Maine PUC: "Aroostook costs would be offset by the projects’ economic and environmental advantages" (PROVE IT!!!!)

September 26, 2023

BY STEPHEN SINGER STAFF WRITER

EXCERPTS

.....A land-based wind project bringing power from northern Maine to ISO-New England, the region’s grid operator, has been moving ahead of offshore floating wind projects in the regulatory process.

The planned Aroostook Renewable Gateway project will consist of single-circuit and double-circuit 345 kV transmission lines and substations that will deliver 1,200…

2 Year, $15 million from taxpayers going to pay electric bills (for some)

Electric bills are very high.

A good portion of that increase is due to legislative actions granting wind, solar and battery projects premium payments for their cruddy power received directly from the ratepayers. NOTE: The actual cost is hidden from disclosure on monthly bills = NO TRANSPARENCY!!!

Intended consequences always included jacking up rates from these renewable programs to allocate to non-paying electric customers…

Democrats Worried They Can't Cheat Enough To Beat Trump

The inside baseball on the coming election is getting dire for the Democrats. President Trump's mounting lead (ABC poll +10 pts.) over Joe Biden is causing massive heartburn for their election stealing machine we witnessed in 2020.

BDN - Aroostook wind megaproject is 1st in Maine to need legislative approval

by Lori Valigra

September 25, 2023

EXCERPTS

Doug Mulvey and his company, LS Power, wanted to minimize the risk of their multi-billion-dollar bid for a 160-mile transmission line that would bring wind power through Aroostook County and onto the New England grid.

So they asked the Maine Legislature in March to approve the project, and by June they received it. The approval was required…

Justin Trudeau’s Speaker of the House, Anthony Rota, invited a 98-year-old Nazi SS officer to Parliament on Friday, and celebrated him as a hero.

Tucker Carlson: "The stakes have suddenly gotten so high that smart people are rethinking their assumptions"

"I see people all around me asking themselves, “I used to believe this. Is it still true? Was it ever true? What is the truth?” People are focused on questions of truth and falsehood, I think, much more deeply than they ever have been, and that's a good thing."

The Evolution of the American Police State

September 20, 2023

By Steve McCann

With the unconscionable persecution of the January 6th protesters, the unabashed government censorship of speech, the weaponization of federal intelligence and law enforcement agencies, and the egregious abuse of presidential executive orders and emergency declarations, the American police state is no longer a hypothetical possibility but an increasingly indisputable reality.

While imperceptibly evolving over many decades, the emergence…

Pull Back the Curtain on False Federal Narratives

By Deane Waldman, M.D.

Narrative is a “a representation of a particular situation or process in such a way as to reflect or conform to an overarching set of aims, goals, themes, or values.” A narrative is a story – actual, distorted, even fabricated – created to convince others of narrator’s position or to justify narrator’s action.

Progressive-dominated Washington, aided and abetted by complicit…

China Says.... "Good Luck With Your Green New Deal"

As anyone paying attention to China's energy development can see, their not going to comply with the draconian measures being forced on the US, the EU and other woke nations by the globalist climate zealots and their lapdogs in goverment. China (CCP) is building a large fleet of new coal plants, investing heavily in nuclear power and effectively telling the folks behind the IPCC to take a hike.

Recently, the CCP made an emphatic public statement to that effect. Here's the report via…

JPMorgan says the coming energy crisis may be worse than what Europe experienced - lifts global energy stocks rating to overweight

JPMorgan lifts global energy stocks rating to overweight

The analysts do not share the peak demand fears, at least on its investment horizon that runs through 2030, saying the clean energy system is not mature enough to capture and distribute to end customers. “As a result, this places greater pressure on traditional fuels to fill the gap and meet rising EM-led demand growth. However, without increasing oil and gas capex, we risk energy deficits and acute…

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.
