Maine will use less electricity in 2023 than today, forecast says

BY TUX TURKEL STAFF WRITER…

In Dec. 2013, after nearly four years of basic wind warrioring, the Business and Consumer Court agreed with the Beckfords of Rebel Hill Farm and vacated Pisgah Mt, LLC's permit. The Court concluded the Clifton Planning Board did not enforce the ordinance that Pisgah was unable to comply with. At that time we wondered if the town government would know it was time to fold 'em. Nope!! After having wasted $75,000 in their legal support of Pisgah, the Select Board gave the Planning Board…

EPA wants Maine power plants to cut emissions 13.5 percent by 2030

EXCERPTS:

In a statement, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers — the union that represents workers at Bath Iron Works, FairPoint Communications and elsewhere — expressed concern the new regulations could reduce the country’s overall electricity production capacity and could negatively affect jobs and…

I believe this is based on the U.S. If wind power is as terrible as Brookings describes nationally, think of how much less efficacious it is in Maine where onshore wind is overall poor.

Hopefully the shallow thinking environmental groups will soon stop taking money from the wind industry and quickly acknowledge the reality they have been helping to destroy Maine's magnificence in shilling for this wholly fraudulent electricity…

Great Read: Renewable energy mandates, GE and other cronies

EXCERPT:

But even better for GE is the fact that wind turbines last 20 years- at best. Thus, over the 60…

Questions about future of wind power in N.H.

Excerpts:

“There have been several attempts in recent legislation to pass moratoria on wind energy in the state, either explicitly or de facto,” he wrote in an email. “Although those have not come to pass, there is continued pressure for the wind industry and wind supporters to defend against new legislation that…

Gas pipeline plan for Maine and New England gets pushback

Conservation group argues for lower-impact alternatives.

...activists say New England’s dependence on gas postpones a…

Apparently there was virtually no lobbying by the Maine environmental groups last year when the legislature paved the way to increase CO2 emissions in Maine by raising the speed limit on our roads.

When extremely compelling citizen testimony is given on stopping the destructive sprawl of wind turbines in Maine, the citizens are basically treated by the environmental groups as "policy road kill" that must be sacrificed in the fulfillment of their ultimate stated goal of…

Massive wind projects will never offer real value

http://www.pressherald.com/opinion/letters/Letter_to_the_editor__Massive_wind_projects_will_never_offer_real_value.html

EXCERPT:

1 kilowatt of windmill electricity produces 57x the profit of 1 kilowatt of hydrocarbon fuel electricity.

The extraordinary and outsized economics of green energy are consistent with an arcane scheme. It is originated by government mandates forcing all electric customers to pay for nothing except for the transfer of wealth to the "chosen winners" of the high priests of Green Energy Ideology.  Getting chosen to own a windmill is an…

M.D. Harmon: Climate-change skeptics face intellectual McCarthyism

Even the world of meteorology can fall victim to witch hunts for nonbelievers in leftist dogma.

Something darkly ominous just happened in the ranks of climate scientists, and it follows a trend in which many people have not been permitted to speak – or even been fired – for holding views on such issues as marriage, militant Islam and foreign policy that opposed the positions of…

Theory

Did anyone see the article about pictures from the Hubble Telescope that showed how the Giant Red Spot, a violent storm that has been seen on Jupiter since we have had telescopes that cold see it?  Over the last 50 or so years it has shrunk to almost half its size.  I was about to write a snarky article about global warming but got to thinking about something interesting. 

 I'm pretty sure there are no living beings on Jupiter that can be accused of…

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

Why do the Big Lies of Big Wind persist , and why are  perpetrators like First Wind successful?

You ask "Why?" here's a quote that explains ....."..... in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they…

At issue are 4,000' foot setbacks. Anyone who has studied this knows that even 4,000' constitutes inadequate protection. The underlying issue is that pound for pound, wind provides 57 times more profit than other electricity sources thanks to tax breaks and other preferential treatment and that getting chosen to own a wind turbine is an economic gift of…
