This is a full assault that would forever change Maine. The wind law must be changed and local ordinances must be passed if Maine is not going to be totally raped on our watch.

If You Don't Mind Being Raped and Robbed Mainers - Just Ignore This

If you think it's OK for Iberdrola, ex-Gov Baldacci's new employer and the second largest wind company in the U.S., to be able to get the law changed so it can start building wind projects throughout Maine to feast on U.S. taxpayer dollars while holding up ratepayers, then pay no attention to this week's EUT meetings. No need to heed what the EUT does if you are OK with the planned explosion of wind projects throughout the entire state.

Several bills are scheduled for work…

Southern New England Looking To Get Their Power By Spoiling Maine!

While we here in Maine do NOT need new power, the shutdowns of Vermont Yankee and Pilgrim Station are causing Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island to scramble for Clean Energy but at our expense.  It's time to Just Say NO!  We will not become the industrial wasteland for those south of us who don't want the turbines in their backyard.  WE DON'T WANT THEM EITHER!!! …

The project is being proposed by Central Maine Power and Emera Maine


Maine has significant renewable resources that can help the New England states reduce greenhouse gas emissions. By utilizing existing rights-of-way and transmission infrastructure wherever possible, MREI is a cost-effective solution that will deliver 1,200 megawatts (MW) of clean energy to the region, enough to power…

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/
