Tariff the solar and wind developments in Maine

No doubt, President Trump is going to heavily tariff solar panels coming from foreign trading partners and remove federal tax incentives and direct subsidies to solar and wind projects, but Maine could also jump upon the bandwagon and tariff existing and future solar and wind developments and stop the excessive burden on ratepayers.
As everyone knows, Maine is…

Guvnah, We don't Want Your EV Charging Stations and Stuff Your EV Mandate in Your Bag Law Too!

By David Shepardson

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday took aim at electric vehicles, revoking a 2021 executive order signed by his predecessor Joe Biden that sought to ensure half of all new vehicles sold in the United States by 2030 were electric.

Biden's 50% target, which was not legally…

How To Keep Quiet, Maine People Suffering from Public Policy Electricity Costs

The word spreading around the Maine State House is " How are we to shut up the people hurting the most from high electric bills?"

Enter the Low Income Assistance Program ( LIAP ). Ratepayer and taxpayers were hit for $24 million dollars in 2024 to service this "buyout of silence" which includes over 47,000 fellow Mainers struggling with electric bills.
Now, some of the people of the Maine State House want all Mainers with reported income below 150%…

The Coming Termination of Natural Gas for Maine

Can you imagine a program that will put an end to natural gas use in Maine? There are public servants in Augusta( to be left unnamed) who are creeping towards doing just that with the backing of certain unnamed environmental groups. Of course, companies in the natural gas business present a problem, customers are also a problem, but, the whispers of stranded costs are being muttered among the activists. Stranded…

EVs in Mainers' Future? Not so Fast Leroy! There is a New Sheriff in Town, and He Believes in Choice, NOT MANDATES

Read This Guvnah!

Automakers have been backtracking on their EV goals over the past year as consumer interest failed to keep up with the vision automakers had. That vision appears to have been born from the idea that if the federal government mandated people drive electric cars, then people would buy them. 

Not only did …

If this isn't collusion, what is?

Does this bill seem like it is a make work to maintain the survival of the GEO?  ISO-NE operates the transmission system and is paid to engineer applicable infrastructure needed. Maine has plenty of electricity delivery infrastructure and any additional transmission in Maine would probably only benefit States south of us. The GEO must be abolished, and this bill should be amended to state that.

Resolve, to Direct the Governor's Energy Office to Conduct a…

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/
