A concerned Maine resident and U.S. citizen and taxpayer has just provided the following bit of analysis:

From September, 2016:

Record Hill Wind missed the filing deadline again with FERC for 2Q2016 (it was 8/31). I have to believe that they are in serious financial trouble. The ISO-NE Average Wholesale Energy rate for 2Q2016 was $23.39 MWH. In 2013 it was $40.74 MWH and in 2014 it was $38.18 MWH. Kibby reported an average rate for 2Q2016 of $20.42 and Stetson 1…

King's $102 million loan guarantee was singled out on the new Fox News Channel program, The Next Revolution with Steve Hilton, on Sunday, 6/11/2017

The video of the program is at the link below in a segment on "The Green Lobby" at the 33 minute and 30 second mark. The part on King begins at the 36 minute and 30 second mark.…

The wind turbine has never come close to generating amount of energy promised, and Entegrity Wind went bankrupt in 2009.

The wind turbine is in need of repair and was shut down last year due to safety concerns, said City Administrator Kevin Sutherland.

The city’s Energy Committee and city staff have recommended getting rid of the wind turbine, and putting it out to bid to see if someone will purchase it for scrap material.

Howard Carter, chairman of the city’s Energy…

The oldest commercial wind power facility in Canada has been shut down and faces demolition after 23 years of transforming brisk southern Alberta breezes into electricity — and its owner says building a replacement depends on the next moves of the provincial NDP government.

TransAlta Corp. said Tuesday the blades on 57 turbines at its Cowley Ridge facility near Pincher Creek have already been halted and the towers are to be toppled and recycled for scrap metal this spring. The…

In this article it is shown, the direct emissions of methane and CO2 of the world’s 3.6 billion ruminants is 6.939 billion metric ton of CO2 equivalent per year, and of the world’s 1.0 billion light duty vehicles is 4.830 billion Mt CO2 eq./y; ruminant emissions are about 43.7% greater than LDVs.

Additional ruminant related emissions are due to pasturing, feeding, processing, packaging, selling, etc. of meat and dairy products. For example, in the US, the life cycle CO2 eq.…

Tomorrow, slipped quietly in an off election, Mainers get to vote on the $50 million dollar bond to be used to help fund the Aqua Ventus offshore wind project.  Please vote NO and save our birds!

GE under Immelt:

It also invested more heavily in new technologies, including a recent $1.65 billion acquisition of LM Wind Power, a Denmark-based manufacturer of rotor blades for wind turbines.

National Energy Systems are Wasteful: About 75% of the fossil energy taken out of the ground to generate electricity never reaches the end user as electricity due to various losses from mine or well to user’s meter, and due to changes in embedded energy due to repairs, replacements, enhancements, expansion, etc., of the various systems, from mine or well to meter, plus, for a more inclusive approach, the energy required for the various other activities of the power industry-government…

Attempts to “fight climate change” have two things in common:

The Paris Agreement, the Kyoto Protocol, Copenhagen — all “climate” agreements packaged and marketed to the great unwashed only several years apart from each other. America said “Hell no” to all three of these agreements, even if a president’s pen got overeager.

Every one of these alleged attempts to “fight climate change” have two things in common: First, the U.S. is…

On the Federal Wind industry guidelines, there is a short discussion about the Altamont Pass wind turbines and the impact they have had on the regional golden eagle population. None of it is true.  Also not true are the all the reports to the public that the Altamont Pass area reportedly has largest density of breeding Golden Eagles in the world. Sadly, this…

Some real science is below.Anthropomorphic global warming is entirely in the temperature corrections.

Supporters of the deal routinely point out that 193 countries have signed on. Although that is technically true, the vast majority of commitments offered in Paris would result in emissions increases or would require billions of dollars in funding — or, in many cases, both.

“Claiming that 193 countries signed on is a meaningless statement, which is likely why it’s made. The meaningful way to view it is that 193 countries agreed…
