Or should the headline instead read "Mass and foreign corporations aim to cash in on Maine at the expense of Mainers?"

In total, 14 companies bid projects located in or passing through Maine. Another proposed a power cable passing through Maine waters from New Brunswick to Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Eleven of the proposals include new wind turbines — often combined with battery storage — and two include new…

Con Ed is proposing a partnership with a group of energy developers called Maine Power Express LLC to deliver northern Maine wind power to Boston markets. Under the plan, MPX would build a 630-megawatt wind facility in Penobscot and Aroostook counties called County Line Wind. Then the partnership would deliver that power via an underground power line on an existing energy corridor that eventually connects to an underwater transmission line to…

As George Orwell often pointed out, changing the meaning of words is a method of controlling and limiting the ability to think.

The word "clean," like the word "green," has a new meaning.  Now "clean" means politically correct.  Something is clean if it conforms to green dogma.…

RGGI proponents want us to believe that the program is delivering on a global environmental promise, but the reality is the nine-state cap and trade system is a colossal failure of resource allocation that should be repealed to leave more efficient market forces.

Obama was right when he told us he would stop the seas from rising during his first campaign. In spite of the fact that he failed to get the CO2 levels from continuing to rise and the world temperatures were level for his whole administration (The Pause), sea levels actually fell for the last two years. ??? Does any of this fit the IPCC or Globalst narrative?

NASA and satellites have just put a stick in the religious alarmism that is "Climate Change."  It's worth a read. AlGore's new…

TESLA POWERWALL 2.0 FOR STABILIZING DISTRIBUTION GRIDS

Tesla markets a wall-hung, 14 kWh Powerwall 2.0 battery unit, with lithium-ion cells made by Panasonic, either in Japan or Nevada. The unit is designed for daily charging and discharging.

The turnkey cost of the unit = $6,200, factory FOB + S & H + Contractor markup of about 10 percent + Misc. hardware + Installation by 2 electricians, say 16 hours @ $60/h = $8,200, or $586/kWh of battery…

Plymouth is celebrating a bid form CMP/Emera to run a line bringing 1,000 MW of Canadian wind and hydro power to Massachusetts using the connection at what will soon be the retired Pilgrim Nuclear plant. Pilgrim could probably go on for another 20 years, but they have experienced a few problems over the last several years, not major ones, and then there is always the issue of spent fuel rods. This beats the…

From Our View in NJ, the people have spoken and told the wind farm planned off the coast of Atlantic City that a rate of 23¢ Kwh is not acceptable. Dong Energy operating in Europe seems to think they can deliver for under 10¢ with a massive offshore development and that will be the future. The problem is though, that the components are all from overseas and…

For those who found Mike Bond's Killing Maine spot on, if you haven't read it, his earlier novel Saving Paradise about the wind industry's attack on the glorious state of Hawaii, is available on Kindle for 99 cents at the present time.

A couple of browsing results for Hawaii and wind turbines:…

After all, Governor Baldacci is the person who jammed through the heinous Expedited Wind Law in Maine which…

Massachusetts' energy NEEDS? I don't think so. Rather the "need" is simply a government mandate engineered by politicians and regulators while the average ratepayer in the state, lied to by the Massachusetts media is oblivious. Anybody think any of those politicians are ON THE TAKE?

Given Quebec’s excellent wind resource and the willingness of dozens of its communities to host wind farms, incorporating wind energy into…

The turnkey capital cost of battery systems has been decreasing the past few years. The below table has turnkey capital costs/kWh of some 2016 and 2017 projects. Subsidies, such as cash grants, discounts, investment tax credit, ITC, and 5-year accelerated depreciation, which serve to reduce the cost/kWh, were ignored.
