A Showdown: US DOE Versus RGGI
Who wins this showdown determines if the Democrat's affordability issue is real or fake. RGGI wants to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from power plants. The U S Department of Energy wants electricity to flow without roadblocks from carbon dioxide restrictions.
Something has to give.
Natural gas plants which supply New England with 50% of its electricity will be forced to retire if RGGI continues.
Wind, solar and batteries can not replace natural…

An in depth look at the Proposed Aroostook County Wind and Transmission Projects
"Although the transmission and generation developers selected through this process will rely on private financing for construction, ratepayers will eventually repay those costs via their utility bills. The question that Sanborn, and ultimately the PUC, will consider is whether the projects will unlock enough savings—for example, by generating cheaper power than existing sources and eliminating transmission…

Another Maine Government Move to Crush Maine People Who Only Want to Stay Warm.

Our Brilliant OPA Stumbles Upon the Problem with Subsidies
It looks like CEPs have sniffed out the ratepayer subsidized LIAP program and helped themselves at the trough. Does the OPA see any similarities to policies that she has endorsed, such as solar, wind and battery storage where, one after another developer, feeds from the trough as ratepayers who are supposedly protected against unreasonable rates by this same OPA suffers one after another rate hike.…

Poll Finds New England Women Feel Misled About Climate Policies
"New England has enacted the nation’s most aggressive climate policies to phase out oil, gas, and coal and achieve a 100% renewable energy target by 2050. While it’s easy to blame utility companies and the federal government for exacerbating the electricity crisis, state policies—namely, New England’s decarbonization plans—bear more responsibility for inviting energy insecurity and associated higher costs."
"By continuing down its decarbonization…

The Suicidal Tendencies of RGGI
RGGI presents New England electric customers with a dilemma. Even if Maine decided to stop participating in RGGI, the costs of RGGI developed from other New England State's RGGI membership will permeate throughout the ISO-NE wholesale markets where the supply portion of monthly electric bills originate. The alternative would be to divert the amount of RGGI payments paid by the five fossil fuel plants located in Maine that are dedicated to Efficiency Maine Trust and return this money…

This Will Kill Off Fossil Fuel Electricity Plants in New England
Take a look at this chart:
The blue line is the business as usual "allowable emissions" which only cost Maine electricity customers about $47 million dollars last year, the most for any year Maine has been in RGGI. The light blue line represents a straight-line trajectory to achieve the emission goals of Maine State policy. The green line is based on RGGIs New Model…

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.
