There is very little evidence that this is the case and indeed mounting evidence that wind generated power is not carbon friendly.

King repealed auto testing why ?
In Maine, which because of prevailing winds gets smog from most of the Northeast, there were so many complaints about $24 tests that began in the state's southern half last July that the state suspended the mandatory program in November. The fee was reduced to $14 and the tests were made voluntary, but ultimately the whole program was repealed.
This state has never had any kind of emissions testing ever, then it went from 0 to 60 immediately,'' Deborah Garrett, a spokeswoman for the…

Two Maine offshore wind projects move closer to fruition
These liars stated today before the Environment & Natural Resources Committee that wind power has actually lowered Maine's electricity rates when the reason rates went down was natural gas - something they fight. In fact, the transmission portion of the rates went up on July 1 by 20% due to wind power.
Two Maine offshore wind…

So, why not sue?
Sure sounds like a viable case to me. Doesn't cost that much to file a lawsuit; so why haven't you done it? This would be the perfect time; in fact, probably the only time it really makes sense ....SO JUST DO IT!
Sometimes if a cause is righteous, you have to lead the way and endless posting is wasted, so just find a lawyer or head to the law court and file the suit yourself...the clerk will help you. Ask Crocker if he will review the filing.
You've convinced me there…

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/
