In 2017, EIS, the Energy Information Administration, changed its reporting requirements, for renewable energy projects.  Many of Maine’s wind projects that previously provided monthly reports are now only required to file an annual report. The final (revised) 2016 data was made available On March 9. 2018.  Here are the regs provided to me by EIA when I inquired about the change:…

Crushing the Global Warming Cult at the EPA

President Trump struck an amazing blow for science and truth by appointing Scott Pruitt to be the new head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). By all accounts, under Mr. Pruitt's leadership, morale has never been lower among the EPA's 50,000 federal bureaucrats. This is a good thing for America, because the EPA has been a uniquely bizarre federal entity…

The willingness of environmental activists and their elected and appointed allies to ignore the drumbeat of bad news about the security and costs of the region’s energy supplies is a stunning abdication of responsibility for sound public policies to protect both the environment and the economy.......

Many recent events are being ignored by activists who are focused on absolute outcomes rather than a prudent transition. For example:…

Kevin M. O’Connor, once sat with me in his boardroom in the middle of the financial crisis of 2007 to 2008 and said, “As long as we have that ocean out there,” – as he pointed toward the ocean— “the East End of Long Island will always be a great place to live and own a home.”

 I haven't told many people about this, but I was extensively interviewed for this wind energy article published in Audubon Magazine. Over a period of months I was providing information to Ted Williams. I was first contacted on 11/24/2013 and I sent my last email with vital information regarding the wind industry's fraudulent research on 2/11/2014.                                                                                                                                                 …

The more you have of them , the more these machines will break down.  Windmills and the current wind turbines break down  with regularity. There is no getting around this as long as gravity and friction exists . You cannot thwart the  science of basic earthly physical principals. Can you imagine having turbines in an ocean environment?

Turbines are and never will be as trouble free  as say, a flat monocrystalline solar panel. In either case, wind turbines and solar panels are LOW…

" It's an electrical system, so unless we can know that there's no electrical charge or current or supply within that system, putting water on it is probably not a good choice. The other thing is, those units are just a whole lot of plastic and poly and electric wire, it's just a big generator really. So there really isn't, even if you could reach it, a whole…

DARK SIDE OF "GREEN": WIND TURBINE NOISE, FIRES, ACCIDENTS, INJURIES, AND FATALITIES RAISE SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS NEAR RESIDENTIAL HOMES

Hanover, Massachusetts, Oklahoma and Presque Isle, Maine have all seen dramatic wind turbine fires in the last few weeks.

The obvious challenge facing firefighters is the height involved if a fire occurs in the turbine motor.

Due to the risk of falling fire debris over a wide area, approaching a burning turbine ...is…

Massachusetts legislators are again pushing wind through bills that eliminate and erode obstacles, public and environmental laws that protect us, to gain unlimited development and profit potential for gov picked wind turbines.  There will be no public debate.  

The State leans on the Wind Noise Impact Study findings of 2012  This study was a review of literature by the state appointed body of experts and advocates of wind. The state refused to provide a seat on the noise panel to…

“Judge Alsup started quietly. He flattered the plaintiffs’ first witness, Oxford physicist Myles Allen.” Judge Alsup called this physicist from Oxford a genius. He set him up. This guy’s standing there feeling his oats, he’s a genius, climate science genius, judge knows it. But then the judge reprimanded this physicist “for using a misleading illustration to represent carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and a graph ostensibly about temperature rise that did not actually show rising…

The state of Maine should require that every customer at a real estate agency selling properties anywhere that wind projects are allowable be given a brochure on "Wind Turbines and Property Values". I suppose it could present both sides of the argument and include the wind developers' bald faced lies, but such a brochure would at least get people thinking. In a state where the media constantly lie on behalf of this industry, we need to do everything we can do to get the truth out. By the…

After last month's public hearing, the original LD 1810, introduced by Governor Paul LePage thanks to Representative Joel Stetkis, was drastically overhauled in committee. Unfortunately, the House didn't even debate the minority report; they just voted to kill the bill outright. 

This minority report of the committee simply would have given the DEP a little bit more opportunity to request a Visual Impact Assessment (VIA) when a wind project is proposed close to a Scenic Resource of…

The Department of Environmental Protection has scheduled a pre-adoption meeting on its proposed Chapter 382: Wind…

Cylde MacDonald, a longtime aide to US Senator Mitchell and Muskie in Maine spoke directly to this issue .He was extremely insightful . Buying a fire engine for the affected towns or localities these industrial wind complexes dominate, is not the answer. DEP must immediately review all regulations for permitting on this issue before even the thought of a new development is considered. Gov. LePage is so right to review and potentially expunge by the moratorium review…

DARK SIDE OF "GREEN": WIND TURBINE NOISE, FIRES, ACCIDENTS, INJURIES, AND FATALITIES RAISE SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS NEAR RESIDENTIAL HOMES

I post criticisms of the wind industry in Maine regularly on my Face Book page and they get nominal shares and comments.  On April 2, I posted this comment and the photo.  In less than 24 hours, this has been shared more than 260 times and my particular post has received 106 "reactions".  Wind Warriors, the sensationalism of a turbine fire gets people's attention, so if you are using social media--send out the criticism of the wind power farce while we have people's…

Not thrilled with the overwhelming focus on "views' since they are subjective and arguable; but the fire provides an opportunity to make substantial changes to the Standards to include:

o D. Notification of turbine failure. The licensee must notify the Department in writing within two (one) business days of any turbine failure or other incident that the licensee anticipates will result in a turbine being off-line…
