Moosehead Lake Region - Poll Question - BDN


Moosehead Lake Region
offering new trails,
outdoor adventures and
challenges


The community in the Moosehead Lake Region is banding together to showcase the area’s many natural resources and make outdoor recreation more accessible to visitors. A number of collaborative projects are underway, bringing together area businesses, organizations and state agencies in an effort to improve area signage, mapping, trails and other outdoor resources for the public.

“I see an arrow pointing in the positive direction for the whole region in terms of people both locally and from away getting excited about the natural resources and understanding how much there really is to explore there,” said Rex Turner, outdoor recreation planner for the Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands.

I grew up visiting Moosehead Region and try to get up there as much as I can. I skied Squaw Mt. and the view from the top is one of the best in the eastern USA. I wish some philanthropist like Stephen King would provide the money to the Friends of Squaw Mt. to get the chairlift to the top operational again.
One thing that will stop me from ever visiting Moosehead again would be the intrusion of industrial wind turbines. The arrogance of the thieves that work the wind power scam to even think of putting these ugly, useless machines on the ridges above Moosehead is unfathomable. God bless the Moosehead Region Futures Committee with their vision of this incredible region without wind turbines.

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/
