Lest we forget about NOBLE:

ALBANY, NY (July 15, 2008) - Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo announced today the launching of an investigation into two companies developing and operating wind farms across New York state amid allegations of improper dealings with public officials and…

MAINE COMPASS: Governor's bill calls for accountability, transparency of Efficiency Maine Trust

One of the largest inhibitors, if not the biggest obstacle, to job creation in Maine is high energy costs.…

As I travelled West on Route 2 in Dixfield just before the center of town, I looked to my left at the Woodstock wind project and low and behold not a single turbine was spinning. Proof positive of the absolute inefficiency of these abberations.

March 14, 2012 (San Diego’s East County)--A recent study from Spain estimates bird mortality to be 6-18 million birds and bats annually from their 18,000 installed wind turbines with an installed capacity of 20,676 MW. This works out to a staggering total of 333-1000 birds and bats per turbine or 290-871 mortalities per MW for wind energy in Spain. In…

   With  Congress' non-renewal of the PTC yesterday,  Maine's industrial wind turbines will be even less likely to manage to survive financially. When the turbines cease to generate and sell power, they are required by their Permits to be decomissioned.  Then we will learn the validity of the fully pre-funded financing arrangements that have been made for removal of the monstrosities and restoration of the site to its original condiiton.  The permitting authorities have accepted highly…

Industry voters pass wind farm moratorium

Here is the email response I sent to Rep. Michaud's office:

US Rep. Michaud. I know one of your staff will read this but I will take this message to the citizens of Dixfield. I received your "generic" mail response to my concerns regarding the PTC and wind turbines. In this "generic" letter it states:

"I understand the concerns some have expressed with wind energy, as it involves placing wind turbines on our pristine Maine coastlines and mountains. These turbines are…

If NRCM would just stop the unicorns they ride to work on for a moment and read the following passage from Douglas Rooks, they might ask their energy "experts" to explain themselves.

GAS IS GOOD.

Gas pipelines worth public investment

I am typing the full letter response here that I received from Rep. Michaud. I typed certain areas in bold:

Thank you for contacting me regarding The Production Tax Credit. Maine has unique needs that often require bi-partisan solutions, focused attention and thinking outside of the box. That is why I appreciate your taking the time to get in touch with me and why I come home to Maine nearly every weekend.

In order to protect our economy and our national…

After attempts to tack on a renewable energy production tax credit (PTC) extension to other legislation failed to gain traction, Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., has introduced an amendment to the transportation bill currently under…

The Wind Production Tax Credit: Time to End Big Wind's Loophole



“We hear a lot of talk about federal subsidies for Big Oil. I would like to talk about federal subsidies for Big Wind – $14 billion between 2009 and 2013, according to the Joint Tax Committee. And what do we get for these billions in subsidies? A puny amount of unreliable electricity that arrives disproportionately at night when we don’t need it. Americans are finding out that these are not your…

Skier Wind Turbine Concerns

The rules limit wind turbines to less than 200 feet in height and prohibit any that require lighting. Setbacks are determined based on a formula that considers turbine height, sound levels and the number of turbines.

The ordinance requires a developer to complete a shadow flicker study that examines the area within a 2-mile radius of any turbine. It prohibits turbine blades that glint in the sun.…

Stop subsidizing green energy fantasy, end the wind tax credit
