An analysis of Critical Insight mission and philosophy , my comments in red
Our Mission & PhilosophyThe underpinnings of our company are accurately conveyed in the phrase "Research for Precise, Pragmatic Direction."That means what the client wants to obtain , he will obtain . At Critical Insights, we provide research-based solutions to NRCM current problem and strategic recommendations that aid our clients in making smart, well-informed decisions. In short, we translate data into information, with the expressed goal of results that inform and enhance the decision-making process .....which in this case is to brainwash maine voters in approving NRCM work for the past 20 years and thus enhance the climate for acceptance of their pro wind bias , Philosophically, our hallmarks as an organization are accuracy, integrity and a commitment to our clients' success....that means the poll will always say what the client wants it to say Our meticulous and rigorous attention to detail throughout the research process results in reliable data and, most importantly, data that is actionable. We view our clients as our partners( that is scarily non objective ). We also have a commitment to a process that is transparent: We believe that clients make wise decisions based on good research, (like co2 avoided emissions results )and we encourage our clients to participate in that research process by observing how the research is being gathered. This takes many forms, from encouraging clients to observe focus groups either on-site or remotely, or to make use of the software we have installed that allows clients to listen in on telephone interviews remotely (big brother anyone ,pretty soon we will have airport type facial feature changes detectors), or watch the progress of a web-based survey via a specially constructed client site. We believe that the research process itself should be easily understood and accessible, and work diligently to remove the "smoke and mirrors" approach to research that many clients have experienced at other firms. monique aniel ,co chair ctfwp |

The following is excerpted from a Critical Insights employee profile: http://www.criticalinsights.com/ourpeople.asp
"Prior to joining Critical Insights, Ms. McInnis was the Assistant Director to the Muhlenberg College Institute of Public Opinion where she assisted the Director through all stages of telephone survey development and analysis. In addition, she was a research assistant for the American Public Power Association in Washington, D.C. She is the co-author of Wind Power Handbook for Public Power Utilities."

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.
