AI Spiders Are Coming For Your Free Speech

A frightening commentary form the Last Refuge/Conservative Treehouse on the use of AI to comb (like Spiders) the internet and remove or shadowban content that is unacceptable to the regime. It may sound farfetched or have the air of a conspiracy theory, but i'ts not and it's already in motion. The partnership between the government (namely Homeland Security) and Big Tech is growing daily with the objective of total control of the internet. They're preparing for a broader deployment before…

Is Wind Power and Related Transmission Lines on Maui the Cause of the Catastrophe on Maui?

Maui is the home of massive wind farms and needed transmission lines. Indeed,Maui is now utilizing  unreliable intermittent wind as a prime source of power. The Kaheawa 1 and 2 projects,Auhuahi turbines and Hawaii Wind and Solar tower over the island of Maui. We all know a  maze of transmission lines is needed to transmit this low density source of power all over the island. Be sure to listen to the cause of the catastrophe,and it was not man made global warming,it may indeed have…

Is net energy billing screwing standard offer customers?

 The Maine OPA wants the PUC to investigate the impact NEB has on standard offer supply offers:

"While in prior years the impact on standard offer rates was likely negligible, the recent sharp increase in NEB projects may be having a significant impact on standard offer prices."
 "Because the standard offer rate is set through annual competitive bidding,…

China Abandons Clean Energy Goals Making US Efforts Painful And Pointless

Tuesday, Aug 15, 2023

Authored by Mike Shedlock via MishTalk.com,

Bidenomics and the EPA have America on a path of inflationary and environmental madness that’s all pain and no gain...

Three Key Takeaways

China has repeatedly stated that it has no intention of going along with the Western push to net-zero.

EVs are not emissions-free, because they need electricity to charge them, and electricity generation creates emissions.

All these costs…

BDN - The questions and controversy behind a proposed Maine wind power line

Does anyone believe the electricity production claims and ratepayer cost claims? What are the real costs when EVERYTHING is factored in, including the costs which derive from the fact that wind is unreliable, intermittent and largely unpredictable? And what of the collision course we're on as the push towards "unreliables" meets up with the equally ill conceived and disastrous push towards EV's?

Electric Vehicles vs. Maine Winters: Will EVs struggle with Maine’s frigid cold?

“There’s a lot of uncertainty about what the vehicle owner’s experience would be if they drive the vehicle in Maine or Michigan,” said one researcher.

Longtime Wind Supporter Becky Bartovics Not Happy About Wind Industry Plans for Island Near Her Backyard

I'm not sure whether Sierra Executive Committee member Becky Bartovics' objection to a wind facility on Sears Island would qualify as NIMBYism or not. But if it does, I would ask, "What's so wrong with protecting one's own backyard?" After all, if one doesn't protect their own backyard, who will?

I've never been to Sears Island, but I imagine it is a beautiful place and not a good site.…

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.
