"Recent studies from Altamont proved that the new larger turbines being installed there are killing more of the indigenous species per MW in the habitats where they are installed. These studies conducted in the semi desert grasslands of the Buena Vista section of Altamont showed that 11 bird species and 2 bat species were being killed at a higher rate per MW. This included more dead eagles, more dead prairie falcons, and more dead horned larks. This was…

I'll bet they wish their former half owner Larry "D.E. Shaw" Summers and Rahm "I love their other half owner Madison Dearborn" Emanuel were still in Washington giving them handouts with our money. Or that Kurt Adams was still in Augusta "helping out".

As some of you know, I've raised the issue before the PUC and DEP of considering the environmental impact on CO2 and air pollution reduction from clear cutting forests and other bio-mass from these sites using iTREE software.
The iTREE program was specifically designed by the US Forest Service and several other organizations like the DAVEY FOUNDATION to 'measure' the tree and other bio-mass cover, on a tree-by-tree basis and then it's impact on converting CO2 into sequestered…

We had a selectmen's meeting in Dixfield Monday evening. The wind ordinance we had submitted to the town was sent to the town's attorney for review and interpretation by Town Manager Eugene Skibitsky. The town's attorney is Lee Bragg of Bernstein Shur and he found all kinds of fault with the ordinance which prompted the TM to offer another ordinance authored by Norinne Clark and Steve Donahue.
What should be looked…

The UMPI turbine website is reporting power production the past 140 days: 290,516 kWh "since mid-November" until April 6. I calculate: 140 days at 600 Kw capacity and 24 hours per day comes to "installed capacity" of 20,160,000 kWh for that period; 290,516 kWh actual power production divided by the installed capacity gives a MINISCULE .014 Capacity Factor. This compares very poorly to most Maine wind farms' CF, which range from .24 to .41 CF for the same period.
The site…

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/

We have the facts on our side. We have the truth on our side. All we need now is YOU.
