It feels like Governor Baldacci's wind task force all over again. Fool us once, shame on you. Fool us twice, shame on us.

"We thank the following individuals and organizations—in addition to those who respectfully choose to remain anonymous—for offering their insight and perspectives on this work."…

Yes Habib, flushing billions in taxpayer money down the toilet, killing ratepayers, harming fishermen, harming tourism and driving companies out of Maine due to yet higher electricity costs will indeed help the state's economy. What a shamelessly shilling self serving statement. BRASS. Give us a break. …

NRCM and the wind developers do not want this line. If the line is not built, many more wind projects would be planned for Maine. Does anyone think that NRCM told Patagonia how many ridges get destroyed and how many birds get killed when industrial wind projects come to Maine?

“Most of the power lines are in place already! Wind power causes way more destruction by blowing holes on tops of our beautiful mountains! Hydro power is steady,…

Study links climate change with storms moving slower

Why does every study end with the same conclusion?

It's raining today - - - - it must be climate change.

It's snowing today - - - it must be climate change.

GERMANY

Germany, a major industrial country, is a leader in renewable energy generation. However, Germany made a significant mistake. Germany decided to phase out its nuclear plants, which produce low-cost electricity that has near-zero CO2/kWh, instead of replacing the plants. Germany continued to the use of lignite, a soft coal (low-Btu/lb.) coal, and hard coal. As a result, the CO2eq emissions have not decreased for the past 8…

The Town of Kittery Looks To Remove Defunct Wind Turbine

In 2008, the beginning of our twisted love affair with wind turbines, The town of Kittery voted to add a new turbine on their landfill and were promised that it would save them $8,000 a year in energy costs. It cost them $185,000 to install it and within a year found that it only produced about 16% of what was promised. They investigated many options for repair…

Cicilline Says Offshore Wind is Rebuke to President

Rhode Island has taken a step to broaden their development of offshore wind. My take is to let them make the mistake, as long as it does not hurt us here in Maine.…

It appears that the Calpine “meet n greet” tomorrow is what the DEP calls a “Public Informational Meeting,” or PIM.

Angus is more than a political independent. he stands alone as phenomenon outside of Nature as we know it---the only object known to science that has but a single dimension. He's a geometrical miracle, all surface and no depth. He's incapable of uttering anything but common-place ideas or sentiments. He serves up well-strained pablum tested to soothe the voters.  Apparently his principle work to "be moderate."

He explains that he is running again because “There is so much left to be…

Following 20 years of crippling circulation declines, loss of subscription revenues, loss of single copy sales revenues and loss of ad revenues, many have long speculated that newspapers have begun moving to a new revenue model: providing favorable news coverage in return for money. When one reads for the 100th time that a wind "farm" will power 35,000 homes, after the newspapers have been shown this to be an outright falsehood, one wonders whether wind companies have the media on their…

King’s banners, signs and bumper stickers read simply “Angus – Independent for U.S. Senate” and his address was a mix of policy priorities, light-hearted anecdotes and quotes from Abraham Lincoln.................He has been pretending to be something he is not for so long that he has lost touch with the needs of Maine people. Angus King is no independent – not even close. He plays an independent in election year sound bites and TV ads, but still votes like an elite California liberal…

More Lies and Hype From the Wind Industry.

Iowa is promoting to their population that they will soon be able to produce 100% of their electricity from "Cheap" wind power. Of course we all know that is TOTALLY impossible, and even they know that because in the text of the article they say "Given that wind energy won't always be available to cover demand, MidAmerican said it would still need to rely occasionally…

Gov. Paul LePage and Central Maine Power are battling it out with environmental groups, local power generators and a bipartisan group of legislators over a proposed $950 million electrical transmission line from Lewiston to Quebec. The 146-mile New England Clean Energy Connect (NECEC), which is a joint effort of CMP and Hydro-Québec, would bring 1,200 megawatts of Canadian hydro power to Massachusetts through the existing regional grid to comply with the…

An energy development company is requesting a zoning change for more than 700 acres of blueberry fields in eastern Hancock County where it hopes to establish a 100-megawatt solar farm.

The site in Township 16, on land owned by Elliott Jordan & Son Inc., is roughly a mile away from a wind turbine that is part of Novatus Energy’s 51-megawatt Hancock Wind farm which, according to a report by Vox, has the tallest land-based wind turbines in the…

Baker adviser helped energy firms land big Mass. contracts

From the Boston Globe is an article that proves that those making our decisions for us are motivated by cash in their own pockets, not the good of the people. Jim Conroy splits his time between promoting politicians like Charlie Baker and being a promoter for Vineyard Wind LLC and Central Maine Power Co. Isn't that a…

Proponents, including installers of solar systems, present many numbers, usually in not too clear a format, to show how profitable it is to have solar on your roof.

This article presents a spreadsheet analysis of two plans:

- Plan A, the Standard Plan, which is to invest in a rooftop solar system.

- Plan B, the Warren Buffett Plan, which is to invest in shares of AT&T that pay a…
