How about a pipeline to bring Marcellus deposits to Mainers' wallets?

The lack of adequate natural gas pipeline capacity, totally politically caused, is costing Mainers a lot of money and jeopardizing energy security.

The tiny red line on the map below traces the distance from the Marcellus deposits to Maine.

The line drawn on the map is actually larger than the actual distance, simply so that it can be readily seen on the map below. That we have shortages here in Maine, that close to one of the world's largest natural gas deposits is…

Engineering Alert to ISO-NE. Stop the Long Term Transmission Project attached to Aroostook County Wind. A better Idea has Arrived

The combination of a proposed transmission line from Pittsfield Maine to Boston and 1200 megawatts of wind plants and associated generator tie line to Pittsfield would cost nearly $4 billion dollars.

On the other hand, consider what an upgrade to natural gas transmission pipeline to add 300 million cubic feet of natural gas to New England from Pennsylvania shale gas and how that would compare to electricity output from wind turbines.

It takes…

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.
