A question asked about the Northern Maine, Troy Jackson proposal to build wind projects in the County and have the costs applied to Maine electric bills

Q43: "How should generation proposals evaluate their ability to bid or contract for capacity in ISO-NE if information about system upgrades is not available? "
Good Question, but there is a project that already has this information and the inside track to winning the Troy Jackson Jackpot

The climate change cabal has succeeded in raising the price of electricity to an amount that enables wind and solar projects to claim that they can save electric costs.

With The Rejection of NECEC, Maine Could Be the Black Sheep of the Regional New England Electric Network.

With the rejection of NECEC, Maine could become the black sheep of the regional New England electric network. 

Sure, New Hampshire rejected the same project, but New Hampshire already has a DC transmission line carved out, North to South, passing through the state. This line has no connections within New Hampshire, It is the true "Extension Cord" from Hydro-Quebec to Groton, Massachusetts.
As warnings from ISO-NE of impending struggles to provide the region…

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.
