I’m Not Dead Yet! Massive Maine Offshore Wind Energy Project Clings To Life

In spite of a lot of setbacks, and still a bunch of roadblocks in the way, the Green Bunch are still holding up hopes that a 500 MW system can be put in offshore.  I hope the PTC shoot down will put an end to all this foolishness.  Running the hookup for the offshore turbines in Maine waters to hook up to the grid will be extraordinarily expensive, and raise rates again.  That is ALL New infrastructure. …

Essential History: Governor Nominates Kurt Adams to Public Utilities Commission

And be sure to see the following link. Bookmark it, read it and read it again. Big picture: Over PUC staff objections, the Maine PUC approved the $1.4 Billion CMP Upgrade which despite BS published about it in the Maine press was one thing and one thing only - a 100% ratepayer funded gift to the wind industry so they could collect their subsidies and sell their REC's while destroying Maine. Kurt Adams was PUC chairman who took over $1 million in stock options from First Wind and then jumped…

VERMONT! 90% RENEWABLE BY 2050? TRANSMISSION AND STORAGE GET IN THE WAY!

Led by Governor Shumlin, Vermont passed Act 56 which requires 90% of electrical energy to come from renewable sources by 2050. As this article points out, Vermont lacks the transmission capability to do so.  Why should the rate payer bear the cost for private companies?  AND it is true the needed storage capability does not exist yet.

The fleecing America with a shadow government

The never-ending string of corrupt wind industry decisions, the endless rigging, and decades of  false media stories are clear proof that a shadow government actually runs this country.

  1. Shadow government

    The term shadow government, besides its party political meaning, also refers to what is sometimes called "the secret government" or "the invisible government," an idea based on the notion that real and actual political…

Angry Neighbors Shoot-Up Wind Turbines

The pitch is that life for rural communities just isn’t complete without a fleet of blade-chucking, pyrotechnic, sonic-torture devices. And that country folks’ currently miserable, downtrodden lives can only improve with the addition of a few hundred whirling, bat-chomping, bird slicing wonders.

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/

Hannah Pingree on the Maine expedited wind law
