ISO-NE has a Plan for Increased Demand and No Significant Future Reliable Supply. KICK THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD

With nothing but solar, wind and batteries offering new generation in the ISO-NE network, the people in charge of overseeing adequate electricity supply in New England have decided to ignore the loads that data centers will add to demand by saying they will have to bring their own power plants.See Below:

What they do not address is how AI proposals to businesses will drive up the need to increase the electricity consumption to increase business productivity. The can keeps being kicked down the road.

ISO-NE Response to Data Centers:

"While ISO-NE recognizes that high prices can serve an important function in the capacity market to signal
reduced supply or an increase in native demand (or both), data centers are a generational disruption. Given the
present supply chain, siting, and permitting challenges in New England, the signals created by these new large
loads’ participation may not elicit sufficient timely response unless they develop their own generation concurrent with their data center’s development. We have seen in other regions that the development timelines for data centers can be significantly shorter that the timeframes associated with building new generation."

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.
