What do you get when 40,000 people fly to a luxurious destination on carbon-spewing jets to save the planet from, well, carbon-spewing jets (and everything else powered by oil or natural gas).

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.

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).…

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.

The needs of developing countries and indigenous communities are being blocked by developed countries, according to the group, which hopes to expose “inequities caused by the unjust, capitalistic systems currently in power” and apply pressure on developed countries to agree to large-scale reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.…

Islamic State earns about $500 million a year from its oil revenues. But according to former CIA director Mike Morrell, US fighter aircraft have been ordered not to bomb their oil wells in case they cause “environmental damage.”

Yes. That makes sense. Clearly one of the main priorities in any war of attrition should be to do…

Angus King, Adam Lee, Maureen Drouin, George Smith. What a crew.

Maureen Drouin, executive director of Maine Conservation Voters, heard Yearwood speak at a League of Conservation Voters national event and invited him to Maine. And I am so glad she did. His speech was provocative and challenging, for sure.

“The fossil fuel industry’s current business plan amounts to a death sentence for young people,” he said.…

Angus King is about as effective as his wind power.

Report Card on Angus King - Effectiveness Score: 0%

He is ranked # 16 of the 535 voting members of congress in ineffectiveness. And of the 100 U.S. Senators, he is ranked # 1 in ineffectiveness.

 Angus King lecturing others about environmental ethics???????????

"But first, U.S. Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, took the mic and provoked the thoughts of the crowd with a quick lesson in environmental ethics".

U.S. Senators Susan Collins and Angus King believe that Maine isn’t capitalizing enough on its ample hydropower, onshore wind and biomass resources, which are all valuable components to a thriving energy economy".

Prominent Scientists Declare Climate Claims Ahead of UN Summit ‘Irrational’ – ‘Based On Nonsense’ – ‘Leading us down a false path’

http://www.climatedepot.com/2015/11/19/scientists-declare-un-climat...…

House Science Committee Chairman Lamar Smith, R-Texas, opened another front in a war with federal climate researchers Wednesday, saying a groundbreaking global warming study was “rushed to publication” over the objections of numerous scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.…

After his press conference, Trump walked a second gauntlet of well-wishers on his way up the steps, encountering a home-schooled girl named Annabelle and her younger brother – both of whom came with written questions to ask the would-be president for an academic project. 'I've heard you think fracking is better than wind power. Why do you think that?' the girl asked him. 'It's better. You know it's better,' Trump told Annabelle. 'Because the windmills have their place, but they kill the…

The internet was born open but is becoming closed everywhere. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the rush to shutter readers’ comments sections at major news organisations. Cheered on by intolerant, snobbish cultural elites, news organisations from The Verge to The Daily Beast have, in recent months, informed their readers to take their opinions elsewhere.…

From Tom Steyer to Nat Simons,…

Gary J. Duarte of Sparks, Nevada, is director of the U.S. Nuclear Energy Foundation, a national nuclear advocacy group based in Sparks.

Now living in Sparks, Nevada, I returned to Maine last year for my 50th Lewiston High School reunion and, while in the area, visited the Seabrook nuclear plant.

I grew up in Maine and lived in the state when Maine Yankee went online. Contrary to what people were led to believe, it was a successful power generating station.…

In an effort to distract investors from its cash-burning car business, as well as to find some use for millions of Panasonic cells that it has committed to buy without being able to sell enough cars to utilize them, Tesla Motors (NASDAQ:TSLA) last week introduced a 10kWh home battery pack meant only for emergency back-up power.

It will cost $7140 installed, will be dead in fewer than five hours, and can't run an entire house or central air conditioning or…

U.S. plan: Fight terror with green energy projects

The production tax credit is not enough, so use foreign aid to send even more money to the wind sector.

The “Economic Growth Activity” project being pursued by the Obama administration will hire contractors to advise the Somalian government in building an “economic foundation” in green infrastructure…

I like this comment from a reader of this article:

Jim Wiegand

The comparison isn't even close. Wind turbines in America probably kill more birds

each month than the BP oil spill in the Gulf.

But what is the public to believe when research is rigged, our government is

corrupt and very little we are being told about renewable energy is the truth?

We are not being told about important turbine impacts like the extinction…

The reality is that natural gas exists today, not sometime and somewhere in the future. And it’s a much cleaner alternative to the oil and coal fuels it replaces. Natural gas pipelines can be built safely and sensitively — as they are throughout the country — to bring cheap Marcellus gas into New England. Our businesses, workers and families shouldn’t have to pay the highest energy costs in the nation when a plentiful supply of domestic natural gas is available just a few states away. Make…
