North Carolina's beleaguered wind industry is heading for collapse should S.B. 377 become law.

A similar moratorium was put in place under former Maine Gov. Paul LePage, R, and though it was lifted a year later, renewable energy advocates said development in the state was noticeably stalled. North Carolina would be the…

NORTHEAST SEAPORTS ARE inadequate to meet the needs of the offshore wind industry, and ideas for filling that gap could create tension between the sometimes competing goals of those overseeing the burgeoning sector.

“Developers have studied all the ports up and down the East Coast several times now. What we’re really looking for is large areas, good capacities, no bridges and deep drafts. And if someone has that, please come…

Welcome to the ‘wild west’ of wind law

Can a wind farm owner sue a neighbor for interfering with the breeze?

That question is high on the radar of renewable energy law experts as government officials push for more offshore wind development and as analysts predict that solar, wind and other alternative domestic power sources could overtake coal.

An emerging body of scientific evidence shows that wind farm “wakes” – or the air flow downwind of an active turbine –…

Senator Collins, advocate of the 20 mile wind turbine setback for saltwater, simply looks the other way at the setback of several hundred feet on land.

Dive Brief:

ISO New England now requires wind- and intermittent hydro resources with a capacity supply obligation to offer into the grid operator’s day-ahead energy market, the grid operator announced Tuesday.

The grid operator called it “another milestone” in its efforts to incorporate renewables into the regional marketplace. The requirement, effective June 1, comes three years after the ISO launched the Do Not Exceed (DNE) dispatch project, enabling those resources to take…

Central Maine Power Co.’s proposal to build a transmission line through western Maine has stirred up controversy on editorial pages, television airwaves, Facebook and the floor of the Maine Legislature.

But the fight is about more than the swath of forest that would need to be cleared to build the line, which would bring hydroelectricity from Quebec to Massachusetts. It’s ultimately…

So please explain it to me again. If trillions have already been spent on wind energy and the U.S  wastes trillions more over the next several decades...............How can wind energy possibly have an impact on carbon emissions and climate?                                                                                                                                                               Here is a recent look at Energy consumption in the US…

Investment? More like pickpocketing ratepayers and taxpayers. Amazing what con artists can get away with with shilling sock puppet media never giving the public the actual facts.

After pause, Maine may have missed the boat on offshore wind

The East Coast is poised for billions of dollars in investment from companies building wind farms in the ocean from Virginia to Massachusetts. Despite a bill in the Maine Legislature to get an experimental…
