Maine abounds in natural beauty. Historically there have always been practical and impractical uses of the Maine geography and waters. In recent years we have been brow beaten by a corrupt government philosophy into allowing an ever increasing degree of impractical destruction of Maine by the industrial wind industry, related power companies and businesses.

Here is a perfect example of the elitist scumbags protecting themselves. Put in simplistic terms, the wind industry has been conducting premeditated rigged turbine mortality research for 30 years. To protect themselves wind research protocol and bogus guidelines relating to the wind industry have been established by government agencies as a cover. This way they can always say we have been obeying the law, even though these rigged guidelines were set up on their behalf in Washington as a get out of jail pass.
From an article in the WSJ by Peggy Noonan. Her use of the word "protected" essentially refers to the elites who are insulated in society from the mess they have created:
"This is a terrible feature of our age—that we are governed by protected people who don’t seem to care that much about their unprotected fellow citizens.
And a country really can’t continue this way.
In wise governments the top is attentive to the realities of the lives of normal people, and careful about their anxieties. That’s more or less how America used to be. There didn’t seem to be so much distance between the top and the bottom."

Think John Baldacci, Angus King, Chellie Pingree, Justin Alfond, Kurt Adams, etc. --and what is the likelihood of wind projects being built next to their homes.
PROTEST TIME.
"Tangible Benefits" is the view where the snake oil salesman gets your attention while the deception is being done in other ways. The real corruption is out of sight until much later, after the public has been sold the bill of goods and there is no reverse to the downfall of Quality of Life. Once that path has been taken by the public.... due to the starry vision presented by the illusion.... and reality sets in, the larger show reveals Maine as a Wasteland devoid of forest, mountains, clean waters, contaminated streams with a criss cross of powerlines from Canada south with it's tennent workers still subject to corporate determined wages living only in areas that are set aside like tennent quarters. (Naw......... just joking......... they will import the workers by Rail, no one will actually live in Maine when they are finished.)
We will become like the New Chinese workforce where factory workers imported from the countryside come together and work in former Prisons. This is known as the Cell System, a method they tried to teach at United Technologies in Pittsfield Maine as a better way of working and producing. Research revealed photos of actual 5 story prison cells for housing with upwards of 30 workers per cell overlooking the central prison floor as the factory floor. Suicide nets in place to prevent the jumping from the top. (Maine's Future ? ) Maybe, as this is the road that today's minor seemingly unintended corrupt actions could take our future. The Energy is not always Greener when there is a snakeoil salesman in the Grass......
The "Tangible Benefits" mandated by Maine's Expedited Wind Law made corruption (bribery) completely legal for the wind industry. Corruption is definitely the biggest problem of our time.
If you notice in polls displayed in the media they never talk about corruption. Instead pollsters have choices like economy, terrorism and even climate. But they do not ask about corruption, which is the number one problem of our time.
What is happening in Maine is just a case of corruption. But this corruption extends well beyond Maine. It includes every government agency, every resource and extends to every state.
Americans are angry and the battles are just beginning.
Yes What does corporate interests mean? Iberdrola and Emera? Therein lies the problem - Rep. Dion has just replaced Justin Alfond when it comes to corporate cronyism!

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.
