Scared, Merciless Politicians Inflicting Pain in Maine
Two Markets. One that is controlled by scarce natural gas and one controlled by abundant hydro power.
- One state under siege by a commodity shared by five other states, a commodity that can produce effectively, but performs far less than desirable and whose supply remains stagnant as the whole world scrambles to access a politically manipulated resource, a historically recurring event.
- One state bordered on the north and east by a nation with abundant hydro power, just a number of poles and wires from delivering true competition to natural gas. It could easily replace all the natural gas burned for electricity within the state. It could instantly replace volatility and energy poverty with assured energy comfort.
- One state that has taken a dead end route to it's own ascertained destruction, overpopulating the land with political energy losers.
- Now, these demented creatures of government are too scared to move, too scared stiff to act, too scared stiff of the renewable lobbyists, the media, the environmentalists, the natural gas industry.
- Canada, O Canada our politicians say you can't be trusted They say you will send dirty energy. They say wind and solar will replace the natural gas plants, but wind and solar only enhance the value of natural gas. Wind and solar are not competitors to natural gas, wind and solar are complementary beggars and servants to natural gas.
- Politicians, please deliver us from the misery of the natural gas dominance that is certain to fail to perform during our most perilous hours.
- Bring it on, hydro power that is so close, so able to break us lose from overpriced natural gas
- We don't want handouts to pay our electric bills, we want stability in our electric market. It is the handouts given to wind and solar we want stopped immediately.
- Is there not one politician in this one state who can answer the call of the people of burden?

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.
