While the Washington Examiner said just a week ago that Wind and Solar PTC was probably DEAD,

http://www.windtaskforce.org/profiles/blogs/wind-and-solar-credits-...

it seems that it just won't go away.  Now our representatives have decided maybe the oil shipping ban should be lifted and they will allow the wind and solar PTC to go forward.  Isn't it funny that these Bozos in Washington who are supposed to look out for the good of the people, are actually screwing us with both ideas.  Shipping our oil overseas will raise oil prices at a time when we are finally seeing it return to nearly where it was before BHO took over in 2009.  Adding the PTC back for wind and solar will also raise electricity rates and obviously TAXES to pay for it.  We are talking almost a trillion dollars over 10 years!!!  Man I could sure use some of that money to create REAL JOBS and buy groceries!

It was and it always will be about global  wealth re-distribution.

It was and always will be a total farce based on psychological control and green brain washing  of the masses,to prevent exceptional countries from remaining that way.

Remember,there is no  "legally controlling authority " in this bogus and useless agreement.

It is about the  left patting themselves on the  back thinking they obtained something,which they have not.

It is a good cop bad cop routine with all these crooked bastards being in on it. When the Presidential elections roll around, it is the most believable of these liars that gets elected.

The Washington Examiner put this one out on 10 Dec 2015:

Dems (yes, Dems) push oil subsidies in championing wind credits

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/new-push-by-democrats-could-benef...

I have been watch the back-and-forth of politicians as they negotiate with our lives.  The repugs want riches selling oil and seem willing to let the wind PTC, which is destroying lives, environments and economies, be continued by the dumbocrats.  Aren't we all sick of being crushed under the foot of corporate greed that purchases legislators to perpetrate this abuse?  It looks to me like it's time to reinstate the tar-and-feathers approach to political indifference toward citizens.

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/
