Letter to the Editor - Bangor Daily News

I would like to thank Professor Mark Anderson for his common-sense comments on America’s questionable and probably foolhardy gamble on wind power (“Dangers of rushing into the next clean energy fad,” BDN OpEd, March 29). Our elected officials should heed his words and work quickly to rescue Maine from its misguided wind policy before more of our state’s unique value is sacrificed for so little…

Yale invests in controversial Maine wind farm

Yale is notorious for keeping its endowment holdings confidential, but in early March, it did make public one long-suspected investment in a Maine wind farm.

The University joins the Department of Energy in investing in Record Hill Wind, which is building a wind farm project in Roxbury, Maine. University officials and the project’s developers say the wind farm will have economic and environmental benefits, but a…

Vermont taking advantage of cheaper Quebec power 

Several Vermont utilities have just signed long-term contracts with Hydro-Quebec to purchase up to 225 megawatts, nearly entirely (98 percent) generated from hydropower.

They will start in 2012 with a starting price of only 5.8 cents per kilowatt hour. This inexpensive electricity will serve approximately 200,000 homes.

The presidents of Central Vermont Public Service and Green Mountain Power said: "We…

Wind and solar energy subsidies are experiencing drastic cutbacks in many European nations and some places in the United…

A very quick look shows that no fewer than 16 Maine towns have been in the news over the past month with regard to wind ordinances.

As word gets out as to the true theft planned by the out of state interloping wind companies, it is likely that ordinances and moratoriums will become more commonplace.

If you believe your town officials are meeting secretly with wind companies, by all means speak with them and let them know your point of view. The…

Ann Hornaday reviews ‘Windfall’

 By Ann Hornaday, Friday, March 18, 9:20 PM

The next step will be "smart sockets" where this rent-seeking interloper from Spain, in part financed by the United Arab Emirates' Abu Dhabi National Energy Corporation and in part owned by Qatar, will simply turn off your air conditioning in the heat of the day because their wind turbines have stopped turning. Note that Iberdrola is the largest operator of wind-farms (subsidy harvesters) in the world and that they are working behind the scenes to have the law…
