The "Green Scam"

ISO-NE made a big deal when they instituted a rule that has wind and solar projects bidding into the day ahead market. This is all fine as long as they perform according to their load offer(s). Because they can also offer bids in the five minute market( real time market), one would think they would be conservative with their day ahead bids so as not to be caught unable to supply their bid offer.

Climate activists will tell you that wind and solar put downward pressure on day ahead…

Gov. Mills plans new Maine energy department

Maine Public | By Peter McGuire

Published January 8, 2025 at 4:55 PM EST

A proposal in Mills' two-year budget would recast the current Governor’s Energy Office into a cabinet-level Maine Department of Energy Resources. The change would be budget-neutral, according to the governor.

"By transitioning the energy office to a…

The Facts About EVs....."EV Mandates vs Freedom"

A very good lecture at Hillsdale College concerning the reality of an "EV future" as proposed in Maine and a dozen or so other states, and of course by " Globalists" . You can't defy physics of course, but you can play politics until the economics and science catch up, and then , you are broke.This is well worth the one hour of your time if you are so inclined.

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.
