Emera and CMP are scheming to build more lines to beef up their grid for wind, which will in turn raise our rates again.  Our rates go up so citizens of NY and Connecticut can get power from our windmills.  Maine already has the highests rates in the nation for power, why not make it more!…

In the surreal world of battling wind power, lawsuits are numerous, long, costly and too often favoring the industry.  Not in this case!

In July 2014, the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) issued their first eagle take permit to EDF Renewable Energy for the Shiloh IV wind project in Solano County, CA.

In response to comments requesting a longer term in order to provide lasting certainty for developers, on Dec. 9, 2013, the FWS had  extended the maximum term to…

The PPH has written an article touting wind again.  It says 66 gigawatts of wind power has been installed nationwide, which we all know is actually only a quarter of that amount or 17 gigawatts.  They say 66 gigs is about 5% of the total US consumption, but at 25% it is minuscule.  They also say that the average cost of wind is now 2.35 cents per kilowatt hour, but is only like that because of the generous subsidies.  This might be a reply alert.…

Colorado is the big benefactor in the extention of the PTC by Congress.  Vestas has built three plants there to make parts for wind turbines.  It is totally built on the backs of taxpayers, as they wwere almost out of business when the PTC expired last year.  Since its 1 year reinstatement, business is booming.…

The last I have really heard about Saving Maine was that they were going all out in their effort to publicly blacken the reputation of Friends of Maine's Mountains. Since then has Saving Maine been doing anything positive? Any news on their effort to collect signatures and repeal the wind act? I went to their web site and it looks just as dormant as when I visited many months ago. I can't find any recent mentions of them in the press. Does anybody know if they're doing any tangible work in…

Following the First Wind model, SunEdison is losing money hand over fist while taking on astronomical debt. Apparebntly they hope to make up for their unprofitability with volume. This paid off for FW because Paul Gaynor found the proverbial 'Greater Fool' in SunEdison. But will SunEdison ever find a greater fool to bail them out?  It's not likely.…

Sun Edison, who has been on a spending spree buying up smaller wind and solar companies, finds itself in trouble.  $11 BILLION in debt.  Lets hope the subsidies die and we can help them fail even further.  It's about time these greedy subsidy sucking companies get theirs.…

Article spells out all the reasons we already know to be true.  Very well written and up to date article that any of us can use to make comments on future articles.  Read below…

Joe Bastardi is a meteorologist writing about the topic of climate change.  You might find this interesting and scientifically relevant to the cause.

While Barack Obama is focused on his "legacy" green energy initiative which Hilary Clinton has pledged to continue, Angus is focused on a national grid to spread intermittent wind power across the country, while now also pandering to voters who have lost interest in wind - And now are focused on solar.  If only we could harness all the not air and gas coming out of DC!!…

This type of study probably never preceded Wind Power in Maine. 

A recently released study commissioned by the Maine Public Utility Commission dropped a bombshell on the electricity world earlier this year, valuing distributed solar at $0.33 per kWh, far above the state’s prevailing price. Maine’s traditional, centrally generated grid electricity is…

Most News reports state that our Turbine Towers are produced in China. Is this is where most of the CO² is being created in the production of our Not so Green wind turbines ? 

This may not be representative of where Wind turbine components are produced in China, but shows the lax air quality standards. Though we have our own problems. Given yesterday's news announcement, China is currently building Coal fired power plants at a record rate. Coal has the intense power on demand…

I hope this is not just a little stumbling block put out there.  I hope this means someone is finally looking at the real economics of the Green Energy Movement.  There is a good reason Maine is dead last in solar development, it is because during the 8 months a year we really need power, we have little or no sunlight.  It does not take a rocket scientist to figure that out.…

This article is from ISO NE about how we should beware of the boost in Canadian Power.  They cite the fact that transmission lines would have to be run to bring it down from the North.  I think I would rather have continuous, cheap, reliable power run over new transmission lines than towering spinning blades and flashing lights.  ISO NE is completely in the bag for wind.  And our prices will be going up, driving any hope for new business and jobs.  Wind kills jobs, not makes…

Now we are being deluged with articles touting the positive green power of Canadian Rivers.  For over a century we powered our mills and homes with Hydro Power, the cleanest and most economical power there is.  There is little or no initial investment, at least not like the kind for solar or wind, and it is extremely reliable, unlike wind and solar.  There is also no fuel investment.  Modern dams can be built to allow the migration of fish to spawning grounds, yet we are tearing them out of…

.....Wind turbines are put up solely for the Production Tax Credit given to the multinational organizations who end up owning them. Those who make a minuscule percentage of the profit are the few farmers who have the wind towers on their land, the real profits go to those corporations. Wind turbines have nothing to do with wind, green energy or more cost efficient electricity. It is big government…
