Who Knew the Maine Legislators Are Certain That Solar Developers Struggle More Than Ratepayers

LIAP helps qualified low-income electricity consumers pay for electricity costs and eligibility can be determined by local Community Action Agencies or through means-testing for DHHS programs. Those who qualify will receive a credit on their electric bill based on income and electricity usage.
 

"Not only does this increase the number of customers eligible to receive assistance, but it will…

Green Groups Are No Longer Promoting a Cleaner Environment

This is not news for long time observers of the wind power fight in Maine. These whorish groups have sold out, just like their presstitute counterparts in the mainstream media. Getting paid by the highest bidders in exchange for one's seal of approval is as lucrative as it is shameless.

BY JAKE FREUDBERG MORNING SENTINEL

EXCERPTS

MOSCOW — Residents at a special town meeting Thursday voted to prohibit commercial solar farms, opting to go a step further than many other towns in central Maine when it comes to restricting the development of large solar projects.

Moscow joins a growing list of Maine municipalities that have passed measures limiting or temporarily prohibiting solar farms. But it is unclear if…

Data Suggests Wealthy Elites Most Responsible for Alleged Climate Change

The wealthy elites pushing the climate agenda are facing rounds of criticism online, after a video emerged showing their private jets frozen on a runway in Munich allegedly as some were heading to a climate change summit currently being held in Dubai. This happens as new data suggests the richest one percent in the world generate as much carbon emissions as the poorest two-thirds of the world’s population combined. And this is sparking a broader debate on why it seems the…

Lindsay Graham And Orphans To The Frontlines.

The young man pictured in the insert is a seventeen-year-old orphan who was conscripted into the Ukrainian army under their revised mobilization scheme. He was supposed to be deployed to the rear to assist with noncombat operations. Due in part to Ukraine's dire situation with shortages of manpower, he was deployed to an active frontline position where he was killed shortly after arriving. Please remember, this war did not have to happen. Without the US and…

Inflation Is Rampant In Elite Education - It's Not What You Think.

I guess all those brilliant minds coming out of Harvard, Yale and the rest of our heralded ivory towers have been living in la la land when it comes to their actual performance. Say hello to grade inflation. Grade inflation has been going on for a while, so the current generation of graduates (and maybe beyond) should come with an asterisk - kinda like baseball players during the steriod era when home runs were flying out of ballparks at alarming rates due to the "juice". Now we learn that…

Just Admit You Were Wrong Peggy Noonan

December 3, 2023

Authored by Jeffrey Tucker via DailyReckoning.com

The answer to the question “Will they ever admit to being wrong?” is of course: no. I’m speaking in particular of the architects of the lockdown and mandate policies that wrecked the rights and liberties of billions worldwide.

Now they want to pretend like it never happened or that someone else is responsible. And they do…

EV's - The Existential Threat Hits Home

December 2, 2023

Nearly 4,000 Ford dealers have publicly pushed back against the push to cram EVs down their (and our) throats. This is good news – in the same way that it was good news when people began to refuse to take the drugs being pushed on them as “vaccines.”

But the dealers – let alone the car manufacturers – haven’t yet pushed back against the predicate for the pushing.

Against the lie that it is necessary to push people into EVs – that is, to use EVs to push…

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/
