How To Fleece the Maine Citizenry.....Avangrid!

http://www.avangrid.com/investorrelations/default.html

We all know that generation and transmission of utility electron generation(for example)  were separated decades ago so that Mainer's at least had some competition involved  to help control their electrical costs. Many considered this an  appropriate move by Maine state government and its PUC, which was supposed to protect the ratepayer and to   work for the citizens of the state (Not the Corporate Citizen).

Then came the  unfettered Crony Captialism and the…

History is the best indicator of the future...

A while back, I asked an investigative journalist to describe how he began his investigations.  He answered that he asked himself two questions. 

Questions:

"What's here that shouldn't be here?" 

And, "What's not here that should be here?"

Answer:

This morning I received an e-mail about the wind opposition in Germany from the Australian blog STOP THESE THINGS.

The people of Germany are getting so fed up with not being heard on their complaints about the wind industry that they've founded a new political party. The name  "Free Horizons".  That is a great name, no?

A link to the post is here and I've pasted in the article below.…

A huge wind project in Nevada on the shores of Lake Mead has been shot down by a Federal Court for all the right reasons.  This is another instance of the takeover of land by the BLM and EPA that is going on in the West meant to fuel millions of dollars to the greedy few that live off huge government subsidies and build obscene projects to failed science.  Harry Reid is in on the plot just like all the Baldacci minions were.  Lots of facts here and I am going to try and get this published in…

Woodcock was reacting to the release Monday of the names of 51 separate projects throughout the region from 23 different development groups that responded to a joint request from Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island.........One plan from SunEdison is a massive, 600-megawatt wind farm called King Pine. Another involves two projects from EDP Renewables, Number Nine Wind Farm and Horse Mountain, that together would add up to 650 megawatts.........“This will turn Maine into a wind…

In December 2015, ex-Governor John Baldacci, architect of the wind power virus in Maine, became Vice Chairman of Avangrid, Iberdrola's wind power division. Not a single word on this has been reported by the media.

Aside from the $1.4 billion ratepayer funded MPRP transmission buildout handed to Iberdrola by Governor Baldacci and his henchmen, there was also the extremely high priced smart meter program which Iberdrola got to build. Both of these were put in place for the…

UPC First Wind Paul Gaynor on 7/09/14 writes in his Boston Globe op-ed: 

(a clip)-

Thankfully in Massachusetts, we have been fortunate to have executive and legislative leadership that recognizes the need for energy policy that expands the use of clean energy and energy efficiency while saving ratepayers money. To date, those policies have been highly successful, expanding clean energy use while driving down prices.

Our leadership has an…

EUT Committee work sessions are been held today at 1:30 PM.  LD 1339 An Act To Provide Relief to Maine Ratepayers. and LD 1398 An Act To Reduce Electric Rates For Maine Businesses to be held today.

What results is an inequitable shift in grid costs to non-solar customers, who are, on an aggregated basis, less affluent than those they are being asked to subsidize.…

    There are lessons for all of us in the story of the Aral Sea. A number of parallels between impacts of the careless, deliberate destruction of the Aral Sea and the rolling-over-us nature of Big Wind (and Big PV Solar) are instructive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aral_Sea
