An article featuring research from our own good friend Dr. John Droz details how National Security is being ignored in favor of "climate change".…

I hope while they are in Denmark, they take notice of the cost of energy in Denmark.  It is roughly $.47 per kwh!  We in Maine can not sustain that kind of cost for electricity.  Maine would become a wilderness again as all the businesses and people would move to where they could afford it.  I notice that all these people in the group are from the southern part of the state, where they have yet to put any wind turbines.  They want to send more our way!…

While I have long been a user of a solar array on my camp that is off the grid, and I support those who want to put solar arrays on their own home, here in Maine, 4.2 usable hours of wintertime sun is hardly a "bright opportunity."  That is just 17.5% of usable power for the array.  As long as this is used by private homes or businesses, I have no problem, but this sounds like wealthy investors might jump into the market for the massive subsidies available.…

Massachusetts is so far behind Maine in clean air and energy yet they are depending on Maine to provide "renewables" (wind) for the future.  Maine is the second cleanest state in the union when it comes to greenhouse gasses due to our use of hydro, gas and biomass.  We can not turn Vacationland into Wind Devastated Land for Mass, Conn, RI and NY.…

A 14 member Maine delegation will travel to Denmark to explore their excellent "green Energy Facilities". Good luck with that at .41 cents a KWH!!  I know people over there who  can't even afford to charge their electric cars let alone turn their lights on!

Last week was the big Clean Energy Summit in Las Vegas.  This article was written from our side of the argument so it is like preaching to the choir.  Prepare to get a good laugh at the continuous stream of mis-truths and outright lies as told by our opponents.

I don't know about any of you, but I get the willies just looking at this.  But who knows, it might just become the new fad.…

It might take another two years for the data to be collected, but Sun Edison is looking to expand their holdings in Maine.  Let's all hope that the subsidies die out, and there is new blood in Washington that will put an end to the madness.  The folly of wind has got to end before all our hilltops look like Stetson, Hancock and others.…

SunEdison withdraws application to build wind farm in Hancock County

Company officials want more time to address DEP concerns about potential impact on bird mortality, with a goal of refiling the application.

The proposal from the Missouri-based developer called for 14 turbines in Osborn and another eight in Eastbrook, a wind farm to be known as Weaver Wind.

SunEdison’s application to the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) was accepted as complete at the end of January. A draft analysis of the project was issued in mid-June, in which the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (IF&W) raised concerns about bird fatalities it said could result from the proposed…

WISCONSIN: You may recall the Town of Forest v. Wisconsin PSC involving the Highland Wind project. In February 2013, Wisconsin's Public Service Commission denied a permit for the project due to noise concerns, but Emerging Energies (the developer) urged the commission to reopen the case, citing new technology that permitted the project owner to…

Chalk one up for the bald eagle. The avian symbol of American freedom has beaten…

The Pres gave a speech in Las Vegas at the National Clean Energy Summit and threw out a bunch of pure fiction.  Read it and see if you can't poke a few holes in it.

Governor of Maine Implores Legislature to Help Trim Power Prices

.....On the federal level, in May, Governor LePage testified before the U.S. House Energy and Commerce’s Subcommittee on Energy and Power in support of a bill to speed the permitting process and lower energy costs across our nation. The draft legislation aims to improve the permitting of interstate natural gas pipelines,…

In 2015, the Maine Legislature considered a diverse portfolio of energy and environmental bills related to energy efficiency, solar energy, wind permitting, land conservation, water quality, mining regulations, and many other topics. E2Tech is bringing policy, environmental, business, and legislative leaders together to discuss recent legislation and look ahead at interpretation and implementation…

I'm Jon Hinck, a MoveOn and Portland City Council member. Governor Paul LePage recently said he'd resign if enough of us Mainers spoke up. In his own words: "If the people of Maine don't want me, just ask me to leave."¹

Jon Hinck is an environmentalist, lawyer and politician. ... Between 2006 and 2012, Jon served in the Maine legislature as a State…

Honestly, nothing more need be said beyond the Headline.  The Legislature is dragging their feet and having trouble seeing that wind is not working, and is driving rates up and businesses and jobs out.  This is not just economic theory, but is economic FACT.  How can the people we elected be so obtuse?  (I love Shawshank Redemption)…

The staff for The PUC has made the recommendation that Emera NOT build the new transmission line through the County.  Building it would cost every Maine average ratepayer $34.07 a year more in transmission fees and would further drive more businesses out of the state.  Emera has not given up yet, but this is a step in the right direction.  No more rubber stamps for wind power.  …
