I know this is a little political, but when you keep hitting your head against the wall, and nothing seems to get better, maybe it is time for a change of views.

 A really well done video of one of our victories, Bower Mountain.  Both sides.

Should the wind industry continue to promote their fraudulent research through media outlets to help sell turbine projects to ignorant Americans?

Yes......... Fraud for the right price is OK in today's world.

No…

The Oakfield project is to come on line this fall, and the media is getting a tour this week.  48 turbines, and 58 miles of transmission line all going to Massachusetts.  Thanks Maine Legislature.

I really hope leadership does not fall for this clearly lopsided bill that will raise prices for all energy.  Of course Angus is leading the way.  He doesn't have any irons in the fire does he?

Are any of you plugged into the white papers produced under the Public Advocate's office  STRATEGEN (Strategies for Clean Energy) series?

The Latest is a direct benefit for the solar PV industry in Maine, and possibly an 'end-around' to Maine's net metering, power generating, and grid interconnection rules. It would enable 'organized community shareholders' to underwrite solar farms to generate power and distribute it through the grid with a minimal charge for grid distribution and…

The windies are still preaching the lie that the fuel for wind turbines is FREE!!!  This is a really hard article to read without gagging.

Small farms in Maine have been really struggling and these systems may make life better for them.  This is a good investment for our government and the farms (consumers).

Emera is buying TECO, the power company in Tampa, FL and the people there are already worried about the reputation that Emera boosts rates higher than they should.  They say Emera is committed to renewables so look out Tampa!…

 Some interesting developments on Tax Incentives.  Note #3.

They are complaining that wind power is not profitable anymore in the Nordic Region.  It is currently priced at $50 a mwh and they saw they need $66 to make it work.  July's ISO-NE price was about $26 mwh.  So how would you like to see your prices triple?…

WOW!  This is really scary!  These guys want to blanket our country with enough wind turbines to power our entire energy needs.  They say it is the cheapest way to go.  HAH!

I think I told you Sun Edison would not go away when they were denied a permit for the Weaver Project in Hancock County.  They plan to resubmit it and push for a 2017 completion date.  Meanwhile they are developing another site in Somerset County and are underway with construction on the Bingham Project.  More hilltops destroyed!

Laura Dorle with Environment Maine, says "We have plenty of sunshine in Maine."  Maybe for about 4 months a year, but with just 4 and a half hours of usable sunshine in the winter, the most useful time to have sunshine, we hardly have enough sun to power our grid.  We still need full power from reliable sources like gas to keep the lights on.  While I have no problem with solar for individuals to use, I resent paying for it through taxes and subsidies.  I happen to have a solar array on my…

In their haste to get turbines up and running in Falmouth, Deval Patrick (Obama's clone), the town and wind promoters outright LIED to the public and hid noise levels until the towers were built.  The townspeople have been fighting since the inception and now have a chance to shut them down if they don't get the special permit by Sept 10.  Mass voters and concerned citizens should write and express their opinions. …

Hello everybody.

I apologize for the repeat  nature of this message,but this is a very important opportunity to have our voices heard.

The wind scandal that Mike Bond has unveiled in his book  " Killing Maine "is the scandal that we are victims of , the scandal that  we have lived in our fibers and souls . Mike's book will strike the media and his readers much more deeply if real victims or real wind warriors emphasize the facts that the book describes.  So tomorrow such an…

The line in this story that Obama would like to have a total output from wind equal to all the energy development for the last 118 years, makes his plan a little whimsical wouldn't you say?

In 2009 career politician and renewable energy propagandist, Governor Deval Patrick celebrated the installation of two wind turbines at MWRA's Deer Island Wastewater Treatment Plant.

The American Wind Energy Association now claims that America's wind turbines are killing 2.6 birds per MW per year. These figures however were obtained by using fraudulent research with methodologies rigged to not find bodies.

In an article published August 28,…
