There is no doubt that "Unique Circumstances" allowed this beneficial decision for PPDLW to stand.

Are all other wind projects in Maine now on the fast track?

KILL PL-661 . pack BEP with pro scenic quality Maine folks, and get DEP away  from rubber stamping projects?

The Fight Continues unfortunately.

Who is the "Supreme Judge" as to   what is beautiful about each area of this unique state?

Unless the citizens get much more active in the aesthetic…

Maine court interprets wind energy law

Maine's highest court has issued an opinion interpreting Maine's laws governing wind energy project development. The opinion is noteworthy for its analysis of two areas of Maine wind energy law -- those designed to expedite the…

What the president reportedly hides behind the curtain is his alliances with international green elites, a select group of political and Wall Street cronies, and energy regulatory czars who have orchestrated a CO2 carbon-taxing scheme that would put billions of dollars into their own pockets. A regulatory structure is being assembled through federal agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).…

Start at the 2:00 minute mark. The wind industry can not be happy with Donald Trump. He has had personal experience with fighting two wind projects and as he states in this video "I know a lot about wind". As we know, the more one knows about wind, the less they like it.

Please be sure to read both of these articles on a huge victory for the Maine environment and the average citizen. And a crushing defeat for SunEdison / First Wind.

The Court upheld the Board of Environmental Protection's (BEP's) conclusion that the project's sixteen turbines would have "an unreasonable adverse effect on the scenic character and existing uses related to the scenic character” of nine of the lakes which the State recognizes as "Scenic Resources of State or…

This morning the Maine Supreme Judicial Court issued its decision denying Champlain Wind LLC's appeal concerning a permit for its Bowers Wind Project in Carroll Plt and Kossuth Twp. Champlain Wind is a subsidiary of Maine's largest wind developer, First Wind. The decision marks the end of a six year process of hearings and appeals which pitted the wind developer against local residents, professional guides, traditional sporting camp owners and loyal visitors to Maine's famed Downeast Lakes…

Proponents of wind power in Maine unveiled a report Tuesday at Bangor City Hall touting the growth of wind power over the last decade and its potential to further reduce the harm of climate change.

 “Our message today is clear: Wind power here in Maine is already growing steadily, reducing pollution and helping to reduce the climate crisis,” said Laura Dorle, a campaign organizer for Environment Maine, a Portland-based environmental advocacy group. “But we need policies to provide…

Stay Tuned.

I knew the earlier post was too good to be true.  All the fuss going on in Paris is pushing the limits out.  I sure wish some of these idiots would just look at the news about what wind is doing to Europe, and see how many of those countries are bailing out of wind.  This makes me SICK to think we have to continue to fight a lie perpetuated by the Lame Stream Media and NOAA and IPCC and our Glorious Leader BHO!.…

Here’s a question for Kansas’s congressional delegation: Do you support raising gas and electricity bills in the Sunflower state by more than $750 in the next five years? That’s exactly what’s at stake with Congress’s upcoming vote to renew the wind Production Tax Credit (PTC).

This is what we here in Maine are facing also if the PTC is renewed.  We need to have this letter put into the PPH, BDN, LSJ and other papers around the State, and write and copy this letter…

Kennebec Journal and Morning Sentinel opinion piece that is very slanted toward the Wind side of the argument saying that LePage sent StatOil packing and continues to fight for hydro from Quebec.  They still maintain that wind is priced comparable to hydro, coal, gas, etc.  How do we let these liars and fabricators keep spewing the mis-facts they do?  Offshore wind is going to be extraordinarily expensive to get up and running.…
