"Minimizing worker safety risks in the wind industry...using 2014 date from UK.  

What I got from this is this is an industry with pros who travel from site to site; and not one which would hire locally...making those employment statics a bit misleading.

Traffic is delayed on Route 201 near The Forks,

after a truck carrying a wind tower rolled onto its side.…

Despite the group’s infatuation with clean power and stated purpose to protect existing green energy policy, the group doesn’t seem to have much interest in following up on the recent downfall of a major clean energy producer in the U.S.

Mills and her coalition cohorts have not discussed investigating the collapse of SunEdison, one of the world’s largest global renewable energy development…

This means it has lasted only 15 years, which appears to be generally true of wind plants, according to a Renewable Energy Foundation article. However the design lifetime is assumed to be about 20–25 years......

It is important to remember that most of the wind turbines in operation world-wide were installed after the year 2000. So a rapidly increasing number of these should soon start to show signs of a much reduced lifetime.

As an aside, many calculations of the much relied…

This story was published in July 1984…

The Washington Post has assigned 20 Reporters to Dig into Trump's Past. This must really be important.

Now if the Washington Post just put a few truly investigative reporters on the Washington DC scam known as renewable energy tax credits, dozens would be sent to prison.                                                                                                          

Of course for this to take place we would need a Democracy. Nowadays judges would called upon…

I am just coming from an Appeal Hearing for 12 50 story killer Windmills at Altamont Pass. We were allowed 2 minutes each but when Dr. Smallwood came to represent the windmill co. Well it all changed. He was questioned given as much time as needed, about what I had just presented and he was named in some of the reports, along with Granger Hunt. Well he had no idea were any of this information came from, lie. Information that Smallwood and others that are paid by windmill co. well they have…

This article, which looks back at recent Maine energy legislative activity, entitled "Who benefits from this year’s changes in Maine energy laws?", makes no mention of ex-Governor John Baldacci's connection to this activity.Nor is the heinous LD 1513 mentioned by name. This is the same type of reporting that has allowed scores of wind articles to unfailingly regurgitate the wind industry's false claims, e.g., "such and such wind project will power 20,000 homes".

WHY DOES THE…

   If Maine had a real Attorney General, she would challenge the legality of the Alternative Compliance Payment rules in the Renewable Energy Portfolio Standards of Maine. The ACP is the cap price applied to electricity costs associated with the development of renewable forms of electrical production.

From the recent AP article announcing a plan that would allow wind companies and other power providers to "kill or injure up to 4,200 bald eagles a year without penalty" the USFWS gave out  official numbers pertaining to the current population status of Golden eagles. A population I might add that has been rapidly declining in the western US.                                                                                                

"The Fish and…

He has decried the development of wind-driven power generation for its drop-in-the-bucket inadequacy.

“At age 97, I am free to say it,” he wrote in an unusually acerbic style. “Maine people are stupid when it comes to electric energy options.”…

Trump, who fought a three-year battle to stop a wind farm within sight of his Scottish golf resort and last year told a 12-year-old girl in New Hampshire that windmills “kill a lot of birds,” not so much. While Trump said in January he was joking about blaming the Chinese for fabricating the concept of climate change, he still argued it is a “a very expensive form of tax.”…

Under the plan announced Wednesday, companies could kill or injure up to 4,200 bald eagles a year without penalty.                                                                                                         …
