It's Time to Get Real About Getting Maine Out of the ISO-NE Network

South Portland, a very liberal city, has been counseled to go green even if it means having the power system go down. You can now bet that ISO-NE will keep the power grid operating for everyone in New England but Maine duringt rolling blackouts.
In Maine, South Portland’s council rejects a power…

Smith: Renewable power industry exploits poorest towns

Dear Senate Finance Committee,

I need to respond to something Sen. Becca White was quoted as saying in this evening’s WCAX coverage of S.236.

She says lower-income communities are disproportionately selected for these projects as a result of the argument. “Essentially forces renewable energy to go into communities that might not have the financial ability to make the case that something is…

Ratepayers'' Plea to Democrats to Stop the Illegitimate Madness.

After all is said and done, the democrat legislators of Maine DO have an energy plan against the people of this state. One part of the plan that is obvious, the house, and senate democrats have always fully intended to penalize electricity consumers in Maine for something not even remotely the customer's fault, the climate. Well, we the people do breathe and exhaust a certain amount…

"Climate Change" to "Climate Transition" to "Populist Transition"

Have you noticed the "climate change" narrative has quietly become the "climate transition" narrative? It's as if the hundreds of billions of dollars ripped from the pockets of working Americans has gone from wasted money to winning the fight against "climate change". Obviously, this scam is now thoroughly exposed for what it is. It's not the climate. It is redistribution of wealth, enriching the elite, protecting the growth of the administrative state, and the indoctrination of the…

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/
