Canton wind moratorium proposal stirs comments

LePage’s energy czar questions offshore wind plan

1. Columbia Journalism Review's "Darts and Laurels"…

September 13, 2012

A new television spot by a national Republican group blasts independent U.S. Senate candidate Angus King and Democrat Cynthia Dill for their support of industrial wind. 

The 30-second spot is part of a reported $600,000 advertising buy from the National Republican Senatorial Committee. The ad, entitled "Caught," builds off recent attacks by Republicans who say that King shouldn't…

The financial capacity requirements of the DEP permitting process are quite clear.

WORSE THAN SOLYNDRA: OBAMA ADMIN BUYING MAINE SENATE SEAT WITH CRONY ENERGY LOANS

the latest angus king/solyndra comparison is perfect.  He has no dignity, no scruples, as he and his family line their pockets with taxpayer money under the guise of green energy.

Bernie Madoff is a saint compared to the wind scam in maine.   

Let's hope the Maine voters see thru this ruse as it is - a scam disguised as green energy solutions to the world's problems.   Wind power overtakes the former oldest profession.  the taxpayers of maine and the electric…

But that’s not where the story ends. It seems that before he left the company, King helped apply for a Department of Energy grant worth some $33 million. Which means one of two things: either the company was thriving, in which case King was helping bilk taxpayers for an additional $33 million; or the company was having financial difficulties, in which case the $33 million grant was designed to help cover the cost of the loans, $23 million of which was coming due with a maturity date of April…

Angus King made this statement in an interview for Wind Powering America: 

Q. What do you hope to accomplish as a wind developer?

A. I would like to be associated with the development of substantial  projects in Maine and make a dent in Maine's energy demand and climate impact.  The bottom line is that we need to DO something about climate change instead of  just…

Another angle on the fraud and theft Angus and Chellie and Obma have done to us.  It's time to speak out and expose it.

Dear Editor,

The American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) has deployed an army of paid lobbyists to capture the American government, much in the way King George III sent his hired Hessian troops in their crisp green uniforms, armed with long muskets, tipped with long sharp bayonets, and to kill the life out of the American independence movement.

Big Wind, disguised in “green-mindedness”, has been crushing anyone and everyone who happens to be in its way. Residents in towns and…

The need to be heard

I live in an Unorganized Territory. There is no recognized “town government” in Lexington. We’re too small for that. But we’re still American citizens. We believe that our voices and our wills should not be disregarded simply because we live in rural Maine.

More than 80 percent of our residents signed petitions opposing Iberdrola Renewables’ proposed industrial wind facility planned for the mountain summits rising above our homes. But because…

It’s time to call out the pretenders.  The article attached to this blog tells us it is time to start asking some deep questions about the alarmists that have an agenda.  The agenda is that gaining control over our economies is a factor of making energy so precious that the governments have to take control of them.  They have to set up agency upon agency to regulate the way we do business, and make it so expensive that no one can build a business to employ citizens, pay taxes, and build…

(Reuters) - The Netherlands has been famous for its windmills for centuries but now one of its most populous provinces has said it wants to ban their modern-day incarnations - wind turbines - on the grounds that they are ugly and noisy.  Read more...

PS... this is the province which includes Amsterdam, the…

The day before the AWEA Regional Conference was to begin, I sent the following to all Maine media to let them know that we, the citizens, wanted to be included in the reporting on the AWEA regional conference.  I provided plenty of facts as well as our common positions of opposition to wind power development in Maine. 

Two Letters to the Editor from the 8/10/12 Bangor Daily News

The Maine media bias in favor of wind development has been obvious for some time. A recent BDN article served as a perfect example. The story of the truck losing its wind tower load in a ditch went the extra mile for the industry by devoting much of its space to promotional data for First Wind and the industry in general.

I don’t recall other stories reporting truck accidents including…
