"Transmission bottlenecks that prevent Maine’s wind generation from reaching load centers in Massachusetts and Connecticut could be relieved by allowing large and small generators to pool their interconnection requests." 

To me this sounds like the planning of our great "Wind" experiment was seriously flawed and rushed to production to scoff up the huge tax and construction subsidies. We have all known that the current…

Refinery plan called affront to Teddy Roosevelt’s legacy

The ultimate Hypocrisy of the PPH is overwhelming. They import an article all the way from North Dakota to protest an “Affront To The Legacy Of Teddy Roosevelt.” Where were they when the now defunct and bankrupt First Wind, a spawn of King Angus and his cronies, decided to step all over a 2003 Maine Department of Conservation acquisition of lands and established a…

A very interesting and scientifically driven study of how climate change has increased the size of plant life, specifically forests, and increased the size of the plants themselves due to climate change. They specifically note both an increase in the temperature and an increase in the water available is the primary reason this is happening. While this is a real positive aspect of climate change, it is…

For the last 30 years the Energy Policy in the US has been backwards. We have spent too much time trying to develop expensive, unreliable "renewables" like wind and solar and have neglected the innovations in nuclear and hydro. It is far cheaper to build hydro but the government has gotten in the way and we have totally avoided nuclear and the new nuclear technologies. China is eating our lunch while we waste our time on fraudulent claims about wind and solar and storage…

Obama's Energy legacy is failing New England, and even ISO NE is telling us that the shutdown of coal, nuclear and oil plants in New England is going to leave a massive hole in the grid. They are even saying wind and solar can NOT fill the gap as they are not sufficient, don't have grid support and are not reliable enough to work. Within a year or so, Pilgrim will be shut down and all the coal plants will be gone. The green movement is fighting the gas pipeline at all levels, being headed up…

The anti-humanity proposals in Gore's latest initiative have as one of their chief goals the elimination of fossil fuels, full stop. Gore does allow for greater use of natural gas into the 2030s, but he eliminates coal right away. He also allows for oil use to grow into the mid-2020s, but "decarbonize" means just that; his plan inevitably ends with a phase-out of fossil-fuel use. Fortunately for us all—and make no mistake about it, the American people understand this—the…

"Without subsidies, wind power is a loser". From Warren Buffett.  

"I lost my ass in wind." T. Boone Pickens.

Both these massively rich investors have been involved in wind farms and energy development and those are exact quotes from both of them. 

This article makes a good point that Wind has made…

We are up to 39 communities and UT's and counting now of those who do NOT want Industrial Wind Turbines in their backyards. They are spread across the state.\

Maine has been credited with being in the top 10 states in the union for clean energy and CO2 cleanup. Do we really have to do more?…

Anybody notice this in the news of late?

It lends itself to the whole argument of the left and how they are corrupting our government and its policies. This NWO demand that we develop "alternative" energy plans when they are unreliable and unsustainable is part of the plan to divide us…

Grassroots Rising: Paris Agreement is America Last, Taxpayer Last, and Consumer Last

Please join with me in making sure you let the appropriate Senator or Congressman know your feelings about the ridiculous agreement Obama made with the world in 2015.  The article explains the pitfalls we will experience if the agreement is followed through. It is bad policy and bad government. I…

There will be two opportunities to go to a meeting (free) where you can listen to the "Environmentalists" who are willing to destroy Maine and her Wilderness for the good of "Clean Air." One is in Hallowell and the other in Bangor.

Wind Energy Myths Spun By Lobbyists And Salesmen

Industrial wind energy is a net loser: economically, environmentally, technologically and civilly. A recent letter in my local paper by American…

Exposed: How world leaders were duped into investing billions over manipulated global warming data 

• The Mail on Sunday can reveal a landmark paper exaggerated global warming
• It was rushed through and timed to influence the Paris agreement on climate change

The Governor has written a Poignant Letter regarding our policy toward putting wind and solar in our most valuable resource, our pristine wilderness.  He lays out the economic folly of wind and solar and we should all be able to understand the lesson he is trying to teach.  He is a…

Next week Lamar Smith, Chairman of the Science Committee in the House of Representatives, is going to hold a hearing with real climate scientists. Present will be Judith Curry, who recently retired from the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta; policy specialist Roger Pielke, Jr. of the University of Colorado in Boulder; and John Christy, a professor of earth system science at the University of Alabama in Huntsville who was part of the founding of the IPCC.  He has since…

Our beloved Susan Collins, a RINO that poses as a Republican, needs to be Primaried out in her next election. She is not going to vote for Scott Pruitt for EPA chief as he does not share her environmental concerns.  Time to write some letters and work on finding someone to challenge her in her next Primary.  We already know King Angus won't support him, and he needs to go too.  

This writer thinks we should be more like her home state of Iowa.  Anybody out there think Maine is like Iowa? Anybody you know goes to Iowa for vacation?  Anybody here think we need more unemployed refugees?  How about jobs using wind and solar to provide them?  

This is nothing more than lunacy from those that brought Maine into the "Renewable Age".  The media at PPH and BDN just don't get it.  They didn't see, apparently, what happened yesterday.…

The Boston Globe is beating the climate change drum again with new readings saying the Earth has set a new record for warming and this is the third year in a row.  I have a few questions about this though, like what happened to the temperatures of the 1930's which were significantly higher than the ones today, and what about the flat lining of the temperatures of the last 18 years?  And what happened to the Medieval warming Period? And what about 1997?  All these were a lot higher than this…

BOY!  WOULD I LIKE TO GET SOME OF THE STUFF THESE GUYS MUST BE SMOKING! I have never read so many out and out lies from the DOE/AWEA.  This is the biggest puff piece I think I have ever seen.  After reading it I can see turbines in everyone's back yard.  They are going to be able to supply 12% of the US energy grid by 2023.  I don't think they are at 4% yet.  When you get into the analysis, they do hedge a little, A LOT, on the cost of wind compared to fossil fuels.  Their analysis pegs gas…

Boy!  Here is a challenging article for you to read.  I read it, with some difficulty, and still don't know exactly what it says.  It tells about four different ways they take sea water temperatures and the variations they have. In the past most of the sea water temps were taken by ships using buckets, or water taken through water intakes in a kind of random sampling method.  In the last ten years or so, floating, drifting buoys have been used, and now also satellites have been added.  There…
