Although certainly better than what was there before, l see more potential problems with LURC being involved .Whose f...ing state and constitution is it anyway?

That depends on the voice of citizens,too weak and disconnected as of late.

LURC will  merely become wind's graft target and whore,and become financially beholden to their scam. That is why the bastards , in the final moments ,tried and succeeded in amending it in…

The time is overdue for them on this issue in Maine.

"The Sierra Club is upset because the California Public Utilities Commission (PUC) built a sophisticated and unbiased computer model to analyze the cost-effectiveness of new solar policy proposals. But despite all the Sierra Club’s political clout, the computer model determined is that none of the solar policy proposals are cost effective.

"MAINE, A GREAT STATE TO LEAVE"

If the wind rush in Maine is not stopped and its  resultant build out  for peak power transmission lines not halted by  Mainers and the PUC, the state's new motto will indeed become the above.

It will become cost-prohibitive for business to live there, and for many residents  to pay their electric bills.

Remember folks,the modus operandi and "business plan" of wind companies has not changed in Maine since the inception of PL-661 in 2008 (Expedited Wind Law).

The law was designed by big wind and numerous self-serving unctuous politicians (think Angus King)  and  deceptive "enviro"lawyers  to destroy Mainers' constitutional  and  property rights and to enable their scheme. Other ignorant or ill-informed politicians at the time "assumed" the benefits of Industrial Wind (there has never…

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. 

Governor LePage should immediately place a halt to all further wind projects until  detailed cost/benefit analysis is undertaken of the wind industry in Maine.

In addition , an ethical "audit" should be initiated by the…
