Dead whales keep washing up on the U.S. Atlantic coast. A coalition of wind opponents, environmentalists and conservatives are blaming offshore wind.
The offshore wind industry has a 40-ton problem on its hands.
Since early December, close to two dozen large whales have washed up on or near beaches on the U.S. Atlantic coast, and about a third of the so-called…

An elderly woman whom I met during the campaign season recognized me as I stood at her door. Before I could even begin my introduction, tears welled up in her eyes. At over 70 years old, she told me she had to ask for heating assistance.
For the first time in her life, she said she could not provide for herself. It obviously shattered her as someone who prided herself as an independent woman, and the stress of just paying for…

Scottish Daily Record|John Ferguson|February 5, 2023
ozens of giant turbines on Scotland’s windfarms have been powered by diesel generators, the Sunday Mail can reveal. Scottish Power admitted 71 of its windmills were hooked up to the fossil fuel supply after a fault developed on the grid.
The firm said it was forced to act in order to keep the turbines warm during very cold weather in December. But a whistleblower…

The past year has been eventful for oil.
Markets have been volatile, moving up sharply to $120 per barrel, then retreating later in the year back to the $70 range before recovering to $80 in January. Price aside, oil is perhaps the most broadly utilized commodity in the world, driving strategic outcomes and responsive to others.…

On a bright fall day, Maine Department of Transportation Commissioner Bruce Van Note is standing on a pile of rocks sticking out into Penobscot Bay.
“We’re at the end of the jetty on Sears Island as part of a process to figure out whether and where Maine can build a wind port to create clean renewable energy and fight climate change,” he says. ”So that’s what this is all about, that’s the big picture.”
Van Note is touring the…

New legislation would require the Public Utilities Commission to procure enough electricity from offshore wind farms to power 980,000 homes.
Proposed legislation unveiled Tuesday would call for the purchase of offshore wind-generated electricity in amounts that could supply every home in the state, and then some.
Wind turbines that would float in the Gulf of Maine are still in development and not yet a reality. But a…

IT’S BEEN 3 ½ YEARS since Massachusetts utilities negotiated a massive power purchase agreement with Hydro-Quebec, and the electricity still isn’t close to flowing because of repeated delays in building a transmission line from the Canadian border down through Maine.
Hydro-Quebec officials say they are ready to deliver the power as soon as the transmission line is completed, but an upcoming change in administration at the Quebec-owned company and…

Wind to improve grid reliability when the damn stuff can't be stored at grid scale? Who was behind this kind of reporting? Troy Jackson up in Aroostook seems like he could be salivating.

He interviewed guest Rosie Moore, a geoscientist who explained how President Joe Biden’s major push for offshore wind power threatens the extinction of the right whale.
Maine’s lobster industry is under threat from onerous federal regulation because of a fictitious belief on the part of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) regulators that lobster gear is a threat to whales.

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/
