It has been a long way up and quick ride down for SunEdison but bad news keeps piling up for the hedge fund hotel even as it dead-cat-bounces again. As the stock bounces, just as it bounced in September after Steve Cohen's Point72 exposed their stake and JPM jumped to the rescue, uncertainty remains extreme. Amid a surge in debt and increasingly negative…

For the RECORD an example of the scumbags at work.  My comments to this important story are being deleted.  Anyone else care to post information?                                                           …

Very briefly, environmentalists, primarily bird conservation groups have expanded the 1918 migratory bird law which makes it illegal to "pursue, hunt, take, capture [or] kill" any of more than 1,000 covered bird species, but courts have disagreed over whether such actions need to be intentional.

They have argued that oil spills, fracking and numerous other harmful impacts on bird populations must be punished, regardless of the original intent to halt…

Layoffs at SunEdison as Investors Question the Renewable Energy Developer’s Strategy

Why is a company that has to lay off so many of its workers giving so much money away to so called environmental groups in Maine?

It started off as a normal gathering. People mingled at multiple bars. A house band played on a small stage upstairs. Waiters handed out meat on sticks.

Suddenly, all the…

Our thoughts and prayers are with the workers.

What sort of safety problems might be lurking in Sun Edison's (First Wind's) wind turbines throughout Maine?

Vermont is on the move ...to common sense . I listened to Blittersdorf at the Addison county Democrats meeting a month ago,. He does not believe in adverse health effects of noise and gets angry when confronted with the power of MRI imaging to demonstrate brain responses when humans are exposed to very low frequencies (8 Herz). He calls people anti wind zealots when proper questions regarding emissions saving and definition of Public Good are sent to him. He wants 3000 MW of wind for…

The White House has a plan for Maine's future!  You be the judge - Better offshore than destroying our mountain tops and environment?

SunEdison's Plan to Reduce Costs May Not Be Enough, Analyst Says

SunEdison Inc. Chief Executive Officer Ahmad Chatila has some explaining to do, after announcing a plan to fire 15 percent of his workforce. It’s his latest move to reverse anindustry-worst 70 percent plunge in…

Blatant Unrepentant Liars

I recently sold a property 2.2 miles from a wind project at 1/2 its accessed evaluation( and I was lucky to sell it at all)

Anyone who believes First Wind/SunEdison / Terraform Power is "nummah than a hake" or a past patient of a frontal lobotomy. Remember this too , infra sound (low frequency noise emitted by these massive feckless turbines) is heard and annoying up to 2.5 miles by many people. Those within 4000 feet (the golden distance for litigation…

Folks near proposed wind farms should know that this topic has been thoroughly researched and the results indicate that home values will not be negatively affected by the arrival of a wind farm.

From the archives -- wasn't First Wind (now Sun Edison) CEO Paul Gaynor some sort of green energy adviser to then Mass Governor Deval Patrick?

Who are these people destroying Maine?

EXCERPTS:

Time is running out for Gov. Deval Patrick’s clean energy bill, and he is starting to sound a little worried about its prospects.

I caught up with him today as he…

How that map got drawn is not clear from the official record of the task force’s meetings. That’s because summaries for the last two meetings don’t exist, says task force chair Alec Giffen’s secretary, Rondi Doiron...... Maine Audubon’s Jody Jones described the process as “I want this in, I want this out.” Whatever the process looked and sounded like is lost to the public record because no minutes were taken or recorded.

The PUC is working hard to get gas lines increased and updated so we can lower our energy costs.  Watch below.

"Will Maine legislators ever wise up to the fact that our feel-good state energy policy is draining hundreds of millions of dollars from Maine’s economy and billions from the New England economy? As giant turbines continue to proliferate on more and more of our mountains and smiling wind developers pocket vast amounts of taxpayer and ratepayer money that should have been invested instead in more dependable forms of clean energy, one has to wonder."…

Here is a list of the MET Towers in Maine, but it is one year out of date.  It is from Chris O'Neil.

THE RESULT OF THE VOTE IS IN 274 AGAINST, 9 FOR.

PLEASE MAINERS WAKE UP AND OPPOSE THIS NIGHTMARE IN YOUR TOWNS. THE POLITICIANS WILL NOTICE .

WIND DEVELOPERS DO NOT LIKE TO BE BAD NEIGHBOURS. IT IS BAD FOR THEIR INVESTORS  SO THEY CAJOLE , SEDUCE AND BRIBE WITH CRUMBS.

IT IS TIME TO SAY NO TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANISATIONS

IT IS TIME TO SAY NO TO THE DEVELOPERS

IT TIME TO SAY NO TO THE POLITICIANS.

IT IS TIME TO SAY YES…

This is what the 2016 Presidential election will be all about - Green Energy!  Meanwhile, Putin bombs Syria!
