David Littell Shilling for Wind in Kennebunk

Last night in Kennebunk David Littell, PUC Commissioner whose last day in office is next Friday, was indeed shilling for wind.  He started with a slick video presentation on showcasing dirty belching fossil fuel wind facilities and emphasizing the need for renewable energy.  He spoke of climate change, sea levels rising,  and the melting of Antarctica.  He said nationally we must be at 20% renewable energy By 2030, and transmission is the key to making this happen. Maine must focus on…

Hello Everyone - Emily Figdor is gone From Environment Maine! One wind shill down, Many more to go - And they will!!

EVERYONE - Email our congressional delegation NOW! Tell them all  - Do not vote for extension of the production tax credits - Tell them if they do you will actively campaign against them next election.  And tell Mike Michaud you will not vote for him as Governor.  We have to hold these people accountable!

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/
