"Time of Use" Electricity Pricing Means Getting Out of Bed Earlier, Getting the Electricity Humming Earlier, and Paying a Bigger Monthly Bill.
What a dilemma.
The Maine PUC wants us to go "time of use" so we will change of behavior.
These cold mornings are causing the daily peak price of electricity to occur at 7:00 am as heat setting are turned back up as we awaken.
Now, you have to get to work, so getting up later to avoid the peak price is not an option, so you must get up earlier, but you, nevertheless, are going to turn up the thermostat because it is cold.
Now the peak load happens earlier and…

New U.S. Energy Secty Makes Unleashing Nuclear Power Priority for American Energy Abundance
I like nuclear but don't like the "all of the above" energy strategy mentioned. Hopefully there are plans to stop all wind, not just offshore. A useless source is a useless source.

The GREEN DREAM is Over Guvnah' Mills, Get Maine's Economy Going With Federal Energy Policy or Forever Be Left Behind
Unless Maine's Authoritarian Governor gets with the times and stops following the corrupt NGO's like NRCM ,Sierra Club etc. (with their GREEN Subsidized Scam Dreams which have now ended) and rejects undo-able low power density Wind and Solar Subsidized Scamming , Maine will remain 50th in the nation in many things.

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.
