Maine, We Have a Problem

   Maine, is it time to abandon the sinking ship that is ISO-NE? Wholesale electric prices are soaring to $2+ a kilowatt hour as the temperatures hit the teens. It will get a heck of a lot colder than that before Winter gives way to Spring. Oil is being burned at a million gallons + per day to keep New England on the knife's edge of rolling blackouts.

    Yes, Maine's energy policies are as much to blame for current grid conditions as policies driven by other New…

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM ISO NEW ENGLAND

Excerpt from a recap of  state-by-state power struggles due to extreme cold from ZeroHedge:

Update (1720ET): 

ISO New England warned it has "insufficient reserve supplies" and asked members to "voluntarily curtail power" amid grid strain. 

According to Bloomberg, the grid operator declared an energy emergency level 1 and requested utilities to reduce electricity consumption. 

"We have declared a power caution for the…

EVs and Coal

I’ve been wondering ……….

Could the push for EV mandates be fomented by the coal companies?

Don’t laugh yet.

Hear me out.

As I’ve discussed in the past, the concept of Global Warming was a creation of the Nuclear Power Industry. It was an effort, started in the 1970s, to jumpstart stalled nuclear plant construction.

Today, coal use for power generation has reached a 30-year low. Is the Coal Industry, similarly, attempting to create an environment…

UK Electricity for the Years 2021/2022

The following chart of UK generation, interconnector flows, demand and day ahead prices, for the past year. It displays daily averages for the various items. Do click on the chart to see an enlarged version.

The early part of the year is dominated by a regime of good wind output, supplemented by significant net imports from the Continent and some coal burn.

The start of the Ukraine war sees prices spike upwards in March followed by a collapse of wind as the…

A REBUTTAL TO A STUDY OF WIND

THIS IS THE KIND OF BS THAT IS SENT TO THE PUC AND AUGUSTA LAWMAKERS TO INFLUENCE THEM INTO CONDONING THE RAPE OF THE RATEPAYERS BY ALLOWING INEFFICIENT WIND TO CORRUPT THE GRID!!

SEE BS STUDY FOLLOWING MY REBUTTAL 

     TO BE DISPATCHED INTO THE NEW ENGLAND GRID, A GENERATOR, NO MATTER THE RESOURCE PRODUCING IT, MUST OFFER IT"S OUTPUT (OR IN THE CASE OF WIND, THE ESTIMATED OUTPUT) AT A PRICE BELOW OTHER GENERATOR…

Will The Maine PUC Be Logistically Consistent or Politically Biased?

 The Maine PUC recently rejected a proposal for one-time payment of $75 to low-income people with electricity bills and emphasized that it would shift costs to other ratepayers. 

    The Maine PUC is surely aware that the Aroostook Wind Project will inflict costs on all ratepayers of all incomes. Will the argument that was used to reject one proposal remain consistent…

SEN. COLLINS DOES MCCONNELL'S BIDDING AGAIN

The always bipartisan Sen Collins has once again joined with Mitch McConnell his cadre of Uniparty RINOs to stick it to the  American taxpayer and further bury their children and grandchildren to a life of serfdom. The 2023 Omnibus budget bill is all but secure, now that 22 Republicans signed on to hand Shumer, Pelosi and Biden a massive win in a lame duck session - a move that will go down in history.

Anyway, here's good piece on the whole mess. …

Has American Democracy Been A Hallucination For Nearly 60 Years?

Monday, Dec 19, 2022 - 11:40 PM

Authored by Roger L. Simon via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

Call it a democracy, call it a democratic republic, call it a constitutional republic, call it anything you want - it doesn’t really matter what America is if there is truth to what Tucker Carlson was reporting the other night via a source who had “direct knowledge” of still-hidden documents concerning the Kennedy assassination, implicating the CIA.

If indeed the CIA was in…

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/
