As dawn approaches, New England gets 4% of its electricity from burning oil.

                               

As more solar and wind projects impact electricity generation and natural gas production decreases, oil becomes a must have backups for all other resources.

Proposed Bill Preventing Foreign Nationals from Hostile Nations from Owning Land in Maine Narrowly Fails

By Seamus OthotJanuary 12, 2024

At Tuesday’s meeting of Maine’s legislative council, Rep. Katrina Smith (R-Palermo) proposed a bill that would stop hostile foreign governments, and citizens of hostile nations from purchasing or developing agricultural land, mines, quarries, or timberland in Maine.

“As is proven by current ownership of real property by Chinese nationals,” said Rep Smith, “We already have foreign countries wreaking havoc in our state, and we must put…

Senate President Jackson, You Made a Fool of Yourself

Senate President Jackson stood before the EUT committee unable to answer important questions about the Northern Maine Renewable Energy Development Program. He is the sponsor of the bill that elevated this development beyond the normal agency review process that expects proposed projects must prove their viability by financial acquisitions through the private markets to construct the project and recoup their investments by sales of delivered electricity. His bill sidesteps…

Maine Wind and Solar Projects = Advantage, Massachusetts

In 2014, when Maine had 894-megawatt nameplate capacity wind development of the state's current 1013 megawatt nameplate capacity wind development operating, 57% had power purchase agreements with Massachusetts' utilities.

Maine NEB and Tariff Rate solar development sells 64% of their RECs to Massachusetts' utilities.

The charts following discloses the origin of RECs purchased to comply with Maine's Class 1, Class 1A and Class 2 renewable portfolio…

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.
