<p>The mainstream "environmental" group "elitists", many whom have never been north of Bangor, are paid very significant amounts of money to push wind and solar, which includes fighting competitors such as low cost big hydro, Maine commoners be damned. They are also given huge grants and the strings attached to those grants call for advocating for a "clean energy future" and the fight against non-existent manmade global warming.

<p>The mainstream "environmental" group "elitists", many whom have never been north of Bangor, are paid very significant amounts of money to push wind and solar, which includes fighting competitors such as low cost big hydro, Maine commoners be damned. They are also given huge grants and the strings attached to those grants call for advocating for a "clean energy future" and the fight against non-existent manmade global warming. The groups funding their global warming efforts use climate change as a principle around which to organize globally enforced mandates and eventually global government. Gases don't know international borders, so it's an ingenious device to attack national sovereignty and borders. "Take America's standard of living down a few notches" is the mantra.

This proposal has a lot of people up in arms, where the wind industry has been able to ride rough shod over our mountains with the encouragement of many who oppose the transmission corridor. Why is that? The arguments are basically the same with the exception of the sources of renewable energy. Wind is weak and intermittent and hydro is powerful…</p>
<p>Be interesting to know if the Maine Office of Tourism touches on the CMP/Quebec transmission corridor and its impact on the western Maine region. This proposal has a lot of people up in arms, where the wind industry has been able to ride rough shod over our mountains with the encouragement of many who oppose the transmission corridor. Why is that? The arguments are basically the same with the exception of the sources of renewable energy. Wind is weak and intermittent and hydro is powerful and 24/7. Both are all about serving southern New England's renewable energy mandates.</p>
