Higher Carbon Taxes and Similar Natural Gas Costs = Higher Electricity Costs
ISO-NE Reports:
Higher energy costs (2024 costs versus 2023 costs) were largely attributed to increased production costs and changes in the regional supply mix. Specifically, higher CO₂ emissions costs under the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) program and lower imports from Quebec were two key contributors. By
contrast, natural gas prices—the primary driver of electricity prices in New England—remained
relatively stable, averaging $3.06/MMBtu in 2024,…

Community Solar files a lawsuit against the people of Maine and threatens subscribers wth yanking their 15% savings
Upon further examination, this lawsuit filed by Community Solar hits people not subscribing to community solar as well as people who have subscribed into community solar.
They want the courts to decide that their money is more important than the money that belongs to the people of Maine.
They threaten their own subscribers to eliminate the 15% sign up savings.
This is outrageous! Suing the citizens of Maine while removing the only reason some…

A Dastardly Deed Stripping Maine People of Their Say on the Aroostook County Power Lines.
Two actions taken by the Democrats in Maine Government that means the 1200 megawatt wind project in Aroostook County will be rammed through and the people can do nothing to stop it.
1. In 2021 the mission statement for the PUC was amended to add the duty of "reducing greenhouse gas emissions to meet the greenhouse gas emissions reduction levels set forth in Title 38, section…

The Maine Democrats and Efficiency Maine Trust combine to destroy the livelihoods of Maine people
Efficiency Maine Trust (EMT) in cahoots with the Democrat ruled legislature and executive branches of Maine government have designed a path to destruction of Maine, one citizen at a time.
EMT's heat pump program commandeered the removal of an existing heating system with an enticement enabled by money all ratepayers pay through their monthly electric bills. This is nothing short of…

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.
