Carbon offsets from reforestation, measuring carbon capture and sequestration
Approaches to measuring carbon capture & sequestration:
There are two methods:
One can work backwards; starting with the fuels and energy consumed and estimate how many trees it would take to offset the emissions from these fuels. Such a tool is the CLIMATE CHANGE CALCULATOR found at http://www.americanforests.org/resources/ccc/index.php
For example, if I enter 300 gal. of…

How RECs Can Save Wind
A wind developer contemplating a project in New York laments that the project must be put on hold due to electrical power prices currently at an all-time low because of oversupply of natural gas. See www.windaction.org “Galloo Island Wind Farm "on hold" for at least six months; low price of electricity cited “
At some point, the electricity produced from wind has to enter the market and is subject to the current market price. Sometimes, the…

New UMPI data - same old story
As of today (July 5, 2012) the UMPI turbine website reports it has generated 379,171 kwH "since mid-November". That is 223 days; at 14,000 kwH per day "installed" capacity, that's a Capacity Factor of .118, about the same as the previous reports. No other new information is posted. As before, the site declares the full-data reporting software continues to need "fine tuning".
The turbine was shut down for 210 days before last November's fresh start-up. That's 223 days of…

Fundraiser to Fight Oakfield Wind July 14
As a Massachusetts resident but lifelong summer Mainer, it has been a blessing to spend the last two weeks at my families cottages on Pleasant Lake in Island Falls. Even as I type this I look out onto pristine views that as we all know are threatened to become extinct should First Winds plans come to fruition in Oakfield. Lynne Williams, Donna Davidge and so many others have been fighting long and hard and financial support is crucial to keep the good fight going. Myself and Ben Walker,…

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/
