It's Time to Voluntarily Un-Enroll from the Voluntary Enrollment in RGGI

ISO-NE Reports:

  • "In sum, we believe that, for the clean energy transition to be successful, the region must continue to have reliable supplies of gas for home heating and electricity. Without adequate gas, the region may not be able to meet the demand for home heating and electricity – and, when reliability suffers, the clean energy transition suffers. We have seen that story play out in Europe, Australia and, closer to home,…

Opportunities for Republicans in Maine Legislature. MAGA implications

Is this the year of swing, meaning do the republicans have a chance to become a force in the Maine Legislature? If they focus hard on energy conditions in the state, the rapid deployment of ill- fated solar projects, the money spending of Efficiency Maine Trust and other issues that are crushing household budgets of their constituents, they are poised to bring sanity back to foster the consent of the governed.

Consider, President Trump has promised to shake up the "Green New…

Former Lawmaker, Business Leader Heather Sanborn to Serve as Public Advocate

Reportedly very smart.

Also reportedly, once upon a time when sitting on the EUT Committee in a former (but related) life ---

"After very thoughtful citizen testimony on a very well written anti-wind visual impact bill, she asked the question:

“ I don’t understand you people who don’t like looking at green energy? When I’m skiing at Sugarloaf with my kids I’m thrilled to see the Kibby turbines. I tell my kids…

When paying $135 per megawatt hour is saving ratepayer money (Cough)

The PUC selected the following 6 projects on behalf of the ratepayers. How do they save us money. It would cost more to pay them by Net Energy Billing

BTW, The Latest Quarterly Report from ISO-NE Reports the Summer of 2024 wholesale average price was $39/MWhr

The Gaslighting Stops When Net Energy Billing is Eliminated

Net Energy Billing is not going away soon. Current projects thriving from ratepayer subsidies will thrive for many years, as they are under contract for up to twenty years. The Maine PUC lists these ratepayer costs as stranded costs or also known as "public policy" costs. These costs have become an incredible burden to the household budget as customers in the smallest rate class pay the largest amount. The "delivery service" charge on the delivery portion of the monthly CMP…

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/

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.
