An Oil Story

So far, Biden has exported 145 million barrels of crude oil from the Strategic Oil Reserve. Oil bought by the American people.

  • 74% – Cost of the crude oil

New Surface Stations Report Released – It’s ‘worse than we thought’

SOME COMMENTS ON TEMPERATURES

The average temperature has gone up just over 1 C in 100 years.

Temperatures go up and down 5 to 10 C, or more, every day, so that really is not a big deal!

If you step out from the shade on a sunny…

NOAA is Cooking the Books on Climate Temp

NOAA has been caught red handed placing their surface  temperature monitoring stations in "biased" location - especially in urban settings.

NOT A PENNY FOR THIS MESS. REVOTE NOW!

Maine needs a lot of energy. Cold winters,  longer commutes to work  and short summers. 


Maine also needs to overhaul the current legislature, the enemy of energy.
With skyrocketing electric, heating oil and gasoline prices hammering household budgets, our legislature unanimously voted to approve a $1.8 billion-dollar electric transmission line and upgrades from Aroostook County to the New Hampshire border. 
Apparently, it was…

Rep. Jeffrey Roy of Franklin, the House chair of the Legislature’s Telecommunications, Utilities, and…

Maine AFL-CIO opposes the consumer-owned utility referendum

Maine Public | By Carol Bousquet

Published July 27, 2022 at 5:42 PM EDT

The Maine AFL-CIO is opposing the consumer-owned utility referendum, saying a publicly-owned utility would threaten the rights of workers and create uncertainty for consumers.

Union President Cynthia Phinney said the majority of workers at CMP and Versant do not support the proposal, which could prompt a buyout of the two investor-owned utilities and reclassify union workers as public…

Would Be Hell

   I don't know just how much Maine Legislators think they can unmercifully mock the Maine PUC, but within the PUC Request for Proposals following through on the lawmakers' assault on the Maine ratepayers combined with a bribe on a unsuspecting Aroostook County is the following statement expressed in very emphatic terms. 
"NOTE REGARDING EVALUATION OF COST: The Commission’s evaluation will focus…

Buy a copy of 2000 Mules to watch and begin lending out

It's up to you and me to get the word out that the election was stolen.

It's near impossible to watch this extraordinary film and not have 100% certainty that our government was overthrown in November 2020.

Our friends who have been hypnotized by CNN, MSNBC, Public Television, the broadcast networks and essentially, most of the mainstream media, need to see it the most.

Dig down deep and find a way to get them to watch it, maybe even with you. Americans are this…

Fools On the Hill

 A quick read of the Maine PUC's "Request for Proposals to construct a transmission line out of Aroostook County to transfer "Renewable Power Projects" " into the ISO-NE grid, I must say how stupid are our legislators who all (as in every one of them) voted to allow this boondoggle to go forward.

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.
