Eric Tuttle: Some Ideas come to mind and can be made legal but for the Criminal Elements from within and those that surround us

Please see the recent comments from Eric Tuttle and Robert Powers.  Robert Powers believes that 25-30 other major wind projects in the planning stages in Maine and I do not doubt this.

BDN - These Maine projects aim to cash in on Bay State hunger for clean energy

Bay State hunger for clean energy? TOTAL MISREPRESENTATION. Rather the "hunger" is simply a Massachusetts state government mandate engineered by politicians and regulators while the average Mass ratepayer, lied to by the Massachusetts media, is oblivious. Anybody think any of those politicians are ON THE TAKE?

Every municipality in these areas in Maine needs a protective wind ordinance -- which is one reason the locations are often not divulged. This coming coordinated and highly sophisticated attack on Maine by Massachusetts and foreign corporations requires an immediate and integrated defense involving all Maine parties concerned with protecting TOURISM, the natural beauty and environment in our state and Mainers. This is a direct assault on our way of life.

Some companies openly disclose their project locations. Others disclose only the county and leave clues as to the specific parcel where they’d land.

That 40% is not correct...no more power is lost than any other source of energy.  The bigger the transmission line, the more efficient.  Transmission power loss is not significant and is already taken into account in all energy projects.  There are variables but transmission line engineers know how to account for it.

Get rid of tax credits and other incentives...and improve production of other sources of energy...

Piggy backing.  They'll be filing permits along the proposed transmission routes.  How much power is lost in transmission?  I've read 40%.  Is that figure correct?

My point, Gracias, Merci, Thanks!

...and once the major transmission lines are in, the branch lines will be added, making even smaller projects more cost effective...

Transmission is key, once you have investors in place...(and they have many) who profit from tax credits, etc...

The cost of developing projects is decreasing, per MW, as the wind tech improves and states like MA are willing to pay a premium for the "green power"...produced in any other state but theirs...

Above ground transmission is, for now, "least expensive"...but the technology also exists for some underground and below ocean cable transmission projects, as project scale and power sales increase...

Beware and forewarned...these are quietly being evaluated.

@ Robert Powers, if you track the 145 mile transmission line project shown on the recently published map, it will come in close proximity of many of Maine's Mountain tops or ridge lines. Including I believe some past that may have been denied under expedited, but now possibly included in general siting. Something that became obvious to me when looking at Google Earth, but had no proof, yet still suspect. More to come in the way of Wind and Solar fraud as well to the NE and SE sections of Maine. We have always been, though not as obvious probably, a Resource Plantation State, with lower wages, providing lower cost materials to our Name Sake, New England.

and I can tell you there are between 25-30 other major wind projects in the planning stages in Maine, that are not on this list.  Also there are several other alternative power transmission alternatives in the initial planning stages...very ambitious...some are join venture with Canada...just waiting for major power sales contracts to the south and the tax credits to be assured that will seal the investors' interests...

Plugged in some of those companies on the list . . . very interesting. Not ONE of them is a Maine Company. All the workers would come from out of state, from as far away as Texas and Arizona. I didn't go through all the solar ones, but as far as wind goes:

Bryant Mountain

Blue Falcon - Greenbush, ME

County Line Between Aroostook and Penobscot Counties

Downeast Wind - Columbia in Washington Cty

Long Mountain - Greenwood ME

NECEC Wind - Western and Central Maine

Nine Kings - Texas company Document fully redacted but there was a file for a LePage Letter.

Almost all these were really redacted as to outputs and locations. Had to pour over them to find what little info there was. 

This is going to make Maine the industrial center for Massachusetts, raising our rates and spoiling our land. I'm writing the White House again and Pruitt and LePage. We have to put an end to the madness.

Though there are Proponents of wind and Solar within the Coalition of Stop The Corridor, I am trying to bring this into focus for them that these projects are attempting to create an East West Corridor by another means, Transmission Lines, since we essentially shut down the Highway ability portion. Slowly they are opening their eyes.

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.
