The view of Katahdin in the photo is from the east, the site of possible hideous wind "farms" which would destroy one of the greatest views in the northeast, if not the entire U.S. When the so called environmental groups lobbied for the Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument, the towns to the east of Katahdin were promised an economic boom from tourism to the monument as they would be the "gateway communities". Millinocket, already the gateway community to Baxter State Park for the vast…

The scientific community was amazed this week by news of a breakthrough in the generation of power from nuclear fusion, long one of the holy grails of renewable energy.
It’s an exciting development. Maybe one day, fusion sources will be part of a robust mix supplying all the clean energy we need.
But…

Fox News host Tucker Carlson Monday night went to bat for the Maine lobster.
He interviewed guest Rosie Moore, a geoscientist who explained how President Joe Biden’s major push for offshore wind power threatens the extinction of the right whale.
Maine’s lobster industry is under threat from onerous federal regulation because of a fictitious belief on the part of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) regulators that lobster gear is a threat to whales.
Yet…

A year after voters soundly rejected a power line corridor through western Maine, the Maine Supreme Judicial Court has ruled that the referendum was unconstitutional. The court also ruled that the lease at the heart of the dispute over the transmission line was valid, negating a central argument of opponents of the project.
Whether you support or oppose the New England Clean Energy Connect (NECEC), this is a troubling outcome, mostly…

Maine Public | By Kevin Miller
Published November 29, 2022
Maine's highest court has sided with the state and Central Maine Power over a lease needed to construct a controversial transmission line through western Maine.
In a ruling Tuesday morning, Maine's Supreme Judicial Court said that the Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands "acted within its constitutional and statutory authority" when granting CMP a lease through state-owned lands in 2020.
The lease…

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/

Sign up today and lend your voice and presence to the steadily rising tide that will soon sweep the scourge of useless and wretched turbines from our beloved Maine countryside. For many of us, our little pieces of paradise have been hard won. Did the carpetbaggers think they could simply steal them from us?
We have the facts on our side. We have the truth on our side. All we need now is YOU.
