Northern New England and NY State are part of one of the world's great forest areas. Let's not remove trees for useless wind projects and the giant transmission swaths they require. And let's not delude ourselves that these useless wind projects can have any positive effect on CO2 emissions. In fact, using NRCM's own data, all the planned wind projects in Maine would impact CO2 to a level equivalent to about what only 1% of …

Who Pays to Transmit Renewable Energy? NE States Divided

Maine ratepayers have already helped fund the $1.4 Billion "CMP Upgrade" and would be forced to help fund more New England wind power transmission which could cost $20 to $30 billion more. Folks, we are out of money and when our businesses compete with those in other states that have not inflicted themselves with "mandates", the result is simply more economic strangulation. Voluntary economic strangulation conceived by and for the wind industry. It is…

How to Fight the Big Wind Onslaught 



Calvin Luther Martin, January 2009 





Yesterday I turned 61. I've been fighting the wind bastards well over 4 years. Four years devoted to almost nothing else. Put a big book on hold with Yale Univ. Press for this. In those years I've answered thousands of emails from people around the world. Japan. Cyprus. Norway. Sweden. Czechoslovakia. Australia. New…

We will be before Judge Horton of the Business and Consumer Court for the second time. This past May he agreed with us that there was non-compliance and ordered the Clifton Planning Board to reconsider and make additional findings regarding some sound issues. They managed to make findings that affirmed their original 2011 permit approval. We are now representing ourselves and have written a brief and reply brief for the Court, and will be presenting oral arguments this Wednesday in Room 203…
