REDUCING THE ENERGY USE OF HOUSES

The US faces two major simultaneous challenges: 

 

- Reduce the impact of rising prices of energy and other natural resources on US global competitiveness. In 1973 the US was using about 60% more energy per dollar of GDP than other industrialized nations. After 36 years that percentage remains unchanged. The US needs to rapidly reduce that percentage by greatly improving the energy efficiency of buildings, transportation and industries. 

 

- Stop the increase of…

Should You Trust Climate Science” Maybe the Eclipse Is a Clue”

In the New York Times print edition of yesterday, August 20, 2017. Justin Gillis’s article. “Should You Trust Climate Science” Maybe the Eclipse Is a Clue” remarkably equates the certain science of solar movement with climate models.

In China, the true cost of Britain's clean, green wind power experiment: Pollution on a disastrous scale

This article is from 2011, but clearly it has not been touted very much by the "Renewable Energy Sector", and probably has not changed very much since it was written. China is not big on its own environmental issues though they are making a big push for developing "renewables". This is for one purpose and one purpose only. MONEY. No one else in this world has expendable population they can control and lie to and get away with polluting the environment like they do. It is unconscionable that…

Dudley Gray: Will Maine ever smarten up and stop the abomination of wind?

The continuing destruction of Maine's pristine ridges and mountaintops for the benefit of politicians and foreign corporations must end. There is no need for Maine to be a conduit for the delivery of electricity to Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. Let them build their wind turbines in the Berkshires and leave Maine alone........................

Fraud alert.............The Interior Department and the Green Gestapo are moving forward with the development of wind energy on the Great Lakes

Fraud alert.............The Interior Department and the Green Gestapo are moving forward with the development of wind energy on the Great Lakes. This planned development is only taking place because of fraud and rigging.

Incredibly while this industry is busy selling their green lies to the public, enough  cheap energy in the form of coal, natural gas and fossil fuels is being exported annually that could provide Americans with the kilowatt energy equal wind…

More than 100 people ask if Mass energy policy will destroy Moosehead Lake region

ROCKWOOD STRIP — More than 100 people packed the Rockwood Community Center Wednesday afternoon to help answer the question raised by a group opposed to proposed wind farms — will Massachusetts energy policy destroy the Moosehead Lake region.

The answer for many was loud and clear: “Save our mountains — No Wind Farms.”…

GMP AND VERMONT 90% RENEWABLE ENERGY PLAN BY 2050

Vermont has set a voluntary goal to have 90% RE of all primary energy by 2050, not just electrical energy, which is only 35% of all primary energy, as described in the Comprehensive Energy Plan, CEP, of 2016.

 

Vermont’s goal of attaining 90% of its energy from renewables by 2050 would require capital investments of at least $33.3 billion during the 2017-2050 period, or about $1 billion per year, according to Vermont Energy Action Network’s …

Massachusetts orders utilities to buy at least 16% of their electricity from "clean" energy sources in 2018

As seen in the article excerpts below, this latest state coercion from Mass was pushed by Conservation Law Foundation, CLF. Let's not forget that CLF's affiliate is CLF Ventures which develops wind-related investment funds/strategies, for example:…

PPH - New CMP bills foreshadow increased consumer involvement

When the supply can't be depended upon as it can with a source like natural gas, an alternate way to match up supply and demand is to control the demand. Enter the smart meter.

"A smart grid would allow the integration of variable energy sources like wind and solar. For example, if electricity output dropped suddenly due to a change in wind generation, the grid could dim the lights in big box stores…

NATURAL GAS IS GOOD FOR US AND NEW ENGLAND ECONOMY

US natural gas production has been steadily increasing from about 20,256 billion cubic feet in 2008 (consumption 23,277 bcf, less imports 3,021 bcf) to about 23,986 bcf in 2012 (consumption 25,502 bcf, less imports 1,516 bcf). In 2012, production was about 40% from shale, and the rest from tight gas, and other sources. The shale share is projected to grow to 43% and 60% by 2015 and 2035, respectively.

 

Natural gas is good for the US economy because it:

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/
