What is the overall value of forest removed for wind farms...This is one study done for London's urban forest.

This is one example calculated from scientific studies, using i-TREE software:

"The results of London’s i-Tree Eco project are now available in a comprehensive report which details the significant benefits that trees provide one of the world’s great cities. The study highlights the essential role that green infrastructure plays in providing ecosystem services and making London a vibrant place to live, visit and work. Recognizing the many contributions of…

If They Can Do Away With Wind In The Desert, Why Can’t We Do It Here In Maine?

If They Can Do Away With Wind In The Desert, Why Can’t We Do It Here In Maine?

The Federal Courts just shot down a huge development of 87 wind turbines in the desert of Nevada because the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) had inconsistencies in their reporting of endangered species and impact to the environment the project would do.  I have been to the area around Lake Mead where this project was to have been built, and it is basically a wasteland compared…

Web Tune-In Right Now - Our "Representatives" Desperately Trying to give $$$ Billions to Iberdrola and Emera at Our Expense

Ex-Governor Shameless John Baldacci, now Vice Chairman of Iberdrola's wind division has certain handmaidens in the EUT working overtime to find a way to deliver a totally unjustifiable and immoral special interest bill to Iberdrola -- against all logic and all that's right.

Tune in here; click "Start", keep you speakers on; when they take a break there is dead air.…

STILL TIME TO ACT! LD 1513 Work Session carried over to tomorrow Wednesday 3/9/16

EUT Committee Co-Chairman Representative Mark Dion's bill to allow generators to be owned by affiliates of T&D utilities was given a sound thrashing at today's work session.   Witnesses representing utilities, consumer groups, generators, and the conservation of Maine's landscape all emphasized that there could be no "Code of Conduct" written that would prevent Iberdrola from profiting from its ownership of both CMP as the transmission company and Avangrid as the generation company in…

EUT Tune-in Alert Right Now from Bernie Trump Cruz

Tune in NOW. This is what Steve Thurston wrote about the other day. It is CRITICAL. It is the establishment, donor class, billionaires, thieving Wall Street crowd corrupting our system, destroying our state, running over Mainers like shantytown denizens in the 3rd world and shaping the law to line their piggish pockets.

Signed,

Bernie Trump Cruz…

WGAN RADIO ALERT TODAY

WGAN RADIO ALERT TODAY

Tory Ryden is guest hosting "Inside Maine" today. She announced that she will be talking at noon for an entire segment about "alternative energy" and how we can expand it at a time when "we have a governor who doesn't believe in alternative energy."

(Believe…is it a religion? ...Alternative…to what?)

Chances are she will have a guest who is in the wind lobby.

Tune in to 560 AM or you can listen live online (about a minute delay).…

Once a beacon of truth, independent brodcasting giant KCET is now filtering and censoring wind industry articles

Once a beacon of truth, KCET is now censoring wind industry articles and comments. Just try to find this story below or to navigate through comments made to articles about the wind industry and their destruction to wildlife . Especially disturbing is the lack of access readers have to the dozens and dozens of comments I have made to articles exposing the wind industry's fraudulent research and hidden impacts.                     …

CALL TO ACTION - Work Session on Amended LD 1513 to continue next Tuesday, March 8

The work session on LD 1513 introduced a completely re-written bill which has not yet been published on the EUT website.  Co-Chairman Dion, one of the sponsors, defended his role in allowing only proponents of the bill to work with the EUT's policy analyst to draft the "amended" bill.  The EUT will allow opposition to this bill to be heard at its next work session on Tuesday.  Please email the Committee members if you cannot attend the work session in person.

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.
