Offshore Wind and Low Information Voters
Offshore wind projects face lawsuits over federal approvals and multiple executive orders from the current administration. Individual states are trying to direct the federal government on how to power the country. The Trump administration's alternative to wind is SMR, or small, safe, modular reactors, which produce power 24/7.
.
Accidents like the 70-ton Nantucket blade failure raise questions of safety and reliability..
.
There is a history of evidence linking offshore wind farms to whale deaths; since the construction of the Block Island, Rhode Island, wind project, whale deaths have followed the project.
.
Scientific and research groups have received funding from offshore wind projects, as well as political contributions to endorse. The news media receive millions in advertising from offshore wind companies.
.
Massachusetts, for example, committed by 2008 to installing 2000 megawatts of land-based wind power by 2020. Politicians told low-information voters the state was going to be the "Saudi Arabia of wind." The land-based wind projects were a catastrophic failure.

A quick look at the online home pages of the Press Herald, Maine Public, NPR, CNN, LA Times and Washington Post shows not a single reference to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's bombshell. It appears that for now, their strategy is a total news blackout. Ever wonder why Dems and Repubs have such tremendously different views on things?

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.
