With so many new citizens becoming engaged in protecting Maine from the onslaught of industrial wind proliferation, I'm taking the liberty of posting the links to the investigative reporting on wind that was done last year by the Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting.
Please bookmark this page for future reference. There's some pretty powerful information here.

The FERC Quarterly reports have just been posted for the 2nd quarter of 2011.
Stetson I sold 32,000 MWH of power. With its capacity of 26MW, that is .251 of capacity.
Stetson II sold 13,000 MWH of power. With its capacity of 26 MW, that is .224 of capacity.
Mars Hill sold 30,000 MWH of power. With its capacity of 44 MW, that is .308 of capacity.
That's the facts -

I just took the time to check the frustrating UMPI turbine website - the pink rectangle stating the turbine is down and mentioning the "pitch rod" difficulty appears at the top of each and every webpage! Yet there is no mention of the shutdown (apparently for the past 140 days) in the Timeline! The Timeline consists mostly of publicity events, conferences, etc., and the latest bar chart of power production is for March!
Considering the promised and publicized "full disclosure" of…

We are stuck where we were two months ago - the data reporting is still broken.
The only thing new is that THE WIND TURBINE ITSELF IS BROKEN YET AGAIN.

The comments from readers are better than what NRCM and Maine Audubon have to say. When wind-warrior environmentalists have to fight so called environmental groups to save Maine from these grotesque installations and their required transmission, the world is truly upside down.

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/
