Please read this, as it highlights the crazy approach being taken in an overreaction Global Warming hype from a environmentalist leader of the German Renewables Industry at RWE, a huge European power company! Germany is even further down the path of renewables. Will we learn their lessons?! Sadly he doesn't address harm to people and animals from the industrialization of the countryside.

Wind Wise Radio will visit with folks fighting the scourge of industrial wind in some very special places, talk about the weeks headlines, and take listener calls.

There is a dangerous trend brewing as even precious unspoiled places with regional or world wide significance are being prospected and proposed for industrial scale wind development.  For example, this past week in California a vote to approve a project on Bureau of…

The UMPI turbine site has just posted a new power production figure::

Since mid-November of 2011, the turbine produced 302,150 kWh for UMPI.  

That's 164 days, an average of 1,842 kWh per day.

302,150 kWh divided by 164 gives an average of 1,842 kwh per day produced since it was fixed.  

It is a 600 kw turbine; 600 kw X 24 hours is 14,400 kWh per day "installed capacity".  

1,842 kWh (recorded average daily power production) divided by 14,400 kWh (installed…

Academia, including the University of Maine is one of the forces that blindly supports politically correct wind energy. Many universities can simply never be "green" enough, even if they don't quite know what that means or that their dogma-driven goals are largely ill conceived.

Following is an excerpt on how the UMS System blindly approved the UMPI wind turbine disaster:

"The University prepared carefully for a discussion of the wind project at the September…

The following eight Republicans went against their party's leader, Governor LePage and agreed with the wind industry that running water is not renewable. By effectively banning large inexpensive Canadian hydro power as a renewable, they have granted yet one more subsidy in kind to the parasitic wind industry…

Truth from Texas with Robert Bryce and Headlines with our Expert Roundtable — Sun. April 29, 7pm ET

Dear Alice:

Thank you for contacting me about our nation's energy tax policy. I appreciate having your thoughts on this issue.…

Excerpted from 4/27/12 Bangor Daily News:

LePage mentioned energy as another key topic when he was making his way through various towns in Penobscot County.

“Mainers are paying $326 million per year above the average American for our energy,” said LePage.

He targeted wind power as a major contributor for that high number.

“It’s a big number. Why? Because we have some groups in Maine that are greedy. We have people in Maine who say that wind is the answer.…

Industrial wind and transparency

When LD 2283 came blowing through the legislative signature pad in 2008, everyone thought that the objective behind this push was to implement something green to help with energy. This became an easy sale when the price increase in gas and everything hit the working class in the wallet. When repercussions started occurring, an interest group formed to ask viability questions such as, “why so big and why the big rush, and hey guys, looks…
