Damaged Road in Piscataquis County Leaves Residents Frustrated
"Bingham Wind Project"
Unexpected Damages, Abbot - Parkman
Unseasonably warm temperatures have been the trend this season. And while that may be good news to some people, residents in Parkman and Abbot are concerned about destroyed muddy roads because of it.
Trucks have been hauling excavators along a road the past couple weeks for a windmill project. Their construction site is along Crow Hill Rd. in Parkman and Gales Rd. in Abbot.
It’s one road that connects the two towns, but the name changes after crossing the town line. It’s the company’s only way in. ......

I do not remember any part of the conversation between these communities and then First Wind, about remediation funds above and beyond the Temptation Funding promised, once production of electricity began. The now probable elusive Temptation Funds. Will these communities be required to fund these repairs of local roads, built and funded by the taxpayers utilizing unrealized monies of promise by borrowing into the future on local bonds while they await that temptation money, that was to be used to reduce their tax burdens? Bonds that may end up increasing the tax burden should this Scam of "Hiding the Owner" while they elude responsibilities of providing those promised funds.

Telling . . . . “There has to be better collaboration and working relationships between these out-of-state companies, out-of-state interest, and the local communities, the citizens that are living there,” said Tracy." All those promises that there would be local jobs is a bunch of C***. Outsiders come in to clear the land, build the towers and transmission lines, haul the materials, and then leave Maine, high and muddied. I tried to go up the road with a pretty heavy duty 4WD truck at the Rollins Project and had to turn back. The roads were a complete washout and all that runoff had to have gone into the streams, lakes and rivers at the bottom of the ridge. (Where my lake and camp are)
Nothing but lies and false promises.

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/
