A Dastardly Deed Stripping Maine People of Their Say on the Aroostook County Power Lines.

Two actions taken by the Democrats in Maine Government that means the 1200 megawatt wind project in Aroostook County will be rammed through and the people can do nothing to stop it.

1. In 2021 the mission statement for the PUC was amended to add the duty of "reducing greenhouse gas emissions to meet the greenhouse gas emissions reduction levels set forth in Title 38, section…

The Maine Democrats and Efficiency Maine Trust combine to destroy the livelihoods of Maine people

Efficiency Maine Trust (EMT) in cahoots with the Democrat ruled legislature and executive branches of Maine government have designed a path to destruction of Maine, one citizen at a time.

EMT's heat pump program commandeered the removal of an existing heating system with an enticement enabled by money all ratepayers pay through their monthly electric bills. This is nothing short of…

2025 Regional System Plan identifies future needs of New England grid

ISO-NE presents a study that shows how 50 cents per kilowatt hour electricity can be a reality by 2050 or sooner if states continue to pursue wind, solar and battery storage and neglect natural gas and nuclear.

The chart shows where New England wind, solar and storage is presently and what will be to be overbuilt to meet the demand in 2050.  …

Questions for the EUT Committee

Chair Lawrence, Chair Sachs and Fellow Energy Consumers of the EUT Committee,

As I was preparing testimony on LD 1949, An Act Regarding Energy Fairness, I became curious about a number of items:

If renewables are reducing electricity prices, why are there a record number of people enrolled in LIAP?

Is natural gas the reason for high electricity prices or the reason we have electricity?

If a renown solar company operating in…

Government's Cheap Shot at Carbon Dioxide



"The average residential CMP Delivery amount includes about $15 per month in non-CMP

costs to support Maine public policy initiatives including net energy billing subsidies, low-income assistance and energy efficiency."



That message came with my electric bill. How much is too much to reduce greenhouse gases

from the atmosphere? As I listen to people telling of the dangers of carbon dioxide, and

how this substance must be eradicated from…

Maine Democrat Policies That Create a Never-ending Lifetime of Expensive Electricity

Don’t expect electricity prices to come down anytime soon in Maine, even with the federal government recission of wind and solar projects and subsidies.

 

Entrenched in Maine laws are two policies that will cause prices to spike as they are tied to an acceleration of wind, solar and battery installations.

The Democrats Plan to Destroy the Maine Economy for Good in Their Final Majority-led Legislative and Executive Session

How will the Democrat led Maine legislature compensate their favorite out of state solar and wind developers wishing to erect their junk in Maine now that the feds won't be funding them?  By strong- arming the PUC, of course, and it helps that the PUC is chaired by a Democrat, and another commissioner is a solar enthusiast with solar installations on her personal property.

The mechanism is " Long Term Contracts" where the PUC requests bids from…

Stop Solar and Carbon Taxes Now

Below is a screenshot from the ISO-NE website displaying the electrical generation sources that supply power to New England; This chart breaks down the type of generation with its relative grid input percentage by seasons.

In Maine, winter power supply is a critical necessity. 

As can be seen, natural gas and oil supplied 60% of New England's electricity for the winters of 2024 and 2025. Much more than the 55% during the winter of 2023.

Carbon Dioxide Emissions from Fossil Fuel Electricity Generating Plants in New England About to Surpass RGGI Allowances

Carbon dioxide emissions from natural gas and oil-fired generation plants in New England have trended upward for the past 4 years despite the RGGI emission allowances have been decreasing each year.

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/

Sign up today and lend your voice and presence to the steadily rising tide that will soon sweep the scourge of useless and wretched turbines from our beloved Maine countryside. For many of us, our little pieces of paradise have been hard won. Did the carpetbaggers think they could simply steal them from us?

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

“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”
