The generators further argued that, should the project go forward, “it will impede the development of alternative renewable energy projects in Maine, such as solar and onshore and offshore wind farms, for the foreseeable future. This result would be contrary to Maine’s statutory policy favoring the use of ‘renewable, efficient and indigenous resources.’”…

Right off the bat, merely looking at this report's title, who are we to determine what's high value wildlife, and therefore by implication, what's low value wildlife?

December 2013 Report: Wind Power and Wildlife in Maine: A State-wide Geographic Analysis of High-Value Wildlife Resources and Wind Power Classes

 Besides the hidden wind energy slaughter to tens of thousands of eagles taking place, there is another great lie being told by wind industry research and it may be the biggest of all this industry’s lies. It is the hidden slaughter taking place to nocturnal migrants.

Yesterday I posted some proof of this hidden turbine slaughter that has been taking place. Today I will post even more proof. As you read through this post, I want everyone to think about a number of…

Three companies with a stake in Maine's generating capacity fear subsidized energy from Canada could upend the electric market.

New opposition is ramping up to Central Maine Power’s proposal to build a 145-mile transmission line through western Maine, coming from interests who own fossil-fuel power plants in the state, as well as those who want to build wind and solar farms.

But bird deaths are a byproduct of wind energy. The American Bird Conservancy estimates that “hundreds of thousands of birds and bats die every year” from accidentally running into spinning turbine blades.

The power lines and towers that carry wind electricity to the grid kill an additional 8 million to 57 million birds a year.…

Dispatchable, on-demand power such as Hydro-Quebec is offering to New England and Maine appears to be the best big solution to Maine’s perennial search for an affordable energy supply.

Every vote that would either delay, derail or kill this bill before it could be referred to committee and brought forth for House and Senate vote was resoundingly and unanimously approved by the democrats and democrats only.…

We need to watch this!

As the Green Lobby continues to lobby Westminster politicians on renewable energy, insisting that onshore wind is now “so cheap it could go subsidy free”, one brave renewables firm has proven them wrong — …

Trying to pin down the arguments of wind promoters is a bit like trying to grab a greased balloon. Just when you think you’ve got a handle on it, it morphs into a different story and escapes your grasp. Let’s take a quick highlight review of how things have evolved with merchandising industrial wind energy.…

There are many problems with what NOAA is doing. The first is that they are turning an 80 year cooling trend into a warming trend, which has massive implications for both climate scientists, journalists, voters and policy makers who depend on the accuracy of their work. The second problem is that they release graphs with no annotation that the data has been altered – people assume that the data is representative of the thermometer record, and it isn’t. The third problem is that they are…

Eagles forced live with wind turbines always die. The risk factor is 100% and despite all the fraudulent research that states otherwise, there are no exceptions. Notice that the dead eagle in the image has been…

The bizarre issue of climate catastrophism has been around sufficiently long that it

has become possible to trace its history in detail, and, indeed, several excellent recent

books do this, placing the issue in the context of a variety of environmental,

economic and political trends. Darwall’s Green Tyranny: Exposing the Totalitarian Roots

of the Climate Industrial Complex and Lewin’s Searching for the Catastrophe Signal: The

Origins of The Intergovernmental Panel on…

There's finally audio. JUST started at 2:48PM.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've been tuned in with speakers on since 1:00PM and there is still no audio. Perhaps the meeting has not started. Keep your speakers on and when they start, the meeting should be audible.

Whereas the groups of Mainers fighting wind power's destruction of the state's rural areas are but loosely knit ragtag groups of concerned citizens using their own scarce money and time to do battle, the environmental groups are a different story. These are highly organized groups with large staffs of salaried employees who are paid to fight those opposing wind. While certainly these groups receive contributions from well intentioned small donors, some of these groups may receive funding…
