Portland businesses support reactivating noise panel

Portland also has a highly restrictive ordinance governing wind turbine height that essentially bans industrial wind and its noise anywhere in the city.

Climate change agenda has been the most expensive PR campaign in the history of the world

The climate change agenda has been the most expensive and extensive public relations campaign in the history of the world. Gallup has been polling on this issue for 25 years. Despite the herculean effort, fewer people are worried about climate change today than 25 years ago. Pew Research Center has repeatedly found that when given a list of concerns regarding the…

“I’m fed up with all the bull crap and all the lying."

Indeed.

The wind power virus rapidly spreading through Maine is but a symptom of a larger systemic infection of corruption and deceit in the nation today. There's a reason that anger has been deemed politically incorrect. They don't want angry citizens but rather docile sheep from whom they can steal.…

Why is Maine in Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative at All? - Bangor Daily News

The fund is financed by a carbon auction system that requires energy producers in nine Northeastern states to pay for the fossil fuels they burn to create electricity. It was established in an attempt to reduce the region’s consumption of fossil fuels and, in turn, reduce the output of climate-warming greenhouse gases.…

Wind Pushing Sierra Club Getting a Bad Name for Itself in the Katahdin Region - BDN Article

Whether one likes or doesn't like the idea of a national park in the Katahdin region, one thing is clear - many folks living in the areas near the proposed park are vehemently opposed to the idea. Yesterday the Sierra Club weighed in with its endorsement of creating a national monument as a step to a park. As a result, they have likely overnight gotten a very bad name for themselves in the area and lost all credibility with many of the residents. Hopefully this will undermine their efforts…

Trump Fights Wind-Farms Because They’re ‘Ugly Monstrosities’

Also - as strange as it may sound to Mainers: "Environmental groups have also objected to the planned wind farm because of its likeliness to kill local birds."

How strange, environmental groups opposing a wind plant.

Money and Power Drive Obama's Climate Agenda

What the president reportedly hides behind the curtain is his alliances with international green elites, a select group of political and Wall Street cronies, and energy regulatory czars who have orchestrated a CO2 carbon-taxing scheme that would put billions of dollars into their own pockets. A regulatory structure is being assembled through federal agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).…

Donald Trump Video: "Wind is Causing A Lot of Problems"

Start at the 2:00 minute mark. The wind industry can not be happy with Donald Trump. He has had personal experience with fighting two wind projects and as he states in this video "I know a lot about wind". As we know, the more one knows about wind, the less they like it.

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/
