Here is a followup to the post I made earlier in the week.  When are we ever going to get a break?  It is time to write all our Senators and Congreesspersons (PC) and let them know the real truth.  I know we have tried and tried, but this is serious.  Another pork filled bill that redistributes our wealth to the already filthy rich.  It is both parties.  Why can't these guys listen to real science and and economics?…

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.

Now Keep your eyes on the…

While the mission of our CTFWP-M is not political, this is a breath of fresh air from a challenger in the 2016 race.  It will level the playing field for all competitors and certainly make the Wind sector fold up their tent and go home.  There are better alternatives to making electricity especially in Maine.  Let them come forward.

Sen Grassley, a Senator who never misses a chance to put Pork on the table, has successfully gotten the Production Tax Credit included for Renewables.  The fat cats at Sun/First Wind can continue to line their pockets at our expense. It should be all but a done deal.  Email your Senators and Congressmen to try and stop it.

An Open Letter to Senator Hatch on the PTC

By Lisa Linowes -- July 10, 2015

A Texas company but a subsidiary of a Portugal Company, is looking to put a 250 mw wind facility in the County.  It would be the largest yet in Maine, and at the end would employ perhaps 16 employees.  250 mw at the going rate of 25% would amount to 65 mw total for an investment of $613 million.  That does not include the grid update that the ratepayers have to take care of.  Read the article below.…

From Tom Steyer to Nat Simons,…

Our local Oakfield Wind opponent has supplied more photos of the all too common views of a wind power site being erected.

Turbine N12 going up.  At 489 ft from base to apex of blade, it towers above the surrounding forest and is less than a mile from homes, where residents will surely be affected by turbine audible noise and infrasound…

Clearview Peddles12 cents per kwh for Wind vs 6½ cents per kwh for the current "standard offer" in Maine

We are constantly criticizing the high cost per Megawatt Hour of intermittent wind power.  While people can shop around for a better deal than the default "Standard Offer" approved by Maine's PUC, seldom do people make a conscious choice to spend more on wind power supplied…

Spanish based Iberdrola, the parent company of Central Maine Power Co. is also, through Iberdrola Renewables, developing wind power sites.  It wants to destroy Fletcher Mt. in the mountains around Lexington, Concord and Pleasant Ridge Plantations with a project to be known as West Range Wind.



The staff of Maine's Public Utilities Commission is recommending against allowing Iberdrola to purchase a transmission right of way from Brookfield Hydro that would provide the line from the…

Australia has slammed the door shut on any new government-funded investment in renewable energy schemes as Prime Minister Tony Abbott extends his “war on wind power”. The new directive banning investing in existing wind technology will also apply to small-scale solar projects. In doing so Mr Abbott has sent a clear message to the mendicant green renewable energy sector that there will be no more cheap state-supplied financing for its projects. The funding ban is just the latest salvo…

This news coming from Australia is relevant to Maine as wind power is a worldwide scourge , based on a universal lie and a universal abuse of taxpayers dollars. A decade of proliferations of turbines on our planet has mainly solidified the global False Promise of wind power.

Retired software kingpin and richest man in the world Bill Gates says today’s renewable-energy technologies aren’t a viable solution for reducing CO2 levels, and governments should divert green subsidies into R&D aimed at better answers. - See more at: a

Whereas the carbon-based generation industry is subject to accounting for all costs, such as embodied energy, life-cycle costs, health impact costs, and environmental impacts…… the wind industry gets a pass on all these factors. Those blades are made with epoxy resin, which is made from oil. Those generators are made from steel, copper…. all materials that were mined, which is an environmental nightmare! Wind turbines kill thousands of birds, many of them protected species. Trees are…

Researchers prove human hearing is better than thought and 'turbine phenomenon' is real...    German study found humans hear sounds from around 8 hertz...    This is a whole octave lower than had previously been assumed...    Wind farms produce something known as infrasound at 16HZ...    Wind energy sector has previously claimed noise was inaudible...…

The market is concerned about SunEdison/Terraform's acquisition spree. After spending some $5 billion on First Wind, Invenergy and others, are looking for results.

"Investors have become accustomed to SunEdison and TerraForm's frequent upgrades to guidance. While the latest acquisition was another step in the right direction, additional announcements related to acquisitions or guidance upgrades could lead towards even more muted response. That's because Shareholders want to see…
