Wind Industry Declares today via LD 1329 "Why worry about Decommissioning of wind projects because.....

Once they get the permit and build on the mountains, the mountains are theirs!

The project  is Forever! Old 400ft  turbines will be replaced by bigger ones in the future.

The testimony for LD 1329 clearly determined this (listen to the testimony please).

Maine  WILL be their playground, in perpetuity!

Well folks, they sure have plans for Maine don't…

Mainers should start to benefit from real competition in the electricity market .

Property Rights and a Big Wind fight in Ohio...We are not alone!

An effort by opponents to stop a proposed Ohio wind farm, which includes a legally questionable maneuver to prevent property owners from granting variances, has the support of the state legislature’s most outspoken critic of renewable energy."

How "Green $$$$ Legislation" made its way through Augusta in 2008- PL-661

Paid off  wind shills, political self - servers  and paid off enviro-groups like NRCM  made the law, PL-661 (The Expedited Wind Law of 2008).

The damage has festered and grown for years now.

Damage has been inflicted  to  legal process , to Maine's environment and to the citizenry , for next to naught in benefit.

This "lie", called a legislative emergency bill, PL-661, was the take over by wind corporate interests and unctuous self-serving political…

Spain Rules Maine!

Why?

Because graft and collusion in the Maine legislature as it relates to wind power corruption and collusion was allowed and legislated in 2008 by PL-661, by the Baldacci clan et al.

Pl-661 should be…

Private Investigators in Maine hired by Citizens' Anti-Wind Groups

Remember folks,the modus operandi and "business plan" of wind companies has not changed in Maine since the inception of PL-661 in 2008 (Expedited Wind Law).

The law was designed by big wind and numerous self-serving unctuous politicians (think Angus King)  and  deceptive "enviro"lawyers  to destroy Mainers' constitutional  and  property rights and to enable their scheme. Other ignorant or ill-informed politicians at the time "assumed" the benefits of Industrial Wind (there has never…

Of Greed, Collusion, Corruption and Bribery

After years of dealing with the wind issue, I can say with sadness that Maine is a very dirty little state, politically.

It is a shame how unctuous political elites have manipulated the legislative process as it concerns the wind scam. 

Governor LePage should immediately place a halt to all further wind projects until  detailed cost/benefit analysis is undertaken of the wind industry in Maine.

In addition , an ethical "audit" should be initiated by the…

Wind Companies Desire "Certainty"?

Any individual or business knows these two facts......

There are only 2 certainties in life.......

Death and Taxes...(and all should minimize the later to the full extent allowed by law).

Legitimate businesses know this .

These Wind Scoundrels do not use a legitimate business model, and never have. They lie and deceive as their modus operandi and utilize quasi legitimate and legally questionable hedging schemes for…

Concerning Friends of Maines Mountains v AG of Maine, Wind hack, JaNET Mills



Mills is a highly biased democrat party AG appointee and strong pro-wind advocate. 

This would appear to be biased political payback for the appointment of LePage's general council Carlie Mclean to the PUC who recently helped cause a new unbiased look at wind power contracts to occur in Maine.

Maine is a dirty little state politically. She forces a small organization she dislikes to be held to the highest…

Maine is Being Ripped up by a new Wall Street Derivatives Scheme called the " Yieldco"

Is This what "Green Power" really means to some Maine high level politicians and,

How long will Mainers allow themselves to be taken by   "the Yieldco"?

Well, the wind scam's   only future may indeed be  "In Yieldcos", but trust me, they  will always  try  to lower their  financial  risk by screwing the Initial Public Offering investor .

Who First Wind is, (down to the basics )

First Wind et al is comprised of a cadre of well connected subsidy seeking liars, who deceive and pervert the permitting process for their own ends.

They deserve to be removed from Maine's permitting process as contenders for any other projects in Maine.  

This was a good wake up call for the industry as well. They have everything on their side except the truth, 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/
