It all started at Altamont Pass! Can the Shutdow Start Now, Please?

It was 1981 the EIR was approved and windmill permits issued. Oil shortage must have energy from the wind! Good idea turned bad! 1986 If you build windmills in raptor habitat raptor collision will result. There are 2 projects that can be stopped and a 3rd that I have appealed that can be stopped.

It can only be stopped only by public out cry from electric users!

"WINDMILL FREE ELECTRIC" meaning no wind generated electric, non…

Trump Fights Wind-Farms Because They’re ‘Ugly Monstrosities’

Also - as strange as it may sound to Mainers: "Environmental groups have also objected to the planned wind farm because of its likeliness to kill local birds."

How strange, environmental groups opposing a wind plant.

...and the DEP says this company has "Financial Capacity " to complete and service wind Projects in Maine, required by law for permit approval??

The major question here is , Will This Scamming Company made of llcs, yieldcos and potentially fraudulent hedge fund manipulations even  be able to pay their wind  bills to towns , lease holders and others required of projects in Maine in the future?

How does DEP even dare allow projects to be approved  based on adequate "Financial capacity" projections , which is a DEP requirement for project…

The IPCC's poster child for Climate Change - Bangladesh

The IPCC lists Bangladesh as the country most at risk from climate change.  But guess what?  Bangladesh is shifting its electricity generation from expensive imported gas to cheap domestic coal in order to increase its GDP.   “Bangladesh’s short-term economic and political costs resulting from not using its coal for the generation of electricity are far higher than the longer term costs resulting from climate change. This also explains why there are no specific plans for using the more…

Smells like Soros: CRES in BDN fails to credit natural gas for Maine's reduction in CO2

Does anyone know where this "Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions" gets their funding?

This outfit that has been running TV commercials, presumably at great expense, touting the fact that Senator Susan Collins supports wind energy, i.e., using her misguided support to legitimize this useless power source.

Are Most of Maine's Scenic Resources Now Considered Crap by the Supreme Court?

There is no doubt that "Unique Circumstances" allowed this beneficial decision for PPDLW to stand.

Are all other wind projects in Maine now on the fast track?

KILL PL-661 . pack BEP with pro scenic quality Maine folks, and get DEP away  from rubber stamping projects?

The Fight Continues unfortunately.

Who is the "Supreme Judge" as to   what is beautiful about each area of this unique state?

Unless the citizens get much more active in the aesthetic…

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.
