2 Year, $15 million from taxpayers going to pay electric bills (for some)

Electric bills are very high.

A good portion of that increase is due to legislative actions granting wind, solar and battery projects premium payments for their cruddy power received directly from the ratepayers. NOTE: The actual cost is hidden from disclosure on monthly bills = NO TRANSPARENCY!!!

Intended consequences always included jacking up rates from these renewable programs to allocate to non-paying electric customers…

CMP and a peek at transparency

CMP explains the July increase in electric pricing, but, where is the PUC?, Where is the OPA? Where are the politicians that caused this mess?
There is no use hiding it from the public, CMP and Versant have disclosed the facts and the facts show legislators, media, climate activists and lobbyists were outright lying about wind, solar and batteries lowering electric prices. The cost of Net Energy Billing, a predominantly…

Apple’s creepy new climate change ad proposes killing all of us to “save the planet”…

"Remember back when the solution to save the planet was planting more trees? Well, today, Bill Gates suggests a different approach: cutting down trees and burying them. It’s a bizarre twist in the ongoing environmental clown show brought to us by the cultists on the left."

There is no smart way or rational path to a renewable future

"The Texas grid did not almost fail on September 6 because it was too hot outside. The Texas grid did not almost fail because Texans were using too much electricity. The Texas grid almost failed because $29 billion of federal, state, and local subsidies over the last 18 years have left Texans relying on renewable energy sources that cannot generate electricity when it is most needed."…

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.
