Natural gas exists today and can lower the cost of manufacturing in Maine (Bangor Daily News)
The reality is that natural gas exists today, not sometime and somewhere in the future. And it’s a much cleaner alternative to the oil and coal fuels it replaces. Natural gas pipelines can be built safely and sensitively — as they are throughout the country — to bring cheap Marcellus gas into New England. Our businesses, workers and families shouldn’t have to pay the highest energy costs in the nation when a plentiful supply of domestic natural gas is available just a few states away. Make no mistake about it — jobs are on the line.

The loss of land, for other needs such as food is a larger concern. Toxic fumes from below leaking upward to poison the ground, or displacement by Wind Turbines, or solar panels, or open pit mining for coal, destruction of forests for pellets destine to Europe as a coal substitute, all take its toll on what nature would provide if we reduced to a level that nature can provide if we did not consume in excess.

1 gal NG = 85.099 BTU = 24.94 Kwh
NG from derived from Coal, because of processing, is as bad as coal itself depending on the grade of coal. NG from Fracking is energy intensive to extract and disposal costs of waste extraction materials, not to mention the geological damage and potential environmental damages.
One sector against another, is just Salesmanship of their product. When the end of the day comes, Energy is Energy, so when we place Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere, by extracting and hauling, burning, creating green devices, the only real answer to Global Warming, is REDUCE our consumption. Doing the Math, proves this through Science. Anything else is a matter salesmanship.

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.
