It is my understanding that legal actions against the wind industry from several different parties may take place in the near future. To help with these actions I am going to give my expert opinion in a series of posts pertaining to the wind industry’s non-scientific and fraudulent mortality data. These posts may include my personal notes.
The highest annual estimated bird mortality from wind turbines in the US is claimed to be no more than…

You’re going to what and you want me to you pay how much? And your research confirms all this? But what have you done lately?
It’s right under everybody’s nose to see if they just look.
The numbers up through 2016 are not much different except consumption has jumped up from the 2009 economic dip. Wind energy will always be a…

This writer thinks we should be more like her home state of Iowa. Anybody out there think Maine is like Iowa? Anybody you know goes to Iowa for vacation? Anybody here think we need more unemployed refugees? How about jobs using wind and solar to provide them?
This is nothing more than lunacy from those that brought Maine into the "Renewable Age". The media at PPH and BDN just don't get it. They didn't see, apparently, what happened yesterday.…

Angus -be sure to show him the data on UMPI's wind turbine that the University has been covering up for just under eight years now. And show him everything you can about your very own Record Hill wind project and all the nonsense surrounding it. Or should the people of Maine bring all of that to the attention of the new administration?
U.S. Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, invited Rick Perry, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to head the Department of Energy, to visit the…

“Today wind generates enough electricity to power 20 million homes”…………. First you have to accept the wind industry's embellished wind energy numbers, which are not accurate especially since energy flowing projects is not accounted for. But if one does happen to accept these figures, then this statement is slightly true because these are primarily light bulb numbers. The real truth is most of the energy being consumed or used to power a home in the US, is from…

I'm probably too annoyed to write about the most recent of MA Public Officials writing green rules that ultimately benefit them. But, this swamp drained will benefit New Englanders and silence is the voice of complicity.
There were zero comments on this Boston Globe 1/18/17 piece I read this AM which demonstrates very troubling public apathy.

The Boston Globe is beating the climate change drum again with new readings saying the Earth has set a new record for warming and this is the third year in a row. I have a few questions about this though, like what happened to the temperatures of the 1930's which were significantly higher than the ones today, and what about the flat lining of the temperatures of the last 18 years? And what happened to the Medieval warming Period? And what about 1997? All these were a lot higher than this…

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.
