Bill McKibben blames high electricity prices on not enough renewables (How does he keep a straight face?)

by The Associated Press

January 17, 2026

Where does one begin? Why do the media incessantly propagandize? Where in the mainstream media are the extraordinarily strong counter arguments that correctly demolish virtually everything that McKibben is saying?

So it bears repeating: Why do the media incessantly propagandize?

Maine Public | By Peter McGuire

Hydroelectric power from Quebec started flowing through a new transmission line in Maine on Friday, the culmination of a fraught years-long process aimed at boosting New England's electric supply.

The 145-mile New England Clean Energy Connect line is expected to deliver enough energy to power 1.2 million homes in the region, said Phelps Turner director of clean grid at the Conservation Law…

New England electric customers would be better served if the 8% of new NECEC generation replaced the 7% of wind and solar generation.

Very soon, a brand new source of power will be entering the New England electricity network at a substation in Lewiston Maine. Not that the technology is new. It will be an old tried and true method of generating electricity, hydroelectric power. But, unique to this new power is the fact it will deliver power 24/7/365, a magnificently needed baseload power that New England needs.…

House Democrats Attempt to BAN Maine Wire Reporter from House Chambers

By Steve Robinson

January 7, 2026

As for today’s events, the episode covers what happened and what our response will be as an organization. Democratic leaders and staffers took unprecedented and dishonest steps to bar the Maine Wire’s access to areas of the State House that have always been open to all media and really anyone with a video camera who can behave themselves. Maine has no “press credential” and, outside of Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., the “press…

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/
