When you have something to sell like a wind turbine, Sierra Club Memberships or maybe even make-believe carbon capture credits,  it is always best to leave out unpleasant facts.                                                                                                                                                                                         

In the climate change animation shown during the Olympics, a segment was shown on Greenland’s melting Ice Sheet. As I watched I noticed that there were no graphics for the last few years. So I looked it up and guess what?   The melting of Greenland’s ice sheet peaked in 2012 and the ice sheet has been growing.

The whole point here is to once again expose the character of this green mafia. What ever the truth is, you will never hear it so they can continue to rob and enslave society.

It is strange how I too am able to use even Google Earth's 1930 to 2016 images to create a time lapse that gives the appearance of melting Greenland, however the images from 2007 to date seem to show an increase in snow coverage, though I can not determine the height of the snow pack.

I have three questions.  Who can answer or get answers? Please.
1. Do wind projects buy strips of power from ISO-NE to satisfy the Power Purchase Agreements?
2. Why are 3 WIND projects in Maine in top ten list of purchasers from Bangor Hydro? 
3.  Do you think dynamiting of head waters and leaching concrete pads will ensure a future of pure drinking water for the good of the public?

Hi Alice-


Thank you for your questions.  Here are the DEP’s responses:

 

1.       This question is more appropriate for the Maine Public Utilities Commission.

2.       I don’t have an answer of why wind projects may be large purchasers of electricity.

3.       As you are aware, the DEP has many provisions under the Site Location of Development Act, the Maine Storm Water Management Law and the Maine Wind Energy Act that deal with the construction and water quality issues you are concerned about.  If a proposed projects meets these statutory and regulatory standards, we are required to approve the project.  If you believe additional, more stringent requirements are necessary, then changes to the law and/or the rules related to these issues will be required.

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/
