U.S. Senate Hopeful Angus King asks "Where's Molly"?

Angus King lectures the unwashed commoner that if we don't allow his feckless wind turbines to destroy our Gardens of Eden in Maine, we are contributing to global warming.

We have of course proven this 100% false. The turbines displace virtually no CO2.

But take a look at Angus's 40" RV that guzzles gas like no other.

Its name is Molly.

But perhaps a better name would be the "Do…

BREAKING NEWS...Decision by Maine Superior Court pleases wind turbine farm neighbors on Vinalhaven

3/23/12

Today, Maine Superior Court ruled in favor of neighbors and against the state DEP and wind turbine operator, Fox Islands Wind. The state agency and FIW seek to invalidate a lengthy and costly effort by neighbors to obtain regulatory enforcement of state noise standards in the case of violations by the wind turbine farm operator on Vinahaven. The Court…

I wonder whether this will also finally get some sunlight on the mysterious Delaware registered highly secretive partner of King's in this deal - "Bayroot", perhaps named after the college drinking game of same name. Of course that just might make sense as after a couple years or so it was finally revealed who this company was - the ultra well endowed Yale University Endowment Fund.…

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/
