‘They Hate You’: RINO Susan Collins Poised to Assume Powerful Senate Role
by Jim Hᴏft
Nov. 24, 2024 12:40 pm
For a party that has fought tooth and nail to push back against an increasingly radical left, Collins’ penchant for playing both sides feels more like surrender than strategy.

Wind Project owners at odds with PUC over having to help pay NEB costs
Would you like to see wind projects pay a portion of the net energy metering costs by the same criteria residential customers are paying, i.e. by an increase on the delivery service charge which is currently charged by the meter. That is to say that the current service charge per meter is the same charge for everyone who is enrolled in CMP's small residential class and the amount of monthly kilowatt hour electricity use has no impact on this service charge, it is a homogenous charge…

The impact of the RGGI "Carbon Tax" is upending the electric market
"The estimated RGGI costs for generators of all fuel types increased slightly over the period. RGGI allowance prices increased by 0.7% in 2023 (from $13.48/short ton in 2022 to $13.57/short ton in 2023). For a typical natural gas-fired generator the average estimated CO2 cost was $6.19/MWh in 2023, a modest increase of just $0.04/MWh from 2022." (quote from ISO-NE 2023 annual market report).…

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/

Sign up today and lend your voice and presence to the steadily rising tide that will soon sweep the scourge of useless and wretched turbines from our beloved Maine countryside. For many of us, our little pieces of paradise have been hard won. Did the carpetbaggers think they could simply steal them from us?
We have the facts on our side. We have the truth on our side. All we need now is YOU.
