Maine Voices: It’s time for Congress to end the wind production tax credit (again)

The Maine delegation should not endorse spending billions more to spur the growth of a mature industry that does little good for the U.S.

Account emerges for why state workers yanked anti-wind signs in Moosehead region

Turns out Plum Creek Timber Co. didn't want a sign next to its office, and its inquiry with the state may have had a bigger effect than intended.

    …

Again I ask........ Can anyone say

ENRON II

Some attorneys seem to be able to.…

So it was Plum Creek who complained...And the rest we know - Moosehead regions citizens first amendment rights violated - I think we'll be hearing a lot more about this!

Excerpts:

The trail of corruption starts in 2004 with the Massachusetts state legislature and former Governor Deval Patrick also known as “Sally Reynolds” to wind turbine contractors......The former author of the “Green Communities Act” Massachusetts Speaker of the House Sal DiMasi sits in an undisclosed federal prison serving an eight year sentence for corruption........It should be noted the news media in Massachusetts has…

Every Audubon member truly dedicated to saving bird species across North America, should gather together at press conference telling the world they are quitting this organization because they have sold out to wind energy. They should also announce the formation of new group called Audubon's Warriors that will no longer accept rigged or non scientific research, be silent about the hidden slaughter taking place from wind turbines and promote wind industry propaganda as truth.

What does this mean you ask?

I hope this is a rhetorical question and not a naive one  please Pineo Girl!

IT DEFINITIVELY MEANS, and TIMBER COMPANIES HAVE OFTEN STATED  THIS,THAT WIND TURBINES BLEND IN WELL WITH THEIR CORE BUSINESS!

It MEANS ,"LOCK AND LOAD MOOSEHEAD, BECAUSE THEY ARE COMING AT YOU "…

The NECBC’s annual Energy Trade & Technology Conference is one of the major annual North American energy events.

What does this mean for the people in the Moosehead Region and the Sun Edison plan for a wind project?  I am praying for  a return to a traditional forestry focus!

Utility CEO: Green energy plan DOA in northern Vermont

This appeared today in the science section of a California newspaper with a long history of publishing false Altamont wind energy stories. Propaganda is not science.

This is another example of how the pro-wind side has inserted itself in key places such as "environmental groups". Yesterday we saw how 50% of the Maine Trust for Public Lands is comprised of current or former First Wind/SunEdison employees including a senator's…

Maine is one of the states, cities, counties, etc that have joined the "Clean Power Plan".  Here is a quote from NY State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. 

“The EPA’s Clean Power Plan is a critical step forward in responding to the threat of climate change. The rule is firmly grounded in science and the law,” states Schneiderman. “The rule incorporates successful strategies New York and other states have used to cut climate change pollution from power plants while maintaining…

When the wind industry moves into a state it stacks the deck in its favor as best it can. Some of the groups it invariably tries to win over, whatever the costs, are government officials and environmental groups.

If it can, it may attempt to become part of the very environmental groups it will later go to for seals of approval of its earth scarring, wildlife killing, health damaging and citizen rights crushing wind projects.

It would appear that at least two current…

                                                          Money from dead eagles

Altamont has been in the news a great deal lately as this wind resource area tries to garner public support for their new huge turbines being installed at Altamont. One of the major selling points for these turbines we are being fed by stories is that these turbines will reduce eagle mortality. Let's look at some hidden facts that say…

Think hard about this!  Maine is 3rd in carbon capture in the nation and we are 7th in carbon emissions. 48% of our emissions comes from the transportation sector, 14% from electrical sector, and 14% from the residential sector. We have no coal fired production facilities and only one oil fired electrical plant on Cousins Island that gets paid $4 million a year just to be at the ready when intermittent energy sources like wind fail.  We have lost 3 of our former larger industrial polluters -…

Researchers at the University of Kansas are looking at how wind turbines affect the wind when a larger number of turbines remove the energy of atmospheric motion.

Here is an excerpt from an update by Lisa Linowes of wind Action regarding the PT'Cs - Thank you Lisa for all you do!

Hi Folks. I’m long overdue in sending out this update re: the Wind PTC and what’s happening in Washington.

Where things stand: As you know, the wind PTC expired December 2014. Due to the “begin construction” language in the…
