Boston Globe article on Maine jury's rule in favor of NECEC

By Mike Damiano Globe Staff, Updated April 20, 2023, 12:57 p.m.

A Maine jury ruled Thursday that construction can proceed on a transmission line that will carry clean, hydropower from Quebec to Massachusetts through the region’s power grid — bolstering efforts to shift the state’s electricity consumption away from carbon-emitting fossil fuels.

The decision in favor of Avangrid, the Connecticut company building the transmission line, overturns the result of a 2021 ballot…

Grid operators are sounding alarms about the increasing instability of US power grids

The near failure of the Texas power grid, coming just 4 minutes and 37 seconds from a complete collapse on February 14, 2021, was the first alarm bell that something was dreadfully wrong with US power grids. Meredith Angwin, a physical chemist and power grid specialist, described the February 2021 failure of the Texas power grid failure as a seminal event that was not a surprise: “Those of us who were watching the grid had noticed for years that Texas ran with a very low reserve margin…and…

NECEC Wins in Court!

Great news in Maine! Common sense prevailed in a UNANIMOUS court decision in favor of the New England Energy Connect (NECEC) line. A decision based on FACTS, not green ideology! This line would be delivering 1200 MW of hydroelectricity 24/7/365 to the ISO New England grid already if asinine opposition based on misinformation, outright lies and hatred of CMP hadn't thrown numerous roadblocks at a project that had played by the regulatory rules and earned all of the necessary…

Gas Prices on the Rise Again But This Time the Strategic Oil Reserves Are Empty

Gas prices are again on the rise under the Biden gang but this time they can’t use strategic oil reserves replenished by President Trump to keep the prices down.

Testimony to LD 1489

Chair Lawrence, Chair Zeigler and Honorable Persons of the EUT Committee

One thing I love about "wood to heat" and "wood to steam" and "wood to electricity" is that it is an abundant resource in Maine. 

Another thing I love about biomass electricity, it is only recognized as a renewable resource in the New England state of Maine. Biomass supplies 64.52% of the Class I renewable energy certificate purchases of the 128,942 certificates required by a law that is 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.
