Citizens in the Moosehead Lake region have taken the lead to opt out of the expedited wind area. Moosehead Lake, known as the "crown jewel" of Maine is the most majestic, pristine lake in the Northeast US, if not the entire US. The Moosehead region enjoys a year 'round recreational economy. It should be off limits to Industrial wind!…

And according to Nicholas Livesay, around 30 other UT's have already inquired. Rep. Larry Dunphy, sponsor of the bill, and other Maine Legislators who represent the UT's have been at the forefront of alerting constitutents of this opporunity and assisting them with proper filing.…

2. A highly destructive and mandatory form of energy forced upon the public by a corporate run world.
3. The epitome of political corruption and organized crime.

I'm happy to say goodbye to 2015 - Especially after Congress threw every American taxpayer under the bus by giving $700 billion dollars in tax breaks to corporate America and wealthy Americans! Let's not forget next November that Maine's entire Congressional delegation voted for these tax breaks - and to ship American oil overseas.
But here in Maine we do have a few things to be thankful for - and a few people to thank!
Thank you Kay and Alan Michka, Rep. Larry…

See the following two articles.
It sure sounds like a 'margin call' to me. After selling First Wind assets to SUNE for megabucks the hedge funds that originally owned FW just took back some of those assets for pennies. What surprises me is that SUNE is a public corporation and yet they can keep the names of projects sold private? SUNE shareholders ought to be storming the gates and demanding the immediate replacement of all SUNE management.…

While many are aware that I have been fighting to save wildlife species from wind energy developments, most have no idea that I have an extensive history going back decades dealing with State and Federal wildlife agency fraud. Some of this information has never been disclosed but I feel getting this information out is important so communities fighting wind projects will better understand what they are up against.
The fallout…

The article says tax breaks and falling costs are boosting solar and wind - But at what cost! We all know we are paying for this several times over - First with investment tax credits, then with production tax credits, and then with renewable energy credits before it even gets to the meter! All this for 5% of the energy supply???
There was more hot air produced in this interview than from a wind project - including from Sun Edison's own Matt Kearns!…

Despite bogus studies and the opinions of wind industry shills, here is some of the ignored proof that repowering Altamont with much larger turbines has resulted in more eagle fatalities. Keep in mind that this total could be higher because wind employees do pick up carcasses and not all eagle fatalities are reported. …

With the extension of the PTC, offshore wind through UMaine is pushing the citizens of Bristol for placement of turbines off Monhegan Island. The vote by the citizens has been ruled non-binding.

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/
