EXCERPTS

Steve Tatko squatted next to the cut end of a red spruce trunk lying in a stack with other felled trees. Eight inches in diameter, its bark was a deep red-brown. Its center held tiny rings of varying widths, pale yellow alternating with a rich sienna. Tatko pointed to some narrow rings only a half inch from the center.

“It’s possible this tree was seventy-five years old when these were formed,” he said. “And see…

What are the merits of renewables?

The Spanish blackout made us all aware of how unstable the grid can get when renewables are in the driver’s seat, but one should also not forget that they don’t come cheaply. The idea of getting free energy from wind and solar is inaccurate.  Man must build machines to extract energy…

Nukes, Renewables, and the European Grid Collapse

May 1, 2025



By Joseph Somsel

Big sections of the European electric grid had a blackout recently. First reports blamed a frequency dip due to a lack of “spinning reserve.” When frequency gets too low, automatic electrical breakers open, isolating sections of loads and the transmission grid. The power plants can only safely operate within a narrow frequency range (pumps spin too slowly, etc), and they too will isolate and trip to protect themselves from damage.

The…

Regulators approve Efficiency Maine’s growth plan, but federal policies cloud future

May 1, 2025

By Laurie Schreiber

EXCERPTS

The Maine Public Utilities Commission approved Efficiency Maine's three-year plan to continue programs to improve the efficiency of energy use and reduce greenhouse gases.

But some programs could see hits from changes in federal funding or policies.

“The chief impact of federal action that is already happening is the delay in our expansion of our loan program for energy upgrades to homes and…

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/
