A report from The Epoch Times via ZeroHedge highlighting new stuides questioning the approved narrative of the settled science crowd. Michael Mann and the IPCC folks are not happy. Could this be the beginning of the take down of the cliamte hoax? One can only hope.…

The Net-Zero by 2050 Ship Starting to Sink

               The PUC shows its hands, finally.

After all the BS the PUC dished out claiming the LS Power project's approval hinged on the benefits to MAINE ratepayers as it wrote clearly in the original request for proposals. A billion dollars later, it claims its hands are tied. This gutless tactic is why government is no…

Offshore Wind is an Economic and Environmental Catastrophe

We recently purchased a property that is directly affected by one of the proposed routes of the

Aroostook Renewable Gateway project. We did not and still have not received ANY information

about this project from LS Power directly, we only know about this because of chatter in local

community forums.

Our affected property is largely protected wetlands, marshland, and protected watershed, old

growth forest, with incredible ancient trees, and the property itself also has…

Green Oceans, the Rhode Island citizens group that fiercely opposes offshore wind farms, is in the midst of a civil lawsuit it has filed against the state Coastal Resources Management Council (CRMC), claiming the council violated the constitution, state regulations, and its own responsibilities when it approved the Revolution Wind farm in May.

The lawsuit, being heard in Newport Superior Court, asks the court to vacate the…

Grassroots in action: Intervenor Status Petition DRAFT with Appendices -- JK Edits 10-7-23.docx (maine.gov)

I am writing to request that LS Power Grid Maine not be granted a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for the Aroostook Renewable Gateway. My understanding is the PUC needs to consider various factors including nontransmission alternatives, public health and safety, scenic, historic and recreational values as well as how close the lines will be to homes. LSPGM has not provided any evidence of these considerations in establishing their routes nor have they engaged…

The Climate Change-Industrial Complex is an Existential Threat

By Chris Talgo

On January 17, 1961, President Dwight D. Eisenhower issued his Farewell Address, in which he warned that the United States must “guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence… by the military-industrial complex.” While Ike was correct in his assessment of the dangers posed by the military-industrial complex during the early years of the Cold War, a new, more dire threat to…

Our View: Communities must step up on housing – or step aside

Local control of housing in Maine has resulted in high costs and low supply. Something has to change.

A report from the Mills administration …

Let’s see what the auto workers get in the face of President Biden’s unrealistic demand that would force us to buy Chinese-battery-powered vehicles.

The sheep will remain loyal – just as they are to every other radical idea – because to resist is to be uncool or, worse, deplatformed from woke society.

But the “irredeemable deplorables” (who buck the system) are getting restless about an all-out plunge into the uncharted waters of EV world – a world dominated by China and its…

Advocates of Net Zero policies repeatedly reassure the public that they are advancing cheap, green energy with the promise of vast numbers of lucrative green jobs and world leadership for the U.K. in selected green technologies.

Unfortunately for the hard pressed British electorate, ‘cheap, green energy’ is nothing more than an empty political slogan arrived at by a dishonest sleight of hand. Specifically, the…
