Cape Cod Wind Farm Abandoned
Cape Cod Wind Farm Abandoned
The project was a "massive private development that would have ruined the national treasure that is Nantucket Sound," said Alliance to Protect Nantucket Sound President Audra Parker in a statement. She added the group will "make certain that never again is a private developer given the rights to land that belongs to all of us."

Watch out. They'll be targeting the poorest regions of rural Maine and northern New England to take up the slack. Southern New England wants the "green" energy but doesn't want these industrial monsters in their own back yard or even in sight of their shoreline. Can't blame them, but it's going to make things much worse for Maine.

At some time you will figure out that no matter how much wind energy you can produce, how many wind turbines you can build, how many solar panels you can put on roofs, you will still need 85% of your electric energy produced from reliable, steady baseload generators like gas, coal, hydro, nuclear or biomass. Germany has found that out, just as they have in Southern Australia. Wind and solar simply can NOT be counted on in times of high demand as sometimes the wind don't blow and the sun don't shine. Germany has found that their system works best when they use a maximum of 18% renewables. All the talk of storage is completely outrageous and expensive. It is also extremely dangerous. Anyone remember the little problem Samsung had with its Note 8? Lithium batteries are very volatile and explosive.
Jim Gordon was not a visionary, he was merely a charlatan who saw a way to take huge amounts of government subsidies (Our Taxes) pocket a good part of it and use the rest to drain our bank accounts with lawsuits fighting him off. The biggest polluter of CO2 is not electricity generation, it is transportation and I have yet to see a viable solar or wind driven vehicle.
So please, let's look at this as a victory and if the subsidies dry up, there will be no more wind turbines and solar farms. That is what T. Boone Pickens and Warren Buffet, two very large energy investors have said; "If there are no subsidies (free public (tax) money) wind and solar are a BAD investment."

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/

Sign up today and lend your voice and presence to the steadily rising tide that will soon sweep the scourge of useless and wretched turbines from our beloved Maine countryside. For many of us, our little pieces of paradise have been hard won. Did the carpetbaggers think they could simply steal them from us?
We have the facts on our side. We have the truth on our side. All we need now is YOU.
