Much Clearer Map of Big Brother Tracking the Maine Anti-Wind Resistance
Update, Monday, Mar 3 at 4PM:
See the map at:
https://www.wind-watch.org/alerts/2014/02/28/wind2050-multidiscipli...
The following links shows a map of wind opposition groups in several countries including the U.S., the UK, Denmark, Sweden and Germany. Each link is a bit different and worth looking at. Both maps are clickable, with the map at the first link being considerably higher resolution.
The map, possibly from Denmark's Aalborg University or the Technical University of Denmark, shows the website nodes of opposition groups with the nodes sized on the basis of "in-links received from other nodes".

and
http://wcfn.org/2014/02/28/wind2050-a-dystopian-society/
In order to better see detail on the map, you will probably have to zoom in several times.
Below is a small section of the map screen grabbed, with an arrow showing the node for the Citizens' Task Force on Wind Power - Maine. Other Maine groups can be seen as well. It would be interesting to know their methodology. Could it be that they somehow collect data on individuals and have them assigned to groups?
One can only wonder what purpose there is to this centralized mapping of the international resistance to wind power.
When I saw this, it brought to mind "The Carbon Capture Report" a website from the University of Illinois -- "devoted to being the preeminent global resource for tracking worldwide perception and developments in Climate Change, Carbon Capture, Carbon Credits, Alternative Energy, Renewable Energy, Green Energy, Biofuels, Geothermal, Hydroelectric, Natural Gas, Nuclear, Solar, Wind, Coal, and Oil. With subscribers in more than 100 countries the Report has become the go-to resource for daily insight into the global media discourse".
http://www.carboncapturereport.org/about.html
(Using the Carbon Capture Report's search box, try typing in the names of Maine wind opponents to see if they have been tracked).
Clearly, in the age of digital, we often see the phenomenon where something digital gets built simply because it's possible. That does not make it right.
It's a sad day when the citizens in places like Maine find it all they can do to keep a map of Maine wind projects and met towers befouling our countryside and harming our health, peace, tranquility and finances. But it is nothing for "central green planning" to track us across the globe. After all, they are doing this with taxpayer and ratepayer money, steadily drawn from us year in year out.
Follow the money.

WE ARE THE ENEMY and in Order To DEFEAT the Enemy We Have to Know Where their COMMAND Center or Base of Operations is!Once They Know that they will LAUNCH A MEDIA/LEGISLATIVE Attack and DESTROY US!!

P.S. I forgot another wasteful use of internet capacity, Simon Chapman's 'research' and his, AWEA's and Mike Barnyard's blogosphere, and Chapman's and other proponents whose tweets I have looked at. Whoever pays the salary of Sydney University professors should really be concerned about how he spends his time. We should all be concerned about the bastardization of our educational and research institutions.

I hope that those using the cyber-spying and those who think that the only electricity consumption of wind energy is local to the turbine and forget about the off site monitoring, start thinking about the carbon costs of their super-computers. Why does Google support the industrialization of the entire Eastern seaboard for offshore wind energy? I overuse the internet too and google scholar at least allows me to keep up with scholarly work on turbine acoustic pollution, wildlife impacts, etc and I suggest that that would be a better use of Vestas, and EU money. Or they could use it to research alternatives to 500 ft. turbines that don't even have good capacity on Maine's ridgelines. Why they are wasting money on what will so obviously RAISE distrust is beyond me. Factoid- NSA's new data center in Utah is expected to have an annual bill of $18 millio, even though electricity is very cheap there because of COAL. Why don't they do a PR coupe and take it off the grid and power it with local wind energy. Another factoid is that Number One for wind in the US, Texas, is also number one for coal imports. To Barry's post, I watched a lecture that gave really impressive figures for the CO2-trapping capacity of unmanaged land, i.e., forest, as well as our waters (where acidification does concern me). When are we going to realize that chopping forest for solar or biomass, or destroying the forest ecosystems in Maine brings us that much closer to the alarmists' irreversible tipping point?

The worst part of the renewable fraud is that the majority of the claimed "renewable" power is burning wood. Tree that take decades to grow are harvested and then cleared in hours in the claim to be environmental. The highest CO2 output source of energy along with being a large emitter of water vapor which is an even worst source of greenhouse "gas" are the main renewable source to lower greenhouse gas. It is tragically laughable what they are doing with solar, wind and biomass! This isn't about global warming...this is about money! Chopping down forests while claiming to improve the environment is tragic. 40% of Germanys foresting goes to be burnt. I believe the number in Denmark is even larger. Efficiency and Conservation are 10 times more effective at lowering CO2 output....they lower our demand, our cost and our impact. Regardless of the truth of Global Warming....EFFICIENCY AND CONSERVATION ARE GOOD. WIND TURBINE, BIOMASS AND SOLAR are expensive and have many negative impacts!

MEANWHILE:
An ill wind blows for Denmark's green energy revolution
Denmark has long been a role model for green activists, but now it has become one of the first countries to turn against the turbines.
"Last month, unnoticed in the UK, Denmark's giant state-owned power company, Dong Energy, announced that it would abandon future onshore wind farms in the country. "Every time we were building onshore, the public reacts in a negative way and we had a lot of criticism from neighbours," said a spokesman for the company. "Now we are putting all our efforts into offshore windfarms."

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.
