Two of the earliest  industrial wind  projects in Maine , to this day, produce a fraction of their potential fickle intermittent trickle of electrons!, WHY? Do your representatives care? (or are they part of the problem?)

What wind  turbines do produce at full capacity is Renewable Energy Credits for the pseudo  market created by  your government via  the likes of DE Shaw   and other elite derivative investors on Wall Street. Those like Alfond,Angus King, Sussman,Kurt…

After years of dealing with the wind issue, I can say with sadness that Maine is a very dirty little state, politically.

It is a shame how unctuous political elites have manipulated the legislative process as it concerns the wind scam. 

Governor LePage should immediately place a halt to all…

Reliability of the power grid? How about it was perfectly reliable until your spurting scamming taxpayer fleecing ratepayer harming wind factories came along? Hopefully the two new PUC commissioners we'll soon be seeing will start investigating all of this.

Gerry Chasse, president and CEO of Emera Maine, said the project and others it is assessing with CMP would help increase the reliability of the region’s power grid.…

Gov. Deval Patrick, a strong supporter of the project, told reporters Wednesday he didn’t know if the project could survive.
