THE FUTURE OF WINDPOWER IN MAINE DISCUSSED TODAY AT THE EUT COMMITTEE AND SOON TO BE VOTED !!!!
PLEASE IF YOU CAN AT I PM LISTEN TO THE EUT COMMITTEE WORK SESSION. LEGISLATORS WILL DISCUSS LD 616, 1147, 1323, 1434 - ALL BILLS DEALING WITH RESTORATION OF THE RIGHT OF SELF DETERMINATION IN THE UNORGANIZED TERRITORIES AS WELL AS A PROPOSAL FOR EXTENSION OF WIND SITING DISTANCE FROM THE APPALACHIAN TRAIL FOR SCENIC CONSIDERATION , THE PRESERVATION OF MAINE SCENIC CHARACTER AND NOISE PROTECTION .
THE HEARINGS ON THOSE BILLS OCCURED LAST MONDAY AND IT WAS UTTERLY PATHETIC TO LISTEN TO THE WIND INDUSTRY AND TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS WILLFULLY REJECT THE RESTORATION OF THE RIGHT TO SELF- DETERMINATION TO THE CITIZENS LIVING IN THE UNORGANIZED TERRITORIES, OR TO WIDENING OF A PROTECTIVE CORRIDOR FROM TURBINES FOR THE APPALACHIAN TRAIL.
AGAIN NO SCIENTIFIC ARGUMENTS WERE MADE AND THE SAME "WIND TO SAVE OIL' OR 'LOSS OF SELF DETERMINATION IN EXCHANGE OF CLIMATE CHANGE SOLUTION" WERE BROUGHT UP ! .
IF YOU WANT TO HEAR HOW OUR LEGISLATORS WILL ULTIMATELY COME TO THEIR DECISION, I URGE YOU TO LISTEN, YOU WILL REALIZE IF THE PROTECTION OF MAINE CITIZEN'S RIGHTS OR THE PROTECTION OF MAINE'S WILDERNESS LANDSCAPES IS SWEPT UNDER THE RUG FOR A FAVORED INDUSTRY BENT ON LITTERING MAINE WITH THOUSANDS OF TURBINES - SUPPORTED LARGELY BY YOUR TAX DOLLARS.

Thank you Monique for 1) taking the time to go to the hearing 2) enduring the stress of listening to Big Winders and their paid off admirers. I know it wasn't easy.

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/

We have the facts on our side. We have the truth on our side. All we need now is YOU.
