To Democrats on the EUT Committee, Start Listening

So, yesterday, March 20, at the EUT Committee Room, we saw the difference between the people who are paid to provide testimony and those that are not. 

The Public Hearing was scheduled for 1 pm, but because of work taken up in the House and Senate, the Public Hearing did not start until 5:15 pm.

Although the bill being heard wasn't a rally-busting topic, whether to allow the 100-megawatt limit on hydro power to be removed in the renewable portfolio standard, a couple people not…

Panel recommends rejecting Sears Island conservation bill

Maine Public | By Peter McGuire

Published March 19, 2025 at 4:08 PM EDT

Lawmakers on the Environment and Natural Resources Committee have voted 10-2 against supporting a measure to conserve Sears Island entirely.

The bill, from Rep. Reagan Paul, R-Winterport, would extend a conservation easement that covers three quarters of the state-owned island onto the remaining parcel, set aside for commercial development under a 2009 agreement.

But a majority of lawmakers said…

GOP Lawmakers Look to Revive Defunct Property Tax Stabilization Program for Maine’s Senior Citizens

To fund this badly needed tax relief, cut spending and start with eviscerating all the green nonsense. The insiders have put way too much of the green in their pockets. Gravy train must end for these scoundrels.

EXCERPTS

If someone told Christina Heiniger several years ago that a solar farm was coming to her hometown of Trenton, she would have thought it was great news.

But after three solar farms were proposed in the roughly 28-square-mile town — including one project that looked to span 300 acres — she…

Bill proposes visual barriers around solar farms in Maine

And how about visual and sound protection from giant onshore wind turbines? Hopefully all federal freebies presently handed over to the constellation of criminals will stop wind projects once and for all. Has not the "temporary" wind Production Tax Credit introduced in the early 90's exceeded all possible definitions of "temporary", or are decision makers simply way too buyable? DOGE it.

Program Failure Alert, Maine NEB and RPS Head on Collision

A real battle is ongoing between several NEB project developers and the Maine PUC. The argument is about the treatment of Renewable Energy Credits(RECs) associated with NEB projects that provide "Behind the Meter" Output.

Behind the Meter is simply the amount of solar panel(s) power that is allocated to a customer's electric demand. It is called "Behind the Meter" because it appears unmetered to the utility and "net metering"…

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.
