Make Maine and America Great Again

      Where are the bills? President Trump has ordered the demise of wind projects, but even this wind bigly blowing on their backs, the feeble Republicans of Maine remain motionless, stymied and completely lacking courage.

    So far two bills regarding renewable energy have been assigned to the EUT Committee. A bill to terminate Net Energy Billing that should include tariffs on all NEB projects to provide reparations to ratepayers who have no NEB participation yet subsidize those that do participate. NEB is absolute socialism.
The other bill is a retread of the 100-megawatt limit on hydro power, which should be an elimination of Renewable Energy Credits that cost ratepayers millions, scamming people to think that Maine is going to be 100% green by forcing ratepayers to buy out-of-state RECs.            This REC market is about to undergo a price explosion as states rush to 100% renewable. President Trump has ordered a severe blow to offshore wind that States had counted on to bolster the number of available RECs.
    The Republicans of Maine just sit by as ratepayers are continually assaulted by policies that Republicans and Democrats both enacted.
    Where is the bill to get Maine out of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative where prices on carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel plants are skyrocketing and accelerating electricity prices so much that no longer does lower natural gas market prices lower the electricity generation costs
        Where is the bill to remove Maine from ISO-NE operations. ISO-NE has become a puppet organization to Massachusetts and the wind, solar and battery storage industries. As if Maine hasn't already endured an overbill of renewable projects, now ISO-NE is preparing to have billions spent to construct new transmission lines in Maine to move wind and solar generation to Southern New England. ISO-NE is no friend to Maine.
    Where is the bill to stop money from Maine ratepayers and taxpayers from going to wind and solar developers. Eliminate Long Term Contracts and buy out the current list of contracts costing Maine people millions. Trump is halting Federal subsidies and Maine people are not going to take up the slack in any sense of the imagination that legislators may want to sneak by us.
      Why isn't Maine negotiating to transfer the Hydro-Quebec contract for electricity sales from NECEC from Massachusetts? The project is in our backyard!
       At this point, Maine energy policies will not succeed in reaching the goals stated in law, they will only cost Maine people billions and increase the risk of blackouts while Massachusetts and Connecticut literally attack Maine's lands with thousands of megawatts of useless, unsightly and costly wind and solar developments to reach their own goals. 
God Bless Maine. God Bless America and Make Maine and America Great Again.

And a bill to eliminate the Governors Energy Office which went from six people to twenty people. Governor wants to promote them to cabinet level and tax Maine people millions to replace the federal subsidies that allowed them to grow (out of control).

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/
