I recently received solicitation from Smart Energy Inc. for a six month trial using so-called renewable energy for my electricity supply. In exchange for my gullibility, ignorance and naivete, I would receive a $200 dollar visa gift card. Still being able to do sixth grade math from the great education I received at B. E Moore school in Ellsworth some 64 years ago I dug. out sixth months of CMP bills.

In one oil-producing nation, gas sells for the equivalent of $2.35 per gallon. In another, gas sells for almost twice that — $4.532 per gallon.
The first is Saudi Arabia. The second is the United States.

As we saw last week, when we’re thinking about and discussing the environmental impact of energy, we can’t assume the impact is only negative. We have to look at whether it plays a role in improving our environment. And it does.
Many of the positive impacts we have on our environment that enable human beings to flourish depend on using a lot of energy.
How energy improves our environment
For example, take the issue…

This past summer, Donald Trump stated that the way to shore up America’s elections would be to switch to paper-only ballots and in-person voting. Democrats seized on that comment as proof that Trump was still spreading the “Big Lie” about the 2020 election. But wait a…

Why aren't any of our so-called people's politicians demanding the repeal of all state and federal laws that subsidize wind, solar and battery storage?
The month of May's average ISO-NE wholesale energy price paid to all generators in New England was a whopping $74.79 per megawatt hour, that is in addition to the capacity payments arranged by ISO-NE.
This is more than any so-called…

How about taking a look at Germany before throwing one more cent of good money after bad? Any candidate for office enabling this march of lemmings to the cliff needs to be questioned. It's not like we haven't been warned of the coming costs. Lessons abound.

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/
