Well, Troy, Another Fine Mess You Have Got Maine Into.

Talk about a plan that backfired on it's maker. Troy Jackson wanted to see a 1200 megawatt nameplate capacity wind project built in Aroostook County deliverable to Boston, Massachusetts. He wanted Massachusetts to buy these 1200 megawatts at premium prices. Instead the Maine PUC selected a 800 megawatt nameplate capacity wind project with Maine buying 600 megawatts at premium prices.

Stop the Insane Electricity Laws

Here is the latest from the best and brightest that are seated in our legislature. Let's get a group of "low income" people who can't afford their electric bills to buy a solar plant, attach it to CMP's or Versant's network and the ratepayers will pay them up to 24.68 cents per kilowatt hour in CMP territory and up to 30.354 cents per kilowatt hour in Versant territory. The PUC will make sure the payments keep up with inflation. The PUC determines "low…

Desperate Moves from ISO-NE

Imagine, a grid so crippled and desperate for generation assets, it would re-build  transmission all the way from Aroostook County, Maine to Boston, Massachusetts to transfer, wait for it, wind blown power. I say to Boston, you have wind, use it and keep your hands off Maine assets that count, our landscape and electric bills.

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.

Hannah Pingree on the Maine expedited wind law
