Before Maine's landscape is squandered for naught, it is hoped more citizens learn the consequences of failed energy policy and feel good wind power  , and then act to stop them soon!

Chris O'Neil from Friends of Maine's Mountains Makes an impassioned and fact driven expose' of what happened to ISO-NE on Sept 8th.  Our wind farms failed to produce when they were called on during a peak period that lasted most of the day.  Prices went from $30 per MWH to nearly $1,000 per MWH during that period.  So much for "Free" Wind.…

Bob Duchesne, VP of Penobscot Audubon, writes a very good article about the migration season that is just beginning.  He does, however, leave out any mention of the new dangers facing our feathered friends from spinning blades.

The elites in Portland  , Augusta and Maine State government seem  to  agree with left coast energy policy.

Is Maine trying to emulate the green policies of California?

Please read this WSJ op ed  and see if this should be Maine’s future.

$3.22 a gallon and  30 cents a KWH delivered is on the way.

The elites and piggies at the subsidy trough in Maine love…

Fort Fairfield is entertaining a huge wind development, but they are making some demands that will make it very hard for the developers to proceed.  One mile setbacks from property owners that are opposed to the project make it almost impossible.  Read below.…

Green Energy Really Is a Ponzi Scheme

Get ready to pull your hair out with the lies and distortions in this article from The Hill.  They have turned every fact 180 degrees on its head and added a few more.  The Polar Vortex of last winter is blamed, of course, on the Koch Brothers and their energy policies and global climate change.  He says wind improves our power reliability by diversifying our energy mix.  Funny how the wind farms in our northern counties are some of the biggest USERS of energy, especially in the…

Just an FYI article.  Maybe a little less money can make a change.

Congress: Extend the Investment Tax Credit for Advanced Energy Technologies

This article is written by a man that needs the subsidies to justify his research and further existence. I say level the playing field for everyone and let the programs that excel go forward and the others die.  That is true American business.  No fair picking winners and losers before the truth is told.…

I know this is a little political, but when you keep hitting your head against the wall, and nothing seems to get better, maybe it is time for a change of views.

Should the wind industry continue to promote their fraudulent research through media outlets to help sell turbine projects to ignorant Americans?

Yes......... Fraud for the right price is OK in today's world.

No…

The Oakfield project is to come on line this fall, and the media is getting a tour this week.  48 turbines, and 58 miles of transmission line all going to Massachusetts.  Thanks Maine Legislature.

I really hope leadership does not fall for this clearly lopsided bill that will raise prices for all energy.  Of course Angus is leading the way.  He doesn't have any irons in the fire does he?

Are any of you plugged into the white papers produced under the Public Advocate's office  STRATEGEN (Strategies for Clean Energy) series?

The Latest is a direct benefit for the solar PV industry in Maine, and possibly an 'end-around' to Maine's net metering, power generating, and grid interconnection rules. It would enable 'organized community shareholders' to underwrite solar farms to generate power and distribute it through the grid with a minimal charge for grid distribution and…

The windies are still preaching the lie that the fuel for wind turbines is FREE!!!  This is a really hard article to read without gagging.

Small farms in Maine have been really struggling and these systems may make life better for them.  This is a good investment for our government and the farms (consumers).

Emera is buying TECO, the power company in Tampa, FL and the people there are already worried about the reputation that Emera boosts rates higher than they should.  They say Emera is committed to renewables so look out Tampa!…
