Rep. "Acapulco Golden's" congressional district infested with illegal Chinese pot growing commercial operations
What an insult to law abiding Maine residents. To stop this, Jared Golden wrote a letter to Merrick Garland. Boy, do I feel better now.
Maine has become ground zero for the illicit pot trade, with hundreds of suspected grow houses dotting its rural countryside. The Maine properties visited by the DCNF had several key indicators that law enforcement officials said were signs of marijuana grows, such as a potent cannabis smell, enhanced commercial-grade electrical systems, heat pumps, propane tanks and blacked-out windows.
Despite the obvious signs of these grows operating in “plain sight,” law enforcement hasn’t busted many of them, Stanley W. Bell, the police chief of Clinton, Maine, told the DCNF.
For years, small-town Maine residents have known about Chinese nationals operating pot grows near their homes. Some neighbors of suspected grow sites said they reported the homes to law enforcement, but said police have yet to shut the properties down.
One rural Maine resident, who wished to be identified as Sandra due to security concerns, said her home had lost power several times due to the extreme amount of electricity her neighbors installed for their pot operation that caused the transformer to blow.
A Maine resident whose work involves knowledge of the power grid told the DCNF, under the condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly, that they went from fixing one blown transformer in their entire career to 40 to 50 over the course of a couple of years.
One neighbor described an instance in which the Chinese neighbor demanded an easement for a power line to cross their neighbor’s land to have more robust energy.
The suspected illegal grow operations have taken over Maine’s second congressional district, which is currently represented by Jared Golden.

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.
