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.  …

SunEdison's House of Cards Is Starting to Crumble

Falling stock prices and rising interest rates are making SunEdison a tough bet for investors.…

Moosehead Lake is simply astounding, truly a natural treasure. The iconic Mt. Kineo rises dramatically from the vast lake. The view from the top encompasses the blue water surrounded by verdant forest and the ancient Appalachian Mountains. Enjoy the vistas in this video, then envision the lake encircled with 50 story wind turbines on every available ridge. Please speak out against the destruction of this unique region that deserves national park status, not industrial wasteland…

I wish all the legislators and congresspeople would read these and believe what they say.  It is VERY revealing.

OPINION:

I would like it if wind bloggers learn how to preview and proofread before hitting "PUBLISH POST"  multiple times on a single article.

I don't get my email on a cellphone so my anger quotient isn't as high as those who do... but there have been days I've logged in…
