This type of study probably never preceded Wind Power in Maine. 

A recently released study commissioned by the Maine Public Utility Commission dropped a bombshell on the electricity world earlier this year, valuing distributed solar at $0.33 per kWh, far above the state’s prevailing price. Maine’s traditional, centrally generated grid electricity is…

Most News reports state that our Turbine Towers are produced in China. Is this is where most of the CO² is being created in the production of our Not so Green wind turbines ? 

This may not be representative of where Wind turbine components are produced in China, but shows the lax air quality standards. Though we have our own problems. Given yesterday's news announcement, China is currently building Coal fired power plants at a record rate. Coal has the intense power on demand…

I finally got back to completing some of the Energy comparisons, The results are fairly near what I expected in that in petroleum, all are darn near equal in CO2 output. But in doing some energy type conversions of petroleum to BTU, to kWh, to get a comparison of their equalities (or not) this per government publications shows how 1 wind turbine stacks up as to CO2 savings. 

Conventional Summer Gasoline (based on 40 Mpg) 1Mwh = 1192.02 road miles.

.....Hydro power is one of the few green energy sources that is “grid ready” and can supply economical reliable energy. So, naturally, many greens are opposed to it. However, in most places there is competition for fresh water for domestic uses, irrigation, industry and environmental flow. Hydro power is just one more competitor for this valuable green resource.



So Green energy is not so green after all. It reduces the supply of food, water and…
