100% RE aficionados, almost all of them never even designed, analyzed and operated any energy system, claim wind and solar, and hydro + bio + waste, and energy storage, and demand management, and energy efficiency, and heat pumps and the batteries of electric vehicles will provide electricity, at a minimum of 99.97% reliability, 24/7/365.

They likely do not know it takes only 40% of all US primary energy to generate electricity. That leaves 60% which would be much more…

206 votes for the protective ordinance and 41 against meaning 83% of the vote went against wind. Congratulations Greenwood.

Funny how the wind industry's rigged polls tell us just the opposite. Folks, these ordinance votes are the real polls. When put to a real vote, over 90% of protective wind ordinances pass. What is it about "Mainers don't want wind power" do the politicians, paid off environmental groups and completely biased media not…

This was just received late Monday evening via Face Book Messenger from anti-wind activist Norman Milliard of Greenwood regarding the vote to adopt a restrictive wind ordinance for the Western Mountains Region town.  Calpine was planning a massive project on 3 mountain peaks to the south of Mt. Abram Ski Resort.

"Vote tally: 206 YES. 41 NO. Very loud celebration after the tally was announced. We await their next move."

Facts matter — all of the facts. We were astonished to read the editorial published in the Bethel Citizen on Aug. 2 in favor of wind development in Greenwood. It’s fine that they are in favor of wind development — everyone is entitled to their own opinion — however, the idea that the group opposed to wind development is…

Essentially, the study found that biofuel…

I look forward to seeing the film. I wonder whether the film maker is aware of the various wind projects right to the east of Katahdin, Baxter State Park and the Katahdin Woods & Waters national monument that have been on the wind developers' drawing boards for years. Are the proponents of the national monument cognizant of the fact that the monument's host communities for which they lobbied (Sherman, Stacyville, Patten, Mount Chase, etc.) are in the wind developers' target sights?…

This, from the "environmental group" that granted "Eagle Status" to giant donor First Wind, the number one wind developer in the state and likely public enemy number one to, err, eagles.

“As we continue to see suburban sprawl reaching into historically dark areas, we should expect to see lower productivity and higher mortality in many of our native species,” said Doug Hitchcox, staff naturalist at…

Does anyone remember how the Spaniards were put in our face during a time of the buildup of wind energy? How OUR energy company, Iberdrola, a Spanish Company, was making huge developments in wind was our future? And how MISERABLY Iberdrola failed in Spain?

Well thank goodness we don't have anything to do with the EU anymore, or the Paris Accord or fake energy news. Spain is trying to open new coal plants and trying…

The scientists in Europe are finally starting to get a leg up.  They are challenging the non-scientific bureaucrats who have been promoting wind and solar and are finally getting the truth out. Germany has realized it, France has resisted it and has the cleanest of all energy in Europe with their nuclear and hydro power, but energy is getting so expensive . . . . and they have no coal left or oil or gas.  They have had to depend on imported gas from Russia at a…

After more than a year of research and debate, Greenwood voters Monday will decide the fate of proposed amendments to the commercial wind farm section of town ordinance.

The meeting will start at 6:30 p.m. at the American Legion Hall on Gore Road, next to the Town Office.

The Calpine Corporation has been studying the viability of a 13-turbine ‘Long Mountain Wind Farm’ project in the area of Long, Tibbetts and Elwell mountains, near Twitchell Pond. Prompted by the potential…

As Governor LePage's technical adviser and energy expert, Jim LaBrecque, confirmed on July 27 as a guest on WVOM, wind turbines consume electricity from the grid and this outside electricity is sometimes used…

The residents of Greenwood will have the opportunity to save their mountains when they vote on the ordinance on Aug. 6.

How often do people read an article about a wind power project in which the term “wind farm” is used? When most people think of a farm, they picture open fields and pastures where the hard-working owners practice good stewardship of the land to make it more productive.

On the contrary, a “wind farm” only harvests one crop, wind, which it…

On July 26, 2018, in an article headlined "LePage adviser repeats tall tale about UMPI wind turbine" which appeared in a number of newspapers including the Sun Journal, Jim LaBrecque, the "Technical Adviser to the Governor" was quoted as saying that the University of Maine at Presque Isle (UMPI) uses outside power to turn the blades of the University of Maine's wind turbine.
