Renewables advocates constantly imply that wind and solar are becoming “competitive” but they fail to include the cornucopia of subsidies, which add up to much more than the value of the electricity produced. When challenged they talk about the “social cost” of fossil fuels, as if fossil fuels provide no benefit to society, and imply that these social costs justify the high cost, human suffering, visual blight, habitat destruction, environmental degradation, loss of local control,…

As many of us fought the despicable LD 1513, it is important to realize how long ago the close relationship between John Baldacci and Iberdrola started and how Iberdrola slowly and patiently laid its plans to attempt to conquer the lion share of the electric system in Maine, both transmission and eventually generation.…

Is the U.S. Department of Energy somehow advocating the dissolution of home rule? (Note the reference to home rule). Be sure to register in advance - it's free.

Be sure to watch Eric Tuttle's video. The camera brings sunlight, the great sanitizer.

Can we get a statue of Eric right up next to Paul Bunyan?

Bless you Eric Tuttle.

And thank you to all who fought so hard to defeat this nightmarish bill from Rep. Mark Dion, the wind industry  and the utilities including ex-Gov John Baldacci's new employer, Iberdrola, where in December 2015 Mr. Baldacci was made Vice Chair of their wind division,…

In June of 2015, the 127^th Maine…

This is one example calculated from scientific studies, using i-TREE software:

"The results of London’s i-Tree Eco project are now available in a comprehensive report which details the significant benefits that trees provide one of the world’s great cities. The study highlights the essential role that green infrastructure plays in providing ecosystem services and making London a vibrant place to live, visit and work. Recognizing the many contributions of…

If They Can Do Away With Wind In The Desert, Why Can’t We Do It Here In Maine?

The Federal Courts just shot down a huge development of 87 wind turbines in the desert of Nevada because the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) had inconsistencies in their reporting of endangered species and impact to the environment the project would do.  I have been to the area around Lake Mead where this project was to have been built, and it is basically a wasteland compared…

Maine lawmakers opt not to tinker with electricity deregulation

RUMOR IS THAT LD 1513 WILL EITHER BE KILLED OR SENT FOR A THOROUGH NEW STUDY!!!!
