"Assume, at some future date, wind and solar installed capacity is sufficient to provide average daily demand each day of the year. But, if a wind/solar lull occurs, batteries are needed to make up the wind/solar shortfall Say, at a future date, NE…"

Offshore Wind No Bargain

1. Electric Power Purchase Agreement Contracts Failed.In 2016 Massachusetts passed the Act to Promote Energy Diversity, allowing for the procurement of up to 1,600 megawatts of offshore wind energy by 2027. The legislation was supposed to provide cost savings to electric ratepayers. In the last nine months, the state has been allowing offshore wind contractors to back…See More

Offshore Wind A Black Swan Event

Offshore wind is fundamentally broken.A black swan event is a rare and unpredictable event with an extremely shifting impact on the wider world. In this case, the model of offshore wind and the political agenda to reach clean energy goals by 2030 is failing. .Massachusetts had a black swan event in 2020. The state had an agenda of 2000 megawatts of land-based wind…See More

Offshore Wind Turbine Agenda Continues To Fail - Whales Dying

Doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result .In 1979 a single 2-megawatt wind turbine was installed in Boone, North Carolina. By 1981 neighbors had complained about noise now defined as infra-sound and the gearbox drive train failed. The project failed..In 2010 and 2012 Falmouth, Massachusetts installed several similar size 1.5-megawatt…See More

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.

“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”
