Lisa Linowes: A populist revolt against wind? It’s happening!
“With each oversized, out-of-scale, in-your-face wind project presented, scores of people join the not-so-quiet ‘war on wind’ raging nationwide.....We could go on describing the intense fights now happening in New York, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, New Hampshire, Maine, Oklahoma, Ohio, Oregon, Massachusetts ... you get the picture. But don’t expect big media to notice. After all, these fights don't fit the national narrative honed by the wind industry that up-plays the image of turbines operating in concert with man and nature and downplays, or flatly denies the harms. While big media and big wind are busy forcing the vision they want, communities are taking aggressive action to limit wind's negative impacts and will ultimately lead to far fewer projects being built.

"I am Liberal for all, so long as it is Totally my way............" was once the quote.... though I do not know who to attribute it to.

Agree with Eric. The vision is indeed "Take the Money and Run". If you then ask me whether I am implying that the media is taking wind money, I would say yes, with 90% certainty. And in addition to the carrots of bribery, there are also the sticks of blackmail and threats. Remember, the moment one takes a bribe or is otherwise compromised, they can be easily blackmailed.
Beyond this, the extraordinary flushing of taxpayer dollars (American wealth) down the wind toilet is but a small subset of the much greater overall amount of taxpayer dollars being flushed away. And in my opinion, it is becoming increasingly evident that for every 1 per center leech that is benefitting financially by having their hands in the waste stream cookie jar, there is also a globalist socialist with the goal of bringing the American economy to its knees so that a strong America is no longer an obstacle to their "vision" of a one world government, where they all figure they will prosper as small, (but not that small), fish in a much bigger pond.
As the saying goes, inside of every liberal is a totalitarian just dying to get out.

Somehow I do not see those of big wind having a vision of their scheme working to help save the planet. Their vision is "Take the Money and Run" as the song goes. Now that these Trade partnerships have been up-played into free world governments and to a degree forced onto other governments, when things go awry and they will, even the last guilty person standing has a safe haven in another nation. Big Media will also filter out the guilty, those that chose to ignore this issue as a major problem. There is little if any true investigative journalism these days, with only the Glamour and Glory reporting but for the Shock and Awe reporting that promotes more of the same.

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/
