After years of dealing with the wind issue, I can say with sadness that Maine is a very dirty little state, politically.
It is a shame how unctuous political elites have manipulated the legislative process as it concerns the wind scam.
An ethical "audit" should be initiated by the administration to review the process of law (or lack of it ) that has created the outrageous breaches to constitutional citizen rights that…

Do you think the title here is true?
Indeed, for 8 long years,citizens have been trying to get their rights back after the passage of the "Heinous" Wind Law (PL-661) of 2008. It seems like little or next to nothing has been achieved at times, does it not.?
..SEE WHY!!!!!!!!!

For the reasons of climate change and the lowering of CO2 levels (and the prevention of Portland sinking into the bay which is imminent) this must be done. Who cares how much land is used!
Ex. Rep. Jon Hinck and his enviro-lawyer wife Juliot ( "Windmill" Hinck) Browne may even support it (if there is money to be made) so it must be a wonderful thing indeed.
Who cares if all the power leaves the area and increase S.Portland's electrical…

So, here is the theory presented as fact concerning the "Green Market" .
This useless,feel good non-enforceable "Climate Change" deal has always been about wealth redistribution from developed nations to the third world developing nations.
In the hopes of preserving "fairness" and in the interest of preserving world "peace" via wealth transfer to the "less fortunate" nations, a psychological scheme of "Green-Washing" and climate change hysteria has been created and…

The House of Cards the DEP has and is dealing with in its permitting process, supported by many Maie state politicians.

The major question here is , Will This Scamming Company made of llcs, yieldcos and potentially fraudulent hedge fund manipulations even be able to pay their wind bills to towns , lease holders and others required of projects in Maine in the future?
How does DEP even dare allow projects to be approved based on adequate "Financial capacity" projections , which is a DEP requirement for project…

There is no doubt that "Unique Circumstances" allowed this beneficial decision for PPDLW to stand.
Are all other wind projects in Maine now on the fast track?
KILL PL-661 . pack BEP with pro scenic quality Maine folks, and get DEP away from rubber stamping projects?
The Fight Continues unfortunately.
Who is the "Supreme Judge" as to what is beautiful about each area of this unique state?
Unless the citizens get much more active in the aesthetic…

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/
