Giant windmills all hot air

"...Electricity produced by onshore wind costs twice as much as conventional gas-fired electricity generation; offshore wind three times as much. The only reason the wind industry is viable is because of the massive subsidies it receives. Subsidies raised silently from your energy bill...

In listing Baldacci's supposed accomplishments, David Farmer somehow omits Baldacci's expedited wind law which is one of the most transformative pieces of land use legislation ever enacted in the state's history.

Bill introduced to ban non-disclosure clauses (Ontario)

He said if a landowner chooses to have an industrial wind turbine on their property, and “you start to encounter any type of . . . health problems, due noise or vibration or suddenly your well goes bad, because of pile driving or so on, the non-disclosure agreement says to people, you can't complain to anybody other than you take it back to the wind turbine company.”

He said the non-disclosure agreements are done intentionally to prevent residents from talking to third-parties about…

Unstoppable Change, Stasis, and Climatism

By Charles Battig -- April 24, 2018
“Thousands of years of climate adaptation by untold numbers of biological species is now viewed by climate alarmists as an obsolete process, as they assume that the global climate environment has reached its ultimate optimum state of ‘now’.”

The people of Iowa are losing their property rights by intrusion of Corporate Industrial Wind

We live in rural Iowa where Mid American Energy is trying to develop a large area of our crop lands into industrial wind generating facilities.  The citizens of Palo Alto County here in Iowa have an active lawsuit against Mid American Energy and a lawsuit against the County Board of Supervisors.  These lawsuits are based on violations of our Iowa Laws.  The citizens do not want wind energy taking over our land for the Tax Incentives that they eat like candy.

There is now a gofundme…

Who Is Paying Off The BDN? Earth Day Editorial

What enviro group is paying off the BDN for publishing such unbelievable drivel? Possibly the Putin driven donations to the leftists and environmental groups like The Audubon Society and The Sierra Club? Yes folks, these groups have been sold out to not protecting the environment and the beautiful birds they were organized to do, but have taken on causes that are extremely UN-American and even Communist in their leaning. One of the beliefs all these organizations have in common is a belief…

The Swamp Wants You

I open my monthly electric bill yesterday, which I still get by snail mail, and an insert is included asking for "SUPPORT MAINE-MADE RENEWABLE ENERGY " by buying "blocks of energy"

The fine print at the bottom of the page :
 " If the weighted average of Maine-located RECs is greater than $6.50/REC, then REC supply may be procured from NEPOOL-registered resources outside of Maine. If the weighted average price of program-eligible, NEPOOL-located RECs is…

PUTIN FUNDS AMERICA’S ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT

PUTIN FUNDS AMERICA’S ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT

With all the attention being paid to Russian “collusion” these days, it is remarkable that there has been so much focus on Facebook ads while far more serious meddling by Vladimir Putin goes mostly unremarked. In particular, Russia’s subsidizing of U.S. environmental groups, specifically those who oppose development of U.S. energy resources by blocking fracking and…

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.

Hannah Pingree on the Maine expedited wind law

Hannah Pingree - Director of Maine's Office of Innovation and the Future

"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.
