Offshore wind is unpopular with locals, and opponents made their voices heard at a public forum last week in Ocean City. Residents mentioned the recent increases in whale deaths; the potential harm to the tourism industry from destruction of historic viewsheds; and the lack of transparency from the state regulator, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities. A local reporter summed up the meeting by saying,…

Construction is expected to commence by July 2024, in the first phase of a long-term plan, according to a news release Wednesday.
The project is expected to require a private sector investment of…

Rep. Golden now needs to realize that there are green propagandists masquerading as "environmental groups" a lot closer to home than the Monterey Aquarium in California. He also needs to understand there is nothing good about wind power - offshore or onshore. I doubt he will, or he already knows this but is on a short leash from the higher ups.

"The Costs Of Wind Production Tax Credits Provided In The IRA"
Last year’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was widely greeted as a landmark federal effort on clean energy and climate change. The Congressional Budget Office’s herculean task of scoring this massive piece of legislation that zoomed through Congress in an omnibus spending package was no small feat. But more recent data indicate the subsidies are…

Since 2018 residential supply rates have more than doubled from 7.85 to 17.63 cents per kilowatt hour. During the same period many solar panels and wind turbines have been installed, supposedly to save Maine ratepayers costs and improve the environment. Neither has occurred. We can thank the Legislature for breaking up our two utilities at the behest of former Govs. King and Baldacci for the expedited wind law. Now Gov. Janet Mills wants to continue the damage with offshore wind. Instead of…

Corinth voters will decide whether the town should adopt a solar development moratorium and allow a medical cannabis store to open on Main Street during the annual town meeting later this month.
The temporary ban of commercial solar developments is designed to give the town 180 days — roughly 6 months — to draft rules and regulations for future commercial solar developments to protect residents’ quality of…

I'm not sure at all as to what to think about this article, so I'm just posting it without any real opinion.
That said, we have long thought that Maine's status as the most forested state, along with its relatively low population, dwarfed any effect on CO2 which the fraudulent wind industry claimed would result from wind power. This was detailed here, well over 10 years ago:…

Residents in the northern parts of the state stand to incur the highest costs.............. But if all 750 community solar farms under development in Maine come online by 2024, they are estimated to cost ratepayers more than $270 million per year, according to the Maine Office of the Public Advocate, which represents consumers. That’s more than $330 per year, on average, for customers of Versant Power and Central Maine…

More benefits? That implies there already are benefits when any honest person who has observed wind power in Maine knows that there are none. Just one disaster after another. I guess if we consider the banks hosting offshore accounts and the corrupt politicians who store their bribery proceeds in those accounts....well they benefit, although hopefully they one day pay the price for their crimes.
What "benefit" could possibly compensate for the destruction of…

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/
