This picture should be given to the Interfaith Power & Light people with a quotation that goes ....
"What God has wrought, let no man put asunder."
If God made these mountains, they are surely being put asunder .... forever.

Timber Company Admits Logging Can Cause Slope Instability (Mainetodaymedia)
According to the Associated Press, Plum Creek Timber Co., which is the largest and most geographically diverse private landowner in the USA, issued an apology for a logging operation that resulted in erosion problems on land it owns in western Maine. A spokesman for Plum Creek Timber Co. said "the company regrets the erosion caused by a hillside logging operation on its land in Kibby Township last fall. There were erosion control measures in place, but they weren't sufficient. It was an unintentional problem and we've taken steps to correct it and make sure it doesn't happen again. The company did stop the cutting as soon as it got word that there was a problem and took steps to stabilize the hillside before going back to work."

Landslide on a hillside in Kibby Township in Franklin County was caused by a logging contractor for Plum Creek Timber Co., according to the Natural Resources Council of Maine. What NRCM forgot to mention was that the logging contractor was clearcutting for a Wind Farm.
Research shows that logging on high peaks and steep grades greatly increases erosion. In North America, for example, long-term rates of mass erosion from steep clear-cut forests range from about 0.3-4.0 t/ha/yr, while corresponding rates from nearby undisturbed forests range only from 0.1-1.1 t/ha/yr.

Somewhere out there are pictures of the massive landslide they had at Kibby as a result of all the excavation. Many trout, many miles away, had to choke on that mud.

There will be a special place in hell for the mountain destroyers.
Brad, these pictures should be used on the front page of every newspaper in Maine. People who deny the environmental damage or who mindlessly dismiss these access roads as mere logging roads should be made to see reality. A picture is worth a thousand words.

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/
