Public Comment #56 to Maine PUC-LS Power Transmission Line

 CommentText I am writing to request that LS Power Grid Maine not be granted a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for the Aroostook Renewable Gateway. My understanding is the PUC needs to consider various factors including nontransmission alternatives, public health and safety, scenic, historic and recreational values as well as how close the lines will be to homes. LSPGM has not provided any evidence of these considerations in establishing their routes nor have they engaged…

BELIEVE IT: The Climate Change-Industrial Complex is an Existential Threat

The Climate Change-Industrial Complex is an Existential Threat

By Chris Talgo

On January 17, 1961, President Dwight D. Eisenhower issued his Farewell Address, in which he warned that the United States must “guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence… by the military-industrial complex.” While Ike was correct in his assessment of the dangers posed by the military-industrial complex during the early years of the Cold War, a new, more dire threat to…

"Either our municipalities need to change how they approach housing development, or they need to have a change forced upon them."

Our View: Communities must step up on housing – or step aside

Local control of housing in Maine has resulted in high costs and low supply. Something has to change.

Electric Car Mandates Battle and the 2024 Election

Let’s see what the auto workers get in the face of President Biden’s unrealistic demand that would force us to buy Chinese-battery-powered vehicles.

The sheep will remain loyal – just as they are to every other radical idea – because to resist is to be uncool or, worse, deplatformed from woke society.

But the “irredeemable deplorables” (who buck the system) are getting restless about an all-out plunge into the uncharted waters of EV world – a world dominated by China and its…

No, Wind Power is Not Cheaper Than Gas

by Alex Kriel and Duncan White

7 October 2023

Advocates of Net Zero policies repeatedly reassure the public that they are advancing cheap, green energy with the promise of vast numbers of lucrative green jobs and world leadership for the U.K. in selected green technologies.

Unfortunately for the hard pressed British electorate, ‘cheap, green energy’ is nothing more than an empty political slogan arrived at by a dishonest sleight of hand. Specifically, the…

Opinion piece: Local residents need more say in Maine wind power powerline project

Just one more example of totalitarianism disguised as "green". Each of the two projects, a giant wind complex and the transmission it requires, benefits only the hucksters and cause great harm to the people of Maine. Both projects are built on lies, actually big lies. And such big lies are never questioned within the official narratives but rather wholly supported. Thankfully the people are beginning to awaken.

Every single elected official and regulator supporting this…

The Dangerous Delusion of a Global Transition To “Just Electricity”

By contrast, “transitioning” humanity to just electricity means converting to wind and solar systems that can manufacture none of the vital products now being used by humanity. That will very likely cause the death of BILLIONS of people from diseases, malnutrition, lowered living standards and weather-related disasters, whereas projections of millions of fatalities from “carbon emissions” and climate change are based on computer models that take none of these realities into…

Americans Slowly Start to Figure Out the Myth of “Authority”

The mainstream media is lamenting that the American citizens (slave class) are figuring out that authority is a myth. Dropping the belief that someone has the right to rule them is starting in the form of no longer trusting the science given by the rulers to control everyone else.

Wildfires turn Canada’s vast forests from carbon sink into super-emitter

Mother Nature Wins the Carbon War, Again

"The vast swaths of pine, spruce and larch forest that blanket much of Canada have been prized for generations. Not only do they provide a home to hundreds of species – including some of the most threatened in the country – but they also absorb more greenhouse gases than they emit, acting as a huge carbon…

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.
