There is a new proposal in the works by the "realists" of the EV push in Maine and elsewhere, powered by the critical thinking of the Green Left.

I am sure the energy gurus at NRCM will jump on board first!…

PUC Denies L&S Power's Contract

The PUC couldn't make L&S Power's lowball bid revisons work, so they killed the bid. I'm sure the folks at Longroad and Clearway are scrambling to fill the gap from this decision. My recollection is the bidding process outlines a procedure that allows for the "next bidder up" process to kick in if the selected bidder fails to close. The cost of this project has been seriously impacted by inflation, supply chain issues, and borrowing costs. similar to the issues facing offshore wind. …

The Shocking Real Purpose for the Government Mandated Vehicle "Kill Switch" Revealed By Whistleblower

These things will be coming in the new cars thanks to congress having made it law. They're supposedly to keep an intoxicated driver off the road. But they'll be used for very bad things. Like eventually forcing you into an EV which most commoners won't be able to afford. They don't want us in cars. They don't want us.

Just like "smart meters". They were installed under the false pretense of smartly controlling the grid and letting you save some money by doing your laundry at…

Relying on an EV in a Maine power outage mustn't be good

Somewhere in Maine is a Tesla owner who had to go somewhere this morning but couldn't when the power outage prevented charging.

Perhaps he was fortunate and was able to use a gas powered generator to get a home charge. I wonder if a PORTABLE generator would have worked. I doubt it. So perhaps another possible expense entailed in EV ownership is having the right kind of permanent generator (maybe $15,000 or so???) installed in one's home.

The good news is that if…

Throw Away, Part Time Producing, Expensive Wind Plants= JUNK

1/3 of wind turbines in Spain to be dismantled within five years

7,500 wind turbines in Spain to be dismantled within five years

Approximately 36% of energy-generating wind turbines in Spain will need to be decommissioned within the next five years as they become obsolete, predicts the Wind Energy Association (AEE). This translates to around 7,500 wind turbines and 20,000 blades turning into scrap that will have to be dismantled, transported, and processed, posing a…

Opinion: Aroostook Renewable Gateway suffers from a lack of planning

I am on RFKJr’s campaign mailing list, probably through Children’s Health Defence and they asked me for money, and I said sure, just as soon as he fixes the catastrophe he caused in the province where I live. 

Got a message back!

It read, “Elizabeth, I am sure Robert would fix whatever harm he caused, can you explain?”

No problem, I said.

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/
