Here is Troy Jackson talking to Seth Berry about the Aroostook County Wind And Transmission Project
Rememeber, all wind projects in Maine are privately owned and power from these projects are sold by power purchase agreements to utilities, companies like Google or sold as a merchant plant into the ISO-NE administered wholesale market. These power purchase agreements are contracts…

The Maine Department of Energy Resources is seeking regulators' approval for a major buildout of energy storage on the state's electric grid.
The department filed a petition with the Maine Public Utilities Commission this week to start competitive bidding to develop up to 360 megawatts of large-scale batteries.
Acting energy commissioner Celina Cunningham said that batteries can store…

ISO-NE reports reveal that the declarations by Maine Government and certain environmental groups that higher electric prices are a result of higher natural gas prices are not necessarily true.
Of course, winter natural gas prices go up due to inadequate pipeline capacity and competition from natural gas heatng.…

Not that Fox News can be trusted on everything..........................
These are the masters of ever so softening us over the years with a variety of slippery slopes aimed at preparing our minds for more. "Boiling the Frog 101". Now that they feel they have us off balance, divided and demoralized, they are stepping up their efforts. Rest assured, not everybody pushing the green scam is solely in it for the money. Some want to see it simply to weaken America. Quash it…

To the Maine PUC: Could you please explain why you arranged contracts with CMP and Versant to purchase power that raised electric bills by $65,996,299.00 from 2018 to 2025?
Under Maine law, utility companies cannot disconnect residential customers between Nov. 15 and April 15 to protect people from losing heat during the coldest months. Outside that period, however, customers who fall behind on payments can lose…

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/
