From the archives -- wasn't First Wind (now Sun Edison) CEO Paul Gaynor some sort of green energy adviser to then Mass Governor Deval Patrick?

Who are these people destroying Maine?

"Will Maine legislators ever wise up to the fact that our feel-good state energy policy is draining hundreds of millions of dollars from Maine’s economy and billions from the New England economy? As giant turbines continue to proliferate on more and more of our mountains and smiling wind developers pocket vast amounts of taxpayer and ratepayer money that should have been invested instead in more dependable forms of clean energy, one has to wonder."…

Mainer's Are About to pay dearly for their legislated  "Greenwashed" Renewable  Wind Power policy.   Industrial Wind, a feckless scam in Maine ,is adding to the pain. Industrial wind expansion in Maine must end , and dense fuel expansion such as natural gas must be placed online rapidly , or Maine's economy will get worse , much worse.

See below please, and hang onto your pocketbooks this winter.

There is no doubt that we are losing jobs and tax base this week with the announcement of Bankruptcy in Lincoln, the closing of the Old Town Mill, and Verso recently.  Gov. LePage has done all he can to hold these projects back, but there is so much money in the pockets of our Legislators, they can't help themselves from making bad decisions for Mainers.  More jobs down the tube with no hope of them ever coming back.…
