Two more articles about the Township 37 pot-farm, Malcolm French, Haynes Timberland
This is scarey. If Malcolm is really involved in all of this, and it doesn't sound good (after reading the Portland Herald article in the link below), I am sure he will have some big legal expenses if he doesn't wind up losing his company. To think he and Cianbro would be developing an industrial wind farm on Greenland Ridge overlooking East Grand Lake in Danforth, Maine, makes me wonder what else is going on.
I wonder what other sites these folks were considering. Malcom's company…

UMPI turbine seems to be working
The UMPI turbine seems to be working! At 4:00 pm today (9/26/12) the website reports rotor rpm at 18.1; generator rpm 28.6; power 354KW, and a 30-hour net gain of about 4500 KWH. This is the largest net gain reported in months. The turbine's installed capacity is 600 KW, or 600X24H=14,400 KWH per day. That's a Capacity Factor of .25 .

UMPI turbine website still working - sort of
The UMPI turbine is continuing its partial data reporting. The wind speed seems to vary, and the rotor and generator rpm vary also, but the power being produced has been a steady minus figure for five days, usually
- 0.1 KW. I check this daily.
Net power produced has dropped about 38 kwh in that time. "Power" reported was 25,122 KWH Sept. 19;…

I am asking for your help for Forest, WI
Dear Fellow Wind Fighters:
I am asking for your help.
We, in the town of Forest, St. Croix County,WI have been fighting against an industrial wind project for two years. The Highland Wind Farm--41 towers 497 foot tall 2.5 MW turbines (likely Nordex N100)--is on the map for our small township. We stopped the project on a local level about one year ago when we recalled the town board based on open records that showed evidence of open meeting violations and possible…

Roxbury Pond
Have you all heard of the recent tax assessor? He is a young guy out of Bath. He boasted how he went to a farm and taxed him as having a private pond!!!!!! It was his irrigation water supply for his crops. He also boasted about how that farmer had to sell his land due to this because he could not pay his taxes under this new assessors decision. He assessed him as if he had land lots for a development. He has been hired for this assessment only and then he is gone so he says. He has been hired… Continue

UMPI Turbine is working, apparently
9/21/12 - UMPI turbine website reports it is ACTUALLY WORKIN , after 180 days.
As of 1:30 PM today, the "live turbine data" web page reports: wind at 7.6 mph, blade pitch at 2 degrees, rotor at 28.8 rpm, 25,000 kwh produced, generator temperature 21 C, power producrion minus 0.1kw, 412 Volts. The bar chart is unchanged and (not labled) it is about 17 months old. The power produced is a puzzle, since it gives no dates. The cute…

UMPI turbine update-
After many months, the "live wind data" page of the UMPI turbine is reporting something! But the turbine is still not generating power.Iin a 12 mph wind, rotor rpm and generator rpm are zero, and power output is MINUS .4 kWh. That's 400 watts of grid power, being used to keep the machine working. At least something is working, and there is an effort to get it all…

How Independence Wind helped shape Maine's expedited wind law
Angus King's partner in Independence Wind, Robert Gardiner, sent the following letter to the Governor's Task Force on Wind Power's chairman Alec Giffen. Gardiner's suggestions about preventing objections based on scenic impact and the unrebuttable presumption about wind power's benefits were incorporated into the law. At the time King and Gardiner already had their MET towers up in Roxbury, and they needed to bulletproof the project against it's drastic impacts on the scenic character of…

PPH/MST Re: Angus King defends his Wind Career
This may or may not be posted as a comment in the paper. They are screening and it is "awaiting Moderation".
I don't begrudge anyone from starting up a new business that they think might improve the quality of life, create jobs, make a profit, improve technology nad make Maine a leader. But Industrial Wind does nothing of those things. Gov. King's own words prove it. "I didn't see how I could credibly talk about energy in Maine (as a Senate candidate) while I was in a…

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/
