Governor Mills, What are You Doing about Maine's Low Inventory of Oil and Gas?

READOUT OF ENERGY SECRETARY GRANHOLM'S MEETING WITH NEW ENGLAND GOVERNORS
 
WASHINGTON, D.C.— Today, Secretary Granholm held a virtual meeting with New England Governors representing Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, 
Rhode Island, and Connecticut. The meeting follows the Department of Energy's request to meet with Governors in response to their late July letter. International events have had an outsized impact on domestic energy markets, resulting in significantly lower product inventories and higher prices than previous years. The purpose of the meeting was to strengthen partnerships and increase collaboration on developing solutions to achieve our shared commitment to do everything possible to mitigate and avoid unanticipated energy disruptions. 

The Secretary reiterated that the Biden administration is committed to improving how the federal government works with states to develop solutions and engage necessary stakeholders to ensure American’s fuel and electricity needs are met in an affordable way. Already, the Administration has called on Congress to increase LIHEAP funding, which is a key lifeline to keeping many American households safe and warm during the winter season. Additionally, the Secretary underscored the concern about the low levels of privately-held refined product inventories in key regions, including New England, and its ask of oil and gas companies to ensure they are building adequate inventories to handle disruptions from hurricanes or other events. 

Given the critical importance of regional coordination to ensure appropriate preparedness and response, the Secretary thanked the governors for their unified approach to meeting New Englanders energy needs and reinforced that the administration will continue to enhance its partnership with states to navigate the various risks to energy and electricity reliability and affordability in the coming weeks and months.

Mill's energy policy will destroy Maine businesses and the budgets of every household in the state. She took in 4.5 billion dollars of treasury printed money and complies with all the attached federal government strings.  

She is inept, a phony and a puppet of the democrat party. 

Her only management skill evolved from her prior cocaine habit.

We are going to need a sober and practical governor to fix the mess she made of state bureaucracies. The DOT putting up solar developments???

Mills, who poses as an energy expert in photo ops, has been saving wind and sun in great big reservoirs, so they will be available for use during the winter, sort of like Alicia in Lalaland.

Biden’ posse of energy experts know exactly how that works.

It works great in the failed state of California during its historically frequent heat waves.

About 350,000 long-time residents are leaving California each year, including Elon Musk to Texas, who thinks chickenshit rules/regulations by nincompoop bureaucrats make California a tough place to do business, and the entire 18-member family of my wife’s sister, grandparents to grandchildren, to Idaho. SHE SAID WE CANT BELIEVE WE DID NOT DO THAT YEARS AGO.

Pacific Gas and Electric has been putting up transmission systems that throw off sparks, when overloaded, during heat waves, which set forests and communities on fire, and cause much pollution and CO2, far more CO2 than do the people each year.

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.
