ISO-NE bullshits FERC.
"Data-driven processes" would necessarily exclude a 1200 megawatt, $2.2 billion dollar transmission line to allow an average 10% of wind energy output onto the grid at peak hours.
"As system needs and resource performance capabilities continue to evolve, it will be
critically important to balance cost and complexity of any contemplated market reforms or
operational enhancements with the economic…

Coal continues to fuel Asia, accounting for 83% of the world’s coal use, as domestic consumption grows alongside manufacturing and industrial production. China is the largest producer and consumer of coal, followed by India. Other Asian countries are also growing their economies with coal, including Indonesia and Vietnam. Vietnam has become a manufacturing powerhouse, driven by an electricity boom that has been growing at over 7% per…

"According to the lawsuit, filed Tuesday in US District Court in Boston, in “flagrant violation” of its contract with the utilities, Hydro-Quebec stopped delivering power over a 12-day stretch “as if it were free to act with impunity,” even though the utilities had to spend an additional $40 million for more expensive energy sources to keep the lights on and heat flowing in the Bay State."
"Hydro-Quebec roared back with an…

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/

Sign up today and lend your voice and presence to the steadily rising tide that will soon sweep the scourge of useless and wretched turbines from our beloved Maine countryside. For many of us, our little pieces of paradise have been hard won. Did the carpetbaggers think they could simply steal them from us?
We have the facts on our side. We have the truth on our side. All we need now is YOU.
