As dawn approaches, New England gets 4% of its electricity from burning oil.
As more solar and wind projects impact electricity generation and natural gas production decreases, oil becomes a must have backups for all other resources.
From the ISO-NE Emissions Report
- Oil’s increase: More electricity came from oil-fired generators in 2022 than in the previous four years combined. At 1,845 GWh, production from these resources in 2022 was eight times higher than in 2021. Oil has a high sulfur content, so SO2 emissions rise when these resources produce more power. Several factors contributed to the increase, including high natural gas prices driven by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, unplanned generator outages during the summer’s warmest days, and the cold snap on December 24, 2022. New England’s energy markets select the lowest-priced resources to meet consumer demand, so oil-fired generators are dispatched more frequently when natural gas prices are high.

We do not care about Kerry’s huge CO2 footprint.
We care about what nonsense comes out of his mouth, which has not been connected to his brain for decadesThe UN chief, Antonio Guterres, scare-mongered about a “boiling earth”.
.
The Kerry and Guterres pronouncements are relentlessly magnified by the IPCC, associated entities and mainstream Media. They are colluding to keep people misinformed.
.
COP28 had a gigantic CO2 footprint, with 88,000 registered in the blue zone and 40,000 in the green zone,including the world’s elite, with jet planes, yachts, staying at 5-star hotels, etc.
They spouted a pseudo-science, based on subjective air temperature models for a non-existent problem.
The image of the temperature models is a distortion of reality, as seen through the lens of biased observers
The essential shortcoming of the IPCC-sanctioned climate models is, they do not reflect the reality of objective data, such as measured by satellites since 1979.
The divergence between subjective, IPCC-sanctioned models and satellite reality is mind boggling. See image 1
https://www.windtaskforce.org/profiles/blogs/natural-forces-cause-p...The US had a coup d’etat in 2020, and had Jan6 riots to protest that malfeasance by a free people,
Those riots were aided and abetted by Pelosi (in charge of US House security), etc., and FBI, DOJ, etc., in a false-flag manner.
The consequences of the “Election” of someone in the basement was worse than the Japanese inflicting Pearl Harbor on the US.

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.
