Recently released by Marc Morano, this is a very easy to read and understand expose' of the weapons that have been leveled at REAL science by the enviros and their leftist, NWO backers. Since all this nonsense started 40 years ago, we have lost our standing in the world and have been caught up in an extraordinary spending of unneeded resources when we have all we need right here at home.

CO2 is not poison. CO2 levels are at very low levels but are increasing . . . . but the temperature is NOT rising. Those, folks,…

If anyone still doesn't believe that the media works for the wind industry, why is it that the Bangor Daily News has never published a story on this fire? We are two weeks away from beginning this wind turbine's tenth year of operation and there has never been an investigative piece in any of the Maine media exposing the total failure of the turbine, to say nothing of the cover up of its…

Before that, the globe was dominated by about 30 years of global cooling, giving rise in the 1970s to media discussions of the return of the Little Ice Age (circa 1450…

Google Caithness Windfarm Information Forum’s “windfarm accident reports” and “wind turbine fires” for data on turbine fires. The forum’s entries are derived from world media accounts because no government records turbine fires. Lack of official data enables wind power advocates to claim fires are rare. The forum reports …

But that’s what will be happening when the PUC reconsiders a power purchase agreement it signed in 2013 with Maine Aqua Ventus, a public-private partnership involving the…
