New England grid reports greenhouse gas reductions (Thank you natural gas and weather)
Maine Public | By Peter McGuire
Published November 4, 2024
Greenhouse gas pollution from electricity generation slid 4% in 2023, according to a new analysis from regional electric grid operator ISO-New England.
Last year's drop in climate-warming carbon dioxide emissions is linked to mild winter and summer temperatures that limited periods of high electricity demand, according to the grid operator.
Oil and coal power plants have historically fired up to boost electricity generation when the grid experiences tight system conditions, ISO-New England said. That can happen during a heat wave, when electricity demand spikes to run air conditioners, or during a winter cold snap, when natural gas pipeline capacity is constrained, the organization added.
Thanks to a warmer winter and cooler summer last year, those resources weren't used as much, resulting in lower emissions, according to the analysis.
Falling natural gas prices in 2023 also made that fuel more economical than coal or oil for electricity generation, the grid operator added.

A Program for a Greater America with a Much Smaller Federal Government

Trump was a political neophyte stepping into the lion’s den of the Obama-leaning federal bureaucracy
Some of his “best” advisors/aides turned out to be not his soul mates, and/or were two-faced, some were Deep State creatures.
When his high-level advisors, with their own agendas, could not control him, as they do Biden/Harris, they undermined him.
Trump is a creative developer/builder, a mover and shaker, as was his father, as are his sons, as are Musk, RFK, jr., Ramaswamy, etc.
The US and World needs such people near the top.

The Extend of the 2020 Election Fraud, in Numbers
.
The table shows ballots counted in Presidential Elections.
Look at the 2020 ballot counting “anomaly”
In 2020, it appears, more than 10 million ballots were brought in from all over the place, before and after polls closed, to overcome the massive Trump-lead on Election night, to get Biden-in-the basement over the hump.
In 2016, Democrats were caught flatfooted, because they thought a politically naive Trump was a joke, who would easily be defeated by Hillary, so no additional cheating was thought necessary.
Much to their surprise and dismay Hillary LOST. She still is not "over it"

Trump Winning in 2024; Democrats in a Frenzied Meltdown
.
US and EU Corporate media lied about US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, which is why many Democrats now find his victory so shocking
For anyone, whether in America or other countries, who finds Trump’s victory shocking, they should re-consider where they get their information. Was it from biased sources?
Almost all US and EU media pushed a completely false reality.
They used their Media resources to deceive Democrats, which will backfire in the end.
No bad deed goes unpunished, nor should it!

If only there was no carbon tax(RGGI) adding millions to rates, natural gas would be far less expensive. If only there was no " Net Energy Billing" adding millions to rates. If only there was no power purchase agreements with Wind and Transmission projects adding millions to rates. If only there was no "Renewable Energy Credits" adding millions to rates. If only there was no "Efficiency Maine Trust" adding millions to the price of heat pump technology, light bulbs and weatherization.
The ratepayers seek out the origination and justification for all these millions added to rates.while Lawmakers play the "Innocent Idiots".

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.
