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.

I live on a mountainside so sometimes no cell, sometimes no power. you know. anytime after 8 am til 9 pm
as before, if you can come to Dixfield March 10 for a Public Hearing with DEP on Saddleback wind project.\; we will feed you and pay for your gas (If it is an F-150 you drive we will scrape more money up. ) Just kidding'
I know you know what we are fighting. We need alternatives to the grid. Mainers are essentially independent . We need engineers as you and Jim Labreque to keep experimenting and inventing.
Come see the show.
Alexander, welcome to the Citizens Task Force on Wind Power, an organization that was born in November 2009 out of desperation when we realized what was about to happen to Maine if Governor Baldacci, and a misguided DEP, LURC and MCDC had their way .
We have analyzed every angle on wind power, the medical, economic, technological, environmental and political. We have knocked on the doors of every state agency, only to be met with arrogance, rejection, mockery and obfuscation - pretty much what you described in your oped.
But times are changing and we are gaining momentum and we need all the brains and common sense we can get. That is why we are proud to welcome you to our organization. Please invite your friends to join us.
Call me or Steve Thurston if you have any question about the organization. We hope you will consider testifying at legislative committee hearings this spring as legislation we have sponsored is considered. 864 5423
Monique Aniel, Co-chair CTFWP
