RECs: The Hidden Costs of Renewables

In places like New England, where land value makes it expensive to build new facilities, REC sales provide an essential revenue stream for renewable energy developers. Each REC has a price. The price is the additional amount needed per MWh by the renewable energy generator to make post-1997 projects financially feasible. By mandating this type of renewable energy, the law is ensuring increased renewable energy supply in a space where supply would not get built without a…

Conservation groups call for federal review of offshore wind impact on Gulf of Maine ecosystems

How about the wind projects that are ruining interior Maine?

Maine Public | By Fred Bever

Published May 3, 2022 at 4:57 PM EDT

A wide coalition of New England conservation groups is calling on federal regulators for a rigorous review of the potential effects of offshore wind-farms on Gulf of Maine ecosystems and fisheries. And they want that effort made before specific wind sites are proposed - which the feds did not do when planning wind-lease areas in southern…

Brainwashing 101: Lawmakers approve $2 million in funding to expand climate education in Maine schools

Mainers likely to endure high electric rates into 2023 - Read the "Public Advocate's" real remedy for this

Harwood, the public advocate, believes Maine’s standard offer bid process needs to be adjusted. One approach could be to seek bids for both long- and short-term contracts, to smooth out rate impacts as a hedge against volatility. But the real answer, he said, is for New England states to speed up the transition to renewable generation and away from their dependence on natural gas.…

Maine has ambitious electric vehicle goals, but sales aren’t growing fast enough

by Jessica Piper

WEST GARDINER, Maine — A regular gallon of gasoline was still priced at $4.14 at the Maine Turnpike rest stop in West Gardiner on Saturday.

But while dozens of cars pulled through the Citgo station over a few hours, the nearby electric vehicle charging station sat empty.

High gas prices in recent months have further highlighted the appeal of electric vehicles, which had already seen growing demand in Maine for several years. With the…

New Study: Wind, Solar Energy Now Killing 48% Of Priority Bird Species With ‘Population-Level Effects’

Joe Biden set to speak at a "Green" University of Delaware Graduation Ceremony

Why the University of Delaware?

This university just happens to be the home to one of the most ridiculously rigged "Green Energy" mortality studies I've ever looked over.

This university also wouldn’t release Vice President Joe Biden’s senatorial records. Records which could contain files related to former Senate staffer Tara Reade’s accusation that…

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/
