Maine Democrats and High Electric Bills

The net carbon zero debate in the EUT Committee continues to interrupt the advancement of the golden energy age of Maine because of a majority of Democrats.
 
Democrats on the Committee have convinced themselves that wind, solar and battery storage will provide Maine with low cost, emission free electricity, while Republicans have decided a common sense, realistic approach that produces  low cost, reliable electricity…

Craig McKee

May 29, 2025

In addition to the ongoing efforts of former congressman Curt Weldon to get a presidential commission to reinvestigate 9/11, we now have Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson, who is openly calling for this “seminal” event to be re-examined.

Johnson appeared this week on The Tucker Carlson Show. The two-hour interview, posted on Carlson’s YouTube channel yesterday, focused on 9/11 for about 15 minutes (this section starts at about one…

Some Specifics to IRA Energy Cuts in "The One Big Beautiful Bill"

On May 22, 2025, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a highly anticipated piece of legislation - commonly referred to as “The One, Big, Beautiful Bill” (the “Bill”) - by a mostly party-line vote of 215-214-1 (two Republicans and all Democrats voted against it and one Republican voted present) that would make significant changes to the tax law if enacted. The Bill makes substantial cutbacks…

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.

Hannah Pingree on the Maine expedited wind law
