I was going to say that DEP now stands for Dept. (Wind) Energy Promotion, but yours is better Eric. States in the northeast are gradually renaming to "Energy and Environment" - in MA it happened about the same time as onerous Wind Acts, RPS and Global Warmings Solutions Act in 2008 for the Governor (Patrick) administration side of things, but our new Attorney General has joined the trend. Meanwhile I haven't been able to find the wind generation already installed generating more than 2.4 -2.9%…

<p>Keep in mind that there are no regulations pertaining to the rated installed capacity of a turbine. This first phase of 2,140 megawatts of wind power capacity will have at least the twice the rotor sweep per MW of earlier industry turbines. In other words this 2140 MW will have over 8 times the rotor sweep of Altamont during the 1990's.</p>

<p>If there will be a fight to prevent more wind in Maine's Western Mountains, that should quash CMP's proposed new transmission line from Pittsfield to the Coburn Gore area. But then I think the laws are in place already that would allow that ROW to push forward anyway since LePage is big on importing more power from Canada. A justification for the ROW for a different reason ? ..... We just add Wind to it after LePage and after they can further weaken Maine's once protective DEP which stood…</p>

<p>After hearing Gov. LePage state in Greenville that the only two places there will be no IWT's in Maine are Moosehead and the western mountains (?) I realize there is no hope. We have to wait until this bogus house of cards collapses and until it does, Maine will pay the ultimate price. The fact that our legislators are willing and eager to sacrifice our natural treasures, our environment, our people, our economy and our wildlife for a fistful of dollars and an amount of electricity that…</p>

We have to wait until this bogus house of cards collapses and until it does, Maine will pay the ultimate price. The fact that our legislators are willing and eager to sacrifice our natural treasures, our environment, our people, our economy and our wildlife for a fistful of dollars and an amount of electricity that will have little to no impact on CO2 emissions is a travesty. They have legislated a shameful legacy of ignorance, corruption and greed. </p> Only anguished moans of pain…tag:www.windtaskforce.org,2016-07-16:4401701:Comment:809352016-07-16T21:00:50.280ZPaula D Kelsohttps://www.windtaskforce.org/profile/PaulaDKelso
