The 20-year agreement requires CMP to buy electricity from an experimental floating wind turbine off the Maine coast.

Maine regulators approved a power contract with the experimental offshore wind project led by the University of Maine, an essential next step in the project’s development.

The 20-year power-purchase agreement requires Central Maine Power to buy electricity produced by a floating wind power project built by a partnership between the Maine Aqua Ventus consortium…

A Canadian investment firm has acquired the roughly $150 million Weaver Wind project in Hancock County and intends to begin installing turbines on the state’s newest wind farm in February.

The land-based wind farm project, which has been in planning stages for five years, is scheduled to be up and running by October 2020. It will comprise 22 turbines and is expected to produce 72.6 megawatts of wind energy, enough to power 15,000 to 20,000 Maine homes annually. The…

The Trump administration formally filed the paperwork Monday to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord, the first day it legally could take the step.

Not exactly sure who the other named partner is - DNV GL. But from their website, it would appear that they are headquartered in Norway.

Bowling for subsidies continued. So long as there is an endless supply of ratepayers who have been hoodwinked by the media to believe wind power is a viable and necessary electricity source, there will be an endless supply of hucksters looking to take advantage. Why is nuclear power almost never mentioned by the media? Why are the true costs of wind power almost never mentioned by the media? Did a university ever see an opportunity for grant money it didn't like?

Note that the…

For me, a very interesting look into today's college students and how they think. Particularly interesting is the second half, where at about the 31 minute mark the reporter attempts a conversation with the college's "Environmental Justice" group. The reporter stays composed throughout and patiently hangs in there, eventually demonstrating it's possible to have a productive discourse, even when people disagree. These are young kids, most of them seemingly good kids. It's probably a good bet…

The more you look, the more you find.   Even out energy siting require wind farms to have Environmental impact statements.

Big bucks....windturbines catch fire don't they?

Ignoring these costs is simply Rigged Game 101.

(1) Transmission costs are much higher than those of other types of electricity, but they are not charged back to wind and solar in most studies.

(2) With increased long distance electricity transmission, there is a need for increased maintenance of transmission lines. If this is not performed adequately, fires are likely, especially in dry, windy areas.

(3) A huge investment in charging stations…
