The GREEN DREAM is Over Guvnah' Mills, Get Maine's Economy Going With Federal Energy Policy or Forever Be Left Behind

Unless Maine's Authoritarian Governor gets with the times and stops following the corrupt NGO's like NRCM ,Sierra Club  etc. (with their  GREEN Subsidized Scam Dreams which have now ended) and  rejects undo-able low power density  Wind and Solar Subsidized  Scamming , Maine will remain 50th in the nation in many things. Feeding the elitists dream of driving their EV to  a Mt. Katahdin  day hike  and then  back  to Augusta on one charge of their  Tesla is just not going to happen for most.  Is the Elitist's  Green Dream that Guvnah'  Mills has thrust  on average Mainers  really fair to those that live north of Augusta and want real  jobs, do you think?

 Maine will forever be in "the woods". Well , that may be what many  Mainers want  , to be a refuge for the wealthy  elitists from Augusta  to Portland to  Bean Town to play, but the majority of Maine's  'welfarized" once working independent folks   really would like to be employed don't you think, and not be burdened by totally unnecessary sky high energy policy  perhaps?

Or  just maybe ,Mainers want to sit back and stare at a jumping school   of smelt come spring, pick a bag of  fiddle heads    whilst they pick up their welfare checks and watch some tv on their subsidized wifi, but I really don't think that is the majority case.  There is an Energy Revolution in Dense Fuels  and less costly power under way   and now codified in law . The Green Dream Scam is Dead!  Get with The Real Energy  Program Maine, or face  a sad  economic and high cost energy   future "The Guvnah"  and other elitists have thrust on you. BTW, you can now buy plastic straws Maine (Trump just ended the useless Straw Laws).

No wonder Maine has a bag law though , no one can purchase  many things to fill them anyway  so perhaps many don't mind.

Howevah, it would behoove the 'Guvnah' to allow bags to purchase things too if and when  a common sense  Maine Energy Policy does develop.  A real economy might allow people to fill those  bags!

A non-barter economy (Maine has a huge  non -taxable Black Market  economy just  to survive) might allow the state to obtain  more revenue instead of taxing everyone to death from  the small expendable income they do have.

Energy Secretary’s 1st Order Reverses Drive for Net Zero Carbon Emissions

In his first week in office, Chris Wright put forth a plan to meet the projected rise in energy demand through fossil fuels and nuclear energy.
Steven Kovac
2/10/2025Updated: 2/10/2025
The first secretarial order issued by Chris Wright, secretary of energy, is a nine-point action plan to solve what President Donald Trump has deemed a national energy emergency brought on by the Green New Deal.

Wright ordered a reversal of the pursuit of a “net-zero carbon future,” which was a key objective of the previous administration’s energy department.

Wright stated that net zero policies have done little to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions, raised the cost of energy, jeopardized reliability, and harmed energy and national security.

Challenges confronting the new administration include the high price of gasoline, projected rising demand for electricity, insufficient generation capability, a deteriorating and antiquated transmission grid, and a depleted strategic petroleum reserve.

Trump has repeatedly declared that abundant, dependable, affordable, and clean energy is the United States’ biggest asset and the answer to many of the nation’s problems and needs.

The increased production and export of those energy assets is a main pillar of Trump’s economic plan.

Wright, a 60-year-old engineer and businessman with a background in mineral rights and royalties, fracking, and nuclear technology, wasted no time in directing his department’s 16,000 employees and 100,000 contract workers to get busy implementing the president’s vision for a new “Golden Age” based on U.S. energy dominance.

“Energy is the essential ingredient that enables everything we do,” Wright wrote in the preamble to the secretarial order issued on Feb. 5, two days after he was confirmed by the Senate.

“A highly energized society can bring health, wealth, and opportunity for all.”

Opponents Push Back

The Sierra Club, a national environmental advocacy group, was critical of the new agenda. Executive Director Ben Jealous wrote that the president’s actions “lay bare his determination to undermine the health and wealth of working families by polluting our air and water while ceding ground to China as he attempts to shutter the brand new factories powering our nation with clean energy.”

“Making our communities more dangerous, driving up respiratory and heart disease, increasing our energy bills, and shipping our jobs overseas is the furthest thing from American leadership and the promises he made to support working-class families,” he wrote.

In contrast, the Department of Energy (DOE) secretary’s order stated, “Going forward, the department’s goal will be to unleash the great abundance of American energy,” which, he said, is “needed to power modern life.”

Wright stated that energy matters and “we need more of it, not less.”

A Broad Spectrum of Sources

To increase the supply of energy, the administration’s plan calls for the use of fossil fuels, geothermal energy, hydroelectric energy, and advanced nuclear energy.

As part of that effort, the DOE has been ordered to rapidly deploy and even export the next generation of nuclear power technology.

Describing the federal permitting process as “burdensome,” Wright said the DOE will prioritize making permitting more efficient to enable private sector investors to build the diverse infrastructure needed.

Wright committed his department to identifying and expediting the approval and construction of projects that will “make energy more affordable, reliable, and secure.”

The DOE has been ordered to “remove barriers to progress, including federal policies that make it too easy to stop projects and far too difficult to complete projects.”

Strengthening the reliability and security of the U.S. power grid, including its transmission system, is mandated in the DOE order.

Regarding consumer appliances such as dishwashers and washing machines, the order stated, “The department will pursue a common-sense approach that does not regulate products that consumers value out of the market; instead, affordability and consumer choice will be our guiding light.”

Wright stated in the order that the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) “must be refilled.”

“Unfortunately, the SPR is currently at historically low levels,“ he said. ”We will not permit this to become a new status quo.”

The order also mandates that the DOE ease restrictions on the export of liquified natural gas.

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/
