One of presidential candidate Jay Inslee’s beloved wind turbines started a wildfire

By Dori Monson

I do not know if you realize this, but Jay Inslee is going to be the next president of the United States. And one of Jay Inslee’s major themes in his green campaign is that we need more wind energy. He has repeatedly used this same line: “Donald Trump says wind turbines cause cancer, but we know they don’t cause cancer, they cause jobs.”

And as we know, there’s little that Jay Inslee loves more than blaming wildfire smoke in Washington on climate change. Remember last summer, when he said that our kids “couldn’t go swimmin’ for goodness’ sakes” because of the smoke?

Well, there is one other thing that wind turbines cause besides jobs, apparently — wildfires.

On Saturday, a wildfire started in Southeastern Washington thanks to a wind turbine. It happened when the generator of one of the wind turbines caught on fire. According to fire officials, the 242-acre fire started in Bickleton, a small community in Klickitat County south of Yakima.

So the wind turbines that Jay Inslee has been obsessed with started one of the wildfires he hates.

Gosh, Governor — you’re the one who told us about all the problems of wildfires and how we need to move away from greenhouse gases and look to cleaner energy. But now because of one of your beloved wind turbines, we can’t go swimmin’ at the ol’ fishing hole in Klickitat County for goodness’ sakes, because the air is too thick with smoke. Come on, Governor — as you yourself said, we “deserve better than a smokey future.”

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/
