"There are two core areas where the utility would be a leader on the green transition: (1) electrifying transportation and (2) upgrading buildings from oil and gas to electricity and increasing efficiency."

The PUC shows its hands, finally.
After all the BS the PUC dished out claiming the LS Power project's approval hinged on the benefits to MAINE ratepayers as it wrote clearly in the original request for proposals. A billion dollars later, it claims its hands are tied. This gutless tactic is why government is no…

We recently purchased a property that is directly affected by one of the proposed routes of the
Aroostook Renewable Gateway project. We did not and still have not received ANY information
about this project from LS Power directly, we only know about this because of chatter in local
community forums.
Our affected property is largely protected wetlands, marshland, and protected watershed, old
growth forest, with incredible ancient trees, and the property itself also has…

I am writing to request that LS Power Grid Maine not be granted a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for the Aroostook Renewable Gateway. My understanding is the PUC needs to consider various factors including nontransmission alternatives, public health and safety, scenic, historic and recreational values as well as how close the lines will be to homes. LSPGM has not provided any evidence of these considerations in establishing their routes nor have they engaged…

"The vast swaths of pine, spruce and larch forest that blanket much of Canada have been prized for generations. Not only do they provide a home to hundreds of species – including some of the most threatened in the country – but they also absorb more greenhouse gases than they emit, acting as a huge carbon…

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…

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.
