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…

"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.
Building more buried non-visible natural gas lines in…

Once they get the permit and build on the mountains, the mountains are theirs!
The project is Forever! Old 400ft turbines will be replaced by bigger ones in the future.
The testimony for LD 1329 clearly determined this (listen to the testimony please).
Maine WILL be their playground, in perpetuity!
Well folks, they sure have plans for Maine don't…

Spain Rules Maine!
Why?
Because graft and collusion in the Maine legislature as it relates to wind power corruption and collusion was allowed and legislated in 2008 by PL-661, by the Baldacci clan et al.

Remember folks,the modus operandi and "business plan" of wind companies has not changed in Maine since the inception of PL-661 in 2008 (Expedited Wind Law).
The law was designed by big wind and numerous self-serving unctuous politicians (think Angus King) and deceptive "enviro"lawyers to destroy Mainers' constitutional and property rights and to enable their scheme. Other ignorant or ill-informed politicians at the time "assumed" the benefits of Industrial Wind (there has never…

After years of dealing with the wind issue, I can say with sadness that Maine is a very dirty little state, politically.
It is a shame how unctuous political elites have manipulated the legislative process as it concerns the wind scam.
Governor LePage should immediately place a halt to all further wind projects until detailed cost/benefit analysis is undertaken of the wind industry in Maine.
In addition , an ethical "audit" should be initiated by the…

Mills is a highly biased democrat party AG appointee and strong pro-wind advocate.
This would appear to be biased political payback for the appointment of LePage's general council Carlie Mclean to the PUC who recently helped cause a new unbiased look at wind power contracts to occur in Maine.
Maine is a dirty little state politically. She forces a small organization she dislikes to be held to the highest…

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/
