FOLLOW THE GREEN BRICK ROAD TO THE WIZARD BEHIND THE CURTAIN
Jumping off from Gov. Mills reference to her 20 buddy governors on their hunt for a green new deal:
Climate change is ‘hammering’ our state, Janet Mills says
A new report released by Environment America outlines ways that U.S. governors can immediately address climate change and protect the environment. Here is Gov. Janet Mills' response.
Climate change is a priority issue. Our Office of Policy Innovation and the Future is preparing a climate agenda which I will announce in the coming weeks.

100% Renewable Energy
We should be able to power our lives without polluting our environment. We have the ability to produce and consume energy and still enjoy healthy communities — and give our children and their children a livable future. That’s why we’re calling on cities, universities, businesses, and our state governments to commit to 100% renewable energy.
According to their 2015 filing of IRS 990 ;
Environment America's largest contractor expenditure was to the Center for Public Interest Research at $327,604.
According to its website, the Center for Public Interest Research:
About Us
The Center for Public Interest Research conducts research, organizing, community service, and public education around critical public interest issues. It also assists partner 501(c)(3) organizations and projects by hosting joint projects and programs, sponsoring new public interest projects, and providing training and technical support in areas such as civic engagement, citizen and student organizing, program development and packaging, internet and social media organizing, grantseeking, membership development, financial management, and legal assistance.
In other words neither of these two entities are concerned with science, just with training activists to carry out their goals. And Governor MIlls refers to a "new report' issued by Environment America as though it was a scientific basis for her grand plan to further ruin our State for our own good. Can someone follow back from the Center for Public Interest Research and connect more of the dots?

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.
