Corinth voters will decide whether the town should adopt a solar development moratorium and allow a medical cannabis store to open on Main Street during the annual town meeting later this month.
The temporary ban of commercial solar developments is designed to give the town 180 days — roughly 6 months — to draft rules and regulations for future commercial solar developments to protect residents’ quality of…

Proponents of a referendum question to replace CMP and Versant with a nonprofit power company won a court victory over the wording of the question on Thursday
In drafting the referendum, Maine's Secretary of State described the proposed power company as “quasi-governmental." But several supporters challenged that description.…

I'm not sure at all as to what to think about this article, so I'm just posting it without any real opinion.
That said, we have long thought that Maine's status as the most forested state, along with its relatively low population, dwarfed any effect on CO2 which the fraudulent wind industry claimed would result from wind power. This was detailed here, well over 10 years ago:…

Residents in the northern parts of the state stand to incur the highest costs.............. But if all 750 community solar farms under development in Maine come online by 2024, they are estimated to cost ratepayers more than $270 million per year, according to the Maine Office of the Public Advocate, which represents consumers. That’s more than $330 per year, on average, for customers of Versant Power and Central Maine…

More benefits? That implies there already are benefits when any honest person who has observed wind power in Maine knows that there are none. Just one disaster after another. I guess if we consider the banks hosting offshore accounts and the corrupt politicians who store their bribery proceeds in those accounts....well they benefit, although hopefully they one day pay the price for their crimes.
What "benefit" could possibly compensate for the destruction of…

Dead whales keep washing up on the U.S. Atlantic coast. A coalition of wind opponents, environmentalists and conservatives are blaming offshore wind.
The offshore wind industry has a 40-ton problem on its hands.
Since early December, close to two dozen large whales have washed up on or near beaches on the U.S. Atlantic coast, and about a third of the so-called…

An elderly woman whom I met during the campaign season recognized me as I stood at her door. Before I could even begin my introduction, tears welled up in her eyes. At over 70 years old, she told me she had to ask for heating assistance.
For the first time in her life, she said she could not provide for herself. It obviously shattered her as someone who prided herself as an independent woman, and the stress of just paying for…

Scottish Daily Record|John Ferguson|February 5, 2023
ozens of giant turbines on Scotland’s windfarms have been powered by diesel generators, the Sunday Mail can reveal. Scottish Power admitted 71 of its windmills were hooked up to the fossil fuel supply after a fault developed on the grid.
The firm said it was forced to act in order to keep the turbines warm during very cold weather in December. But a whistleblower…

The past year has been eventful for oil.
Markets have been volatile, moving up sharply to $120 per barrel, then retreating later in the year back to the $70 range before recovering to $80 in January. Price aside, oil is perhaps the most broadly utilized commodity in the world, driving strategic outcomes and responsive to others.…

On a bright fall day, Maine Department of Transportation Commissioner Bruce Van Note is standing on a pile of rocks sticking out into Penobscot Bay.
“We’re at the end of the jetty on Sears Island as part of a process to figure out whether and where Maine can build a wind port to create clean renewable energy and fight climate change,” he says. ”So that’s what this is all about, that’s the big picture.”

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/
