A California-based energy company will develop and build a utility-scale wind farm across thousands of acres of commercial timberland in Southern Aroostook’s unorganized territory.
Coming on the heels of the failed King Pine wind project, County Line wind farm, owned by Clearway Energy Group LLC, intends to generate 800 megawatts for the planned Northern Maine Renewable Energy Development Program.
Despite the potential for…

"The transmission upgrades will also allow for more growth in the region and enable more climate-friendly electrification of existing infrastructure, said the CMP spokesperson."
As state regulators review the proposed project, residents question whether it’s needed.

This is simply a duplicate of a post published on July 23, 2018, over eight years ago. The list is almost certainly not current. But I believe the basic facts are the same: Most importantly, WIND ORDINANCES WORK. But they must be done right and clearly, model ordinances that likely reflect any and all possible changes since 2018 likely exist. I would encourage anyone who is concerned to contact a few of the towns listed below to become armed. Please post any updated info or corrections in…

EXCERPT:
"Promoting information symmetry in rate cases, so intervenors don’t have to fight protracted discovery battles just to get the financial data needed to challenge a utility’s rate hike"
Geez, just like the wind projects you relentlessly support NRCM. They're planned for years and the public only hears of the project at virtually only the last minute.
Got hypocrisy NRCM and friends?…

The Maine Department of Marine Resources announced on Tuesday that it plans to conduct another round of research in the Gulf of Maine to study marine life near a proposed offshore wind development.
The winter bottom trawl survey is scheduled to begin the week of January 11, 2027, and continue…

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.
