Maine Power to Maine People
Governor Mills, instead of your staff approaching the cost of energy problem with more handouts, the people of Maine want systemic reform which begins with the immediate moratorium on "power purchase agreements", an out-of-market Ponzi scheme. The PUC is in the midst of developing a term sheet to burden Maine ratepayers with the $1.8 billion transmission line originating in Aroostook County and slicing and dicing its way through the length of Maine. Immediately halt this boondoggle. A 152-megawatt solar plant is about to start construction in Central Maine with a power purchase agreement that rewards the developer, the purchaser and corporations in New England while the ratepayers will continue to see ghastly electric bills. Immediately stop this grid manipulating monster.

Dan, Your "power to the people " post needs wider distribution than the CTFWP, which is preaching to the choir. These issues require constant public reminders because the press doesn't do any investigative journalism. Yours needs to be published as an open letter which has to be paid for. I've recently paid For a. letter in the LSJ about the UMS fiasco. recenetly I wrote a detailed. complaint to the public advocate and got a canned reply that did not address any of my questions. I'd send into you if you provide an email. Dudleyg.gray@gmail.com

Lake has not conceded to her Democrat opponent Katie Hobbs despite most mainstream media outlets calling the gubernatorial race for Hobbs on Monday.

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.
