Expensive Offshore Wind Farm Becomes Operational

From the Canada Free Press is an article talking about how ridiculously expensive the Block Island Offshore Wind Project is and how it is not really a viable solution.  It cost more than 10 times more than a gas plant that would supply the same amount of energy, but more reliable and without the transmission problems.  Denmark, a country that is always pushed in our face about having almost all "renewable" energy, is so energy poor, their citizens pay a huge part of their monthly pay for…

Why Are We Worried About A Few Measly Degrees of Warming?

NASA has made a dire prediction we are doomed.  Kind of sounds like Global Warming, huh?  Looks like another fear mongered government boondoggle to go spend a lot of unneeded dollars on.

BDN Beating the Drum Hard on Climate control Letters to the Editor.

Two Letters today on having Senator Collins fight the battle for Trump's appointments to EPA, Energy and Secy of State.  I'm not sure she really has to be told that, as she votes with the Dems alot.  Just waiting to see if they post my Letter about killing Eagles.  They have not even referenced that regulation was signed.  Anyone taking bets?…

Final wind-turbine rule permits thousands of eagle deaths

Griffon-vultures-Navarre-Spain.jpeg (279×413)

New rules by the EPA and Fish and Wildlife have allowed wind farms to kill birds for the next 30 years.  "The new rule will conserve eagles while also spurring development of a pollution-free energy source intended to ease global warming, a cornerstone of President Barack Obama’s energy plan, said Fish and Wildlife Service Director Dan Ashe."  How exactly does that…

First Offshore Commercial Wind Farm Starts up in Rhode Island

BlockIsland-LastTurbine_DeepwaterWind

Deepwater Wind has started operation of its five turbine 30 MW installation off the coast of Block Island.  As I read the article, I noticed they are selling the power to the installer of the 20 mile underwater cable, National Grid, for 24 cents a kwh to go up 3.5% annually for 20 years.  Anyone out there think this is a good price?  I think our Emera prices are in the 6-8 cents kwh right now, at least according to my bill.  At a rate of increase for 20…

It was announced today that Bill Gates is forming a cabal with four other big investors to develop new, cheap clean energy sources including wind and solar.  They all say we should be done putting carbon into…

The ALARMISM is even more ramped up now! OMG we are all going to DIE!

A climate change diplomat (I didn't know we had any of those) has written a piece that John "I Am A Viet Nam Vet" Kerry should go to the first meeting of the Climate Change group on Nov 15th and tell them we are in and we are staying.  When are these people going to realize their run on the government Gravy Train is OVER?  True energy independence will not be achieved with costly wind and solar, providing few jobs and no long term quality…

Thoughts

Yesterday LI sent out a blast to respond to the RFP article in the CommonWealth magazine.  I responded to them with a counter article and will see if it is printed in an upcoming issue.  I have included it below.

To the Citizens of Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island: Your lust for green power is putting Maine residents and their wilderness land in severe jeopardy.

I spent several weeks this summer going up to my camp, across an idyllic,…

More Propaganda from The Left. When will we see the end?

"We are witnessing a transformation of World power!" is the headline.  All this when we are seeing those that have tried wind and solar for decades are now bailing out of it because of cost and reliability concerns.  In developing nations, it is hard to imagine wind and solar being compatible with their very limited transmission infrastructure.  More "Sky Is Falling" BS.…

More Reasons to Get Out of the UN

The UN, that irrelevant body of nations that has not gotten anything right since the 60's, is at it again.  With all the turmoil going on in the world, mostly based on religious extremes, they have been promoting the idea that it is all based on CLIMATE CHANGE.  They have taken on the role as leader in flim flamming the world population that we here in the US are going to have to pay for everyone else's problems, and our Executive…

OUTRAGE!!! The EPA and ethanol: Something smells

Our corrupt gubment' continues to get more and more committed to the asinine theory that ethanol is better for the environment than gasoline, though we all know it increases the pollution factor of motor vehicle emissions.  The EPA has not put forth required reports and this shows that real science will not support their lies.  They are actually telling us they won't have good data until 2024 . . . eight years from now!  Amazing!

This is another phony agency that has to be deleted…

They Are At It Again! New Dire Warnings Like The Inconvenient Truth.

Since we had a record setting winter in Alaska for the months from January to April, The new predictions are that we will live in an unsustainable heat wave for the next three centuries.  And this could happen as soon as our grandchildren ( already in their teens ) raise their children.  How are they ignoring the last twenty years of zero temperature rise?  We always hear from their "scientific experts" (trolls) that weather is not climate.  Now they are telling us that it is. It doesn't…

More Alarmism From The World Bank . . . . When Will The Madness End?!?!?!

It seems to me I have read about droughts happening for thousands of years at various times.  Sometimes they last a few years or a decade.  Many of our large population centers are built in areas that are very arid to begin with.  They were built there because people like to live where the weather is nice, not always raining. This article is calling for sea levels to rise and contaminate ground water.  I wonder how the people in Texas and the mid-west feel about a drought.  We have been told…

UNBELIEVABLE: This Is What The U.S. Army Says They’re Focused On By Michael Ware

It is strange if you think about it too long. How much things have changed in such a short time. How just the thinking has changed. Twenty-five years ago we were worried about nukes and WMDs in Iraq. We had a focus, but we were by and large at peace.

Now we are faced with a resurgent Russia pushing in several areas, ISIS, Afghan Terrorists, and a very unstable Middle East that seems ready to fall into despotism. And the strong military that was set to stand and did stand in our and…

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.
