MAINE, JUST SAY "NO" to the Snake Oil Industry called "Wind". KUDOS to wise Fort Fairfield!

Liars , Deceivers, Snake Oil Salesmen and the deceptive business practices of the Wind Industry will haunt this low feeding subsidy scam in Maine from now on.

The facts are being synthesized by  Mainers from earlier failed projects in the state.

After the facts are known , the answer to the " industry" is simple, JUST SAY "NO", loudly and forcefully.

Reduced property value, Noise impacts well beyond 1 mile, loss of…

Well said, Friends of Maine's Mountains

Before Maine's landscape is squandered for naught, it is hoped more citizens learn the consequences of failed energy policy and feel good wind power  , and then act to stop them soon!

Renewable Pipe Dreams and the Consequences . The Social Injustice of the" Green Dreamers"

Is Maine trying to emulate the green policies of California?

"Killing Maine" by Mike Bond (Maine is a corrupt dirty little state owned by the scoundrel wind companies and their political shills).

Maine is as cotrrupt as it gets in the 50 states.....A great read  and not a novel at all.

"Some of America’s most corrupt politicians can be found in the windswept wilds of Maine. The Pine Tree State rates next-to-last in citizens’ trust of their legislators according to the Gallup Poll (April 4, 2014), and the Center for Public Integrity gives the state an F for corruption. Maine politicians appropriate taxpayer funds for their own companies, while…

Windfarm Subsidies Canceled----in Australia ! Science and Economics Triumph!

Australia has slammed the door shut on any new government-funded investment in renewable energy schemes as Prime Minister Tony Abbott extends his “war on wind power”. The new directive banning investing in existing wind technology will also apply to small-scale solar projects. In doing so Mr Abbott has sent a clear message to the mendicant green renewable energy sector that there will be no more cheap state-supplied financing for its projects. The funding ban is just the latest salvo…

How Dare Bill Gates say this to the "Greenwashed". What does he know anyway?

This Century's Greatest Scam!

   Years ago,slick talking hucksters sold their useless product called snake oil which they claimed would cure most human ailments. As long as the liar could move on quickly to the next community before his products real impacts were known to the public,he might survive the noose .

The snake oil salesman has taken on a new form in this century,and they are called wind developers. The only thing saving them presently is the graft accepting politicians that feed their…

UNCENSORED comments from Arthur Qwenk RE: LD 828

Although certainly better than what was there before, l see more potential problems with LURC being involved .Whose f...ing state and constitution is it anyway?

That depends on the voice of citizens,too weak and disconnected as of late.

LURC will  merely become wind's graft target and whore,and become financially beholden to their scam. That is why the bastards , in the final moments ,tried and succeeded in amending it in…

Japan says wind is too unstable and costly and lowers its future use at G7 Meeting

"Solar and wind power generation are too unstable and costly to provide more than marginal power generation capacity, especially given the need to extend power grids from major cities like Tokyo to more remote areas considered most suitable for wind power, he says."

Maine's PUC NEEDS California's E3 or, Dr. Williamson, Please Step Forward!

"The Sierra Club is upset because the California Public Utilities Commission (PUC) built a sophisticated and unbiased computer model to analyze the cost-effectiveness of new solar policy proposals. But despite all the Sierra Club’s political clout, the computer model determined is that none of the solar policy proposals are cost effective.

After years of paying about a $200 premium to buy any and all excess electrical power streaming from home and commercial building rooftop solar…

The PUC MUST Represent the Public Interest, Not the Shills of Wind in Maine

Mainers could start to benefit from real competition in the electricity market .

The subsidized high cost lies from the wind lobby and the lying sleazeballs of "Enronesque" First Wind would soon be under  close PUC analysis.

If  soon to be data wonk in the Maine PUC, Dr. Bruce Williamson, runs the numbers on wind energy as a PUC commissioner, look out Big Wind in Maine!

First Wind and the wind lobby never can stand close scrutiny based on facts and cost benefit…

Why Williamson is seen as a political threat by the Dems in Maine; Why confirmation may be very difficult.

Paid off  wind shills, political self - servers  and paid off enviro-groups like NRCM  made the law, PL-661 (The Expedited Wind Law of 2008).

The damage has festered and grown for years now.

Damage has been inflicted  to  legal process , to Maine's environment and to the citizenry , for next to naught in benefit.

This "lie", called a legislative emergency bill, PL-661, was the take over by wind corporate interests and unctuous self-serving political…

Crackdown on Wind Power Underway in the UK !

It is time for this to happen in Maine too1

"LOCAL residents will be able to block all future onshore wind farms under new measures to be fast-tracked into law, the new energy secretary has announced.

Amber Rudd revealed she had “put a rocket” under her officials to “put the local community back in charge” of their own neighbourhoods.

In an interview with The Sunday Times she also said the Tory government…

LD-1329 is a solution to the problem, or the state's motto will become:

"MAINE, A GREAT STATE TO LEAVE"

If the wind rush in Maine is not stopped and its  resultant build out  for peak power transmission lines not halted by  Mainers and the PUC, the state's new motto will indeed become the above.

It will become cost-prohibitive for business to live there, and for many residents  to pay their electric bills.

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/
