The following groups have petitioned the PUC to intervene in the NECEC  case. I wonder how many have wind pushing them .

LD 1810, a bill to extract all of Western Maine from the expedited wind permitting area will go for vote in the House of Representatives next week. The democrats will vote against it, even some who represent Western Maine. 

I skied at Sugarloaf on March 26 & 27, 2018.  LD 1810 would have extended the scenic impact zone for wind projects to 40 miles.  While that seems like a lot, recent attempts in other legislation supported by the Maine Appalachian Trail Club and others would extend the impact zone to 15 miles from either side of the Appalachian Trail.  The AT crosses Crocker Mt and most of the Bigelow Range.  If either of the proposed increases had been adopted instead of killed by the Maine Legislature's…

Driving on State Rte 4 through the Androscoggin River valley towns of Livermore Falls and Jay, Maine's newest wind project on Canton Mt. was jarring as to how dominating it is in the affected region.  While the Patriot Renewables website touts the project with production figures showing expected capacity factor to the 30.9%, Eric Tuttle has been tracking its output via ISO-NE and shared recent days tracking on a Face Book discussion.  Here is a photo of the project taken from North Jay, as…

These are the talking points of Mr. Voorhees,  , climate and energy policy director of the NRCM regarding the NECEC project :

The hellish deals all of these energy spawn.

Just curious, why is it anytime wind power opponents call out wind projects for killing birds, the so called environmental groups tell us there's nothing to worry about?

From the article, Next up, Central Maine Power - Mass. drops N. Pass, opts instead for Maine transmission line:

Green Crony Corporatists Are Obstacles to Lowering Energy Bills, Cleaning Environment

Vermonters for a Clean Environment (VCE) provides facts and information so people can make informed

decisions. In our discussions with Vermonters it became evident that most residents do not understand the

statutory mechanisms to achieve the state’s renewable energy goals. To that end, this paper provides an overview of enacted policies, a discussion about northern Vermont’s grid constraints, and information about Vermont as part of the regional electric grid.…

The Massachusetts Clean Energy RFP issued a statement saying that the state’s electric utilities had terminated the conditional selection of the Northern Pass project and are now working to conclude negotiations with Central Maine Power for its New England Clean Energy Connect line.

The action comes after a siting committee in New Hampshire rejected the Northern Pass proposal, and the developer was unable to gain approval by a March 27 deadline set by…

When criminals, corrupt government agencies and sociopaths are in charge, they make it up as they go along. This is why the public knows nothing about the 38,000 eagles that have been secretly shipped to the Denver Eagle Repository. This is why fraudulent research is conducted, data is rigged and there is no accountability .…

       Roll-call #514: LD 532 (HP 376)

 …

There is significant evidence that our country’s enemies (esp. Russia and China)

are purposefully subverting our energy sector in a variety of ways. Of course they are

being clandestine about this, in hopes that few citizens will notice. One of their most

effective tactics is for them to support US organizations whose energy agenda is

synonymous with theirs.

For example, carefully consider these key energy questions. Who is it that wants:

1) US…
