One step closer to his envisioned Arctic Highway !

On trip to Greenland,
Sen. King
finds effect of climate change

amazing and scary

He returns from a three-day fact-finding trip
with plan to call for more
U.S. icebreakers to clear Arctic trade routes.
From Oil Investment,
to Wind,
to Hidden Arctic Highways...
Will his Kingdom of Destructive ways stop changing ?    >ET/span>

The United States has only one working heavy icebreaker capable of clearing shipping lanes through Arctic waters as the ice sheet there melts, while Russia has at least a dozen, King said. Icebreaking abilities are essential in a warming world, he said.

Perhaps it would be cheaper to use planes to drop coal dust onto the ice blocking the prospective trade routes in the arctic to melt it faster?  That's what the government was planning to do back in the 70's when the ice age scare developed.  Ain't politics strange?

I wonder if his Lure as a Maine Senator will be "Maine Jobs" or if Maine is really on his mind?

"The Friends of Piscataquis Valley" was following his movement toward creating what was termed the "Arctic Highway" and the meetings he has attended to that extent, with his support. A highway which at one time was to begin from Portland Maine, if his vision was realized. I am not sure where they are with documentation.

Are you serious? Really? Follow the money and the trail of pig poop.

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/
