Dixfield - 2 Selectmen Terms to Expire

Just a quick note: In the Lewiston Sun Journal there was a short article on nominations. I found out that 2 selectmen, Steve Donahue and Norrine Clark's terms are set to expire.

 

Therefore, I went right to the town office and took out papers and will be running for one of these seats. I only need 25 signatures for the nomination papers, which will not be a problem. Wish me luck.

PTC Update?

Does anyone have any new information on when the PTC will be presented to Congress AGAIN? Or if there is any deadline when these carpetbaggers can't submit it to Congress?

Frozen in Place - Woodstock Turbines Dead Still Today

As I travelled West on Route 2 in Dixfield just before the center of town, I looked to my left at the Woodstock wind project and low and behold not a single turbine was spinning. Proof positive of the absolute inefficiency of these abberations.

Email Response to Rep. Mike Michaud

Here is the email response I sent to Rep. Michaud's office:

 

US Rep. Michaud. I know one of your staff will read this but I will take this message to the citizens of Dixfield. I received your "generic" mail response to my concerns regarding the PTC and wind turbines. In this "generic" letter it states:

"I understand the concerns some have expressed with wind energy, as it involves placing wind turbines on our pristine Maine coastlines and mountains. These turbines are…

I am typing the full letter response here that I received from Rep. Michaud. I typed certain areas in bold:

That is why I appreciate your taking the time to get in touch with me and why I come home to Maine nearly every weekend.

New Portland Maine enacts wind ordinance----C'mon Dixfield, "Get on Board!"

The rules limit wind turbines to less than 200 feet in height and prohibit any that require lighting. Setbacks are determined based on a formula that considers turbine height, sound levels and the number of turbines.

The ordinance requires a developer to complete a shadow flicker study that examines the area within a 2-mile radius of any turbine. It prohibits turbine blades that glint in the sun.…

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/
