishing poles, nets and kayaks. How sad that some families this summer have to deal with the desecration of their spot in Maine. They can no longer sit by the shore as darkness comes on and listen to the quiet sounds of nature undisturbed by flashing lights and thumping blades. Look up at the stars and feel at one with generations before them who sat where they are sitting and felt the peace of the gentle waves washing ashore and the close bond with the living natural world. And fortified themselves for returning to the challenges of the unnatural world we humans have fashioned for ourselves. As a state, in the '70's we resolved to protect our shoreland as the treasure it is. How quickly it was decided for us by a few greedy politicians to throw it all away. And they never even asked for our participation or approval of the decision.

That's the scary part, Paula.  These companies won't stop until the last of the subsidies dries up, and they're out there right now, sneaking around and looking for financially desperate or easily bribed victims to perpetuate their scam and pad their bank accounts.

And coming soon to Pisgah Mountain and Springy Pond in our little gullible town of Clifton. Thanks to corporate disdain for the rights of the individual, federal largesse with taxpayers money, state shenanigans and ignorance and local greed and stupidity. They haven't found our little family get-away pond in another town yet, but no one should count on anything.

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.
