Delingpole: Man-Made Climate Catastrophe Is a Myth, More Studies Confirm

I appreciate the tone of this piece, wind is a scam. And I think Al Gore is a clown in a jet. While I respect aesthetic objections to wind and solar, the discussion goes too far because wind is a scam.

It's factually anemic for the author to infer Ted Kennedy's objection to Cape Wind was based on adverse impacts soley aesthetic. Ted was an advocate of the fising industry and federally recognized Tribes' whose Tribal Cultural Property TCP would have been degraded by Cape Wind. The Senator also expressed concern about Wind Management, LLC that merged with EMI to form Cape Wind Associates, LLC that was never vetted through a competive bidding process. At least Ted Kennedy identied concerns about developers unknown that happened to be Brian Caffyn founder of UPC First Wind. AKA Caffyn founder of Wind Management, LLC, who merged with Jim Gordon.

SENATOR EDWARD M. KENNEDY SENATE FLOOR STATEMENT ON THE CAPE WIND PROJECT
May 9, 2006

“…The issue before us today is whether EMI is entitled to evade this comprehensive process by staking its claim to one specific site and pushing for approval before Interior can assess which of our outer continental shelf lands are appropriate for development.

We send exactly the right message to other developers if we pass Section 414, because it tells them that Congress won't give sweetheart deals to particular developers. Second, we are being told that EMI has already passed a careful review process.

That too is flatly untrue. EMI originally applied to the Army Corps for a construction permit under the limited authority of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899. At the time of the application, the Army Corps had no authority to lease outer continental shelf lands for energy development and no siting policy in place for such proposals…”

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/
