As anyone who has been paying attention to the scam known as green energy can tell you, the only justification for buidling out wind and solar farms is to harvest the lucrative Federal subsidies - billions of dollars in handouts to wealthy investors, many foreign in origin, while fueling the rise in electricity rates. With the passage of Biden's Inflation Reduction Act, a cruel joke pertpetrated by the Uniparty crowd in DC, the economics of more wind and solar farms will be…

It's a bad joke, but I have no doubt this is all part of a grand scheme to get Dementia Joe and the Biden Crime Gang to the off ramp. AndHunter has a new excuse to avoid a Congressional deposition - see how that works.
Joe will not be the '24 nominee - they always have a plan - Republicans - not so much.

The actual headline is below. Perhaps it's correct to characterize offshore wind as young (in the U.S.) but not the wind industry. The Production Tax Credit (PTC), which constitutes a sizable part of the corporate welfare upon which the wind industry is built, came about in the early 1990's. Based on that, wind is anything but a young industry. The PTC when introduced, was defined as a TEMPORARY giveaway. However, whenever it has been set to expire, the wind developers have gotten down…

MICHAEL SHELLENBERGER: I think what’s so interesting about what’s happening right now is that just even a year or two ago, global elites used to pretend to care about people but they’re not even pretending anymore,”…

This is not news for long time observers of the wind power fight in Maine. These whorish groups have sold out, just like their presstitute counterparts in the mainstream media. Getting paid by the highest bidders in exchange for one's seal of approval is as lucrative as it is shameless.

MOSCOW — Residents at a special town meeting Thursday voted to prohibit commercial solar farms, opting to go a step further than many other towns in central Maine when it comes to restricting the development of large solar projects.
Moscow joins a growing list of Maine municipalities that have passed measures limiting or temporarily prohibiting solar farms. But it is unclear if…

The wealthy elites pushing the climate agenda are facing rounds of criticism online, after a video emerged showing their private jets frozen on a runway in Munich allegedly as some were heading to a climate change summit currently being held in Dubai. This happens as new data suggests the richest one percent in the world generate as much carbon emissions as the poorest two-thirds of the world’s population combined. And this is sparking a broader debate on why it seems the…

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/
