President Trump is expected to soon fill key White House energy jobs — relying on Washington energy insiders and former staffers to Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) to help shape his administration's environmental agenda.

One such former aide, George David Banks, is expected to take on the White House international energy and environment portfolio in the National Security Council, according to sources close to the administration.

In that position, he's expected to play a leading role…

Again, we see the media fail to link the building of transmission lines to wind projects.

New England utilities, including CMP, have been on a building spree to upgrade the high-voltage lines that move power from state to state. Some of the construction is meant to upgrade obsolete equipment. Other work is needed to meet new requirements for reliability and security, and to prevent…

PORTLAND, Maine — Houlton’s municipal electric utility on Tuesday received final approval to disconnect from the northern Maine power grid and connect directly with Canadian lines.

Houlton Water Co. is in the final stages of securing a $5.4 million loan to fund about 11 miles of new power lines connecting it directly to the electric grid maintained by New Brunswick Power, which it expects to complete by the end of 2018.…

The center’s report in January revealed that a single supplier, Constellation and its corporate predecessors, had won every bid to be the program’s energy supplier since its inception. As part of its agreement with Maine PowerOptions, Constellation, a subsidiary of energy behemoth Chicago-based Exelon, pays all of the program’s operating expenses, including the salaries of the quasi-state electricity consortium’s staff.…

Last month, treasury secretary nominee Steven Mnuchin told the Senate Finance Committee that he would retain and support the PTC phase-out but that might change once President Trump is made aware of the cost and true impacts of Big Wind.

During the month of February, we will be posting a series of articles that examine wind energy in the U.S. and offer specific recommendations that, if implemented by the new administration, will help reset priorities and ensure the interests of the…

AUGUSTA, Maine — It didn’t go far enough for Gov. Paul LePage, but Maine utility regulators rankled advocates on Tuesday when they rolled back a policy allowing homeowners with solar panels to be credited for excess power sold to the grid.

The move was opposed by pro-solar groups, and it’s likely to be followed by another bid in the Maine Legislature to liberalize solar policy........Dylan Voorhees, clean energy director for the Natural Resources Council of Maine, called the…

On land, 97 percent of that wind power is proposed for Maine, which still requires significant power line improvements to get electricity from wind-rich areas to population centers. The same goes for getting Canadian hydropower into the New England system.

“Connecting wind farms in northern New England or bringing hydro energy from Canada will require extensive transmission expansion, which will be costly and take years to build,” van Welie said.

Considering offshore wind…

Environment Massachusetts says the bill is designed to complement and strengthen the Global Warming Solutions Act, legislation passed in 2008 that requires the state to reduce its carbon emissions by at least 80% below 1990 levels by 2050.......Last year, Gov.

In addition, the bill requires utilities to…

Angus -be sure to show him the data on UMPI's wind turbine that the University has been covering up for just under eight years now.

The Alliance for Wise Energy Decisions (AWED) is an informal coalition of individuals and organizations interested in improving national, state, and local energy and environmental policies. Our premise is that technical matters like these should be addressed by using Real Science (please consult WiseEnergy.org for more information).

A key element of AWED’s efforts is public education. Towards that end, every three weeks we put together a…

(Bloomberg) — Wind-power skeptic Donald Trump’s proposed tax reform may have an unintended consequence: threatening wind farms’ balance sheets......The president-elect’s proposal to cut the corporate tax rate to as low as 15% may curb availability of an esoteric, but critical, clean-energy financing mechanism known as tax equity......That could significantly curb businesses’ need for tax credits. It would also drag down wind developers’ after-tax internal rates of…

What about the federal government's recently issued "KILLING PERMIT" of 6,200 eagles a year to protect the Wall Street crowd and other insiders who make billions off the U.S. taxpayer from wind?

The article states the US population is 30,000 pairs but fails to note what it used to be. Some estimates put it at 250,000 pairs in the 1700's.

Why should we care?  Well, for one, Maine's Biodiversity Research Institute just labeled eagles a problem in today's Portland Press Herald:

"In Maine, where the breeding population of great cormorants is small and efforts to save them are underway, the bald eagles are a problem, said Chris DeSorbo, director of the raptor program at the Biodiversity Research Institute in Portland". …

This much needed letter appears in the Hartford Business Journal. It's the people of Vermont (actually a former Lt. Governor) going directly to the people of Connecticut telling them of the problems their wind power "needs" cause for both Vermont and Connecticut.

More letters like this are sorely needed from all of northern New England to all the media in CT, MA and RI whose corrupt legislative leaders are a large reason these fraudulent projects are still getting built. The average…
