Nuclear power is poised for a renaissance in the US, prompted by Big Tech’s seemingly insatiable need for electricity to power AI-generating data centers.
Three recent headlines have thrown this into focus: Microsoft (MSFT) signed an agreement with Constellation Energy (CEG) to restart a reactor at Three Mile Island. Google (GOOG, GOOGL) partnered with Kairos to buy power from small modular nuclear reactors, known as SMRs. And Amazon (AMZN) is leading a $500 million funding round for another SMR company, X-Energy.
The nuclear energy industry has largely stagnated in the US. While the country has 94 nuclear reactors, according to the Energy Information Administration, their collective generating capacity has remained at around 20% of total electricity since the late 1980s. When the Vogtle plant in Georgia opened its third and fourth reactors earlier this year, they were the first new units in seven years. One main reason for the slow pace is the stringent safety and design standards imposed by regulators.
If Big Tech’s investments are any indication, that might be poised to change. Chips and energy are the picks and shovels of the AI movement, making reexamining nuclear power a logical conclusion. But if investors want to follow with their dollars, there are some key things to remember.
One is that these projects — even the Three Mile Island reactor, which isn’t using new technology — are years away. Three Mile Island is scheduled to get online by 2028.
Then there’s the newer tech. The goal of small modular reactors is to create mini versions of larger nuclear fission generators at a lower cost and with more flexibility, Kairos CEO Mike Laufer told Yahoo Finance.
But SMRs aren’t yet in use in the US. All of the companies getting investments are in the experimental stages. The privately held Kairos, for example, has received government approval to build a demonstration unit. It will first run it with non-nuclear power to showcase its cooling technology, which Laufer said has safety benefits. That demo is targeted for 2030.
The second obstacle for investors is that there aren’t many publicly traded ways to get in, especially pure plays. Many of those stocks have skyrocketed this year. NuScale Power (SMR) has soared by more than 450%. Oklo (OKLO), backed by Sam Altman of OpenAI, went public through a SPAC in May and the shares have gained more than 80% since.
The overall demand for electricity that’s expected from data centers has also driven up shares of utility companies by nearly unprecedented levels, not exclusive to nuclear. Their rates are regulated, so the bet depends on the expected expansion in volume of demand. (The ETF that tracks S&P 500 utility companies has risen by nearly 30% this year, which, if it holds, will be a record gain.)
Uranium producers have been another outlet for thirsty cash searching for nuclear-linked investments. Vancouver-based Uranium Energy (UEC) and Cameco (CCJ), for example, have been on a years-long tear and are near record highs.
All of this is supposing that SMRs will get approval and work. Obviously, there’s an increasing amount of money pushing in that direction, with Big Tech motivated to get clean energy-powered electricity generation.

A Program for a Greater America with a Much Smaller Federal Government
https://www.windtaskforce.org/profiles/blogs/a-program-for-a-greate...
by Willem Post
.
After winning in 2016, Trump was a political neophyte stepping into the lion’s den of the Obama-leaning federal bureaucracy
Some of his “best” advisors/aides turned out to be not his soul mates, and/or were two-faced, some were Deep State creatures.
When his high-level advisors, with their own agendas, could not control him, as they do Biden/Harris, they undermined him. Pompeo and Haley come to mind
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/neo-cons-not-welcome-trump-publ....
.
Trump is a creative developer/builder, a mover and shaker, as was his father, as are his sons, as are Musk, RFK, jr., Ramaswamy, etc.
The US and World needs such people near the top.
.
The Extent of the 2020 Election Fraud, by the Numbers
.
The table shows ballots counted in recent Presidential Elections.
.
In 2016, Democrats were caught flatfooted, because they thought a politically naive Trump was a joke, who would easily be defeated by well-known, Party-stalwart Hillary, so no additional precautions/cheating was thought necessary.
Much to Democrat surprise and dismay, Trump greatly outperformed, and, incredibly, Hillary lost. She still is not "over it"
.
In 2020, the Democrat Party had taken “never-again” precautions.
Five swing states illegally stopped ballot-counting at about 10 PM on Election night, to take stock.
Trump had massive leads in these states at 10 PM on Election night
.
After ballot-counting supervisors were sent home at 10 PM, more than 15 million filled-in ballots magically appeared from all over the place, for several days, to pad Biden’s numbers. The aim was to get Biden-in-the basement over the hump.
.
In Georgia, ballot-counting supervisors were sent home at 10 PM. They had been told the counting was stopped, to give people some rest, to be resumed the next day.
When people had left the counting space, new ballot-counting people appeared.
Suitcases with filled-in ballots had been hidden under tables shrouded with black cloths.
They were rolled to counting stations, where each ballot was run multiple times through tabulators.
Initially, all was denied
However, someone had forgotten to turn off the CCTV system, which recorded all actions from multiple angles.
.
The Media were in full collusion/justification mode to portray Biden-in-the-basement as a vote-getting miracle, and Trump as a heinous villain.
Terms like Hitler/Nazi/KKK sympathizer, Deluded, Dishonest, Xenophobic, Narcissistic. etc., were bandied about.
.
In 2024, even after intensive DOJ lawfare, Trump did even better than in 2020
Joyful Harris, with a lot of help/hype from the Media and Celebrities, did better than Hillary in 2016.
However, she was still a far cry from the puffed-up numbers of Biden in 2020.
.
Why did about 15 million 2020-Biden voters decide not vote for Harris in 2024?
These voters were enthusiastic about Biden in 2020, but did not bother to vote for Harris in 2024?
The more likely explanation is, 10 million Biden ballots were manufactured and injected into the counting process by the Democrat ballot-counting machine.
.
Despite massive mudslinging by domestic and foreign Media, and US DOJ lawfare, Trump won by a landslide in 2024.
The American people finally took revenge for the insults of the past 4 years

Each day, Harris is credited with more additional ballots than Trump
The longer counting goes on, the smaller the Trump margin; erasing Trump margin after polls closed!!
How can Harris, the loser, get more ballets added each day after the polls closed?
Those winning ballots likely are inserted by hook and crock, while no one is looking!
Harris did not benefit from the Democrat cheat machine in 2024, because:
.
Trump Winning in 2024; Democrats in a Frenzied Meltdown
.
US and EU Corporate media lied about US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, which is why many Democrats now find his victory so shocking
For anyone, whether in America or other countries, who finds Trump’s victory shocking, they should re-consider where they get their information. Was it from biased sources?
Almost all US and EU media pushed a completely false reality.
They used their Media resources to deceive Democrats, which will backfire in the end.
No bad deed goes unpunished, nor should it!
.
Downsizing the Federal Government
.
Democrat Patronage Machine: Climate legislation, climate policy are words bandied about by Democrats, but, in reality, this is money-grabbing legislation to feed the Democrat patronage machine.
It is in vogue to hang the climate label on those laws to deceive the people, because that wasteful spending added to the bloated federal deficit has not one iota of effect on the climate, and Democrats and RINOs know it.
Musk will try to cut a lot of spending out of the federal budget
Democrats are more afraid of Musk than of Trump, because the 50 years of patronage BS, that has enriched the grifting/grafting Biden, Inc. types, will be grossly curtailed.
.
Kamala Harris a Flawed Campaigner Far Worse than Hillary Clinton
.
A prosecutor is either out to get people to build her/his portfolio of cases for career purposes, or to make deals with lawyers to get people not or lightly convicted, for political purposes.
.
Harris, 30, inexperienced, controllable, hitched her body to a 60-y-old, married, Willie Brown, negro LA mayor, to use his political machine to rise in politics in dysfunctional California, which Vermont, etc., are using as a role model.
.
Harris (dysfunctional “border czar”)/Walz (tampons in boys’ bathrooms; stolen valor) are puppets, as are Biden/Harris (open-borders, huge deficit-spending, inflation), wars.
.
Biden, campaigned from his basement in 2020, a 45-y fixture in DC, was finally removed as a broken puppet in 2024, because he could not manage a teleprompter, or a press conference, or a debate, or a set of stairs, or a bicycle, already for several years.
The Democrat party elite summarily replaced him with Harris, who had received no primary votes.
However, after a joyful beginning, and celebrities chiming in, she has proven herself even less capable than Biden.
.
The Trump/Vance team is the Much Better Choice for America
.
Someone recently asked me why I like Trump.
My answer was, I do not like a lot of things about Trump and Harris, but the Trump/Vance team is the much better choice for America.
.
However, this election is not about choosing the most likable, or joyful, or celebrity-loved person.
This election is about voting between two vastly different ideologies.
This election is about voting for the country we want to leave our children and grandchildren.
The Trump/Vance team represents that future and has proven that they can deliver.
Some are former Democrats, who became Republicans. All are patriots to the core.
Trump, a former New York Democrat, served his country for 4 years without pay.
.
When someone says: “I cannot believe you are voting for Trump”. I simply reply, “I am voting for the Trump/Vance team.”
I am voting for the First Amendment and Freedom of Speech.
I am voting for the right to speak my opinion and not be censored.
I am voting for secure borders and LEGAL immigration.
I am voting for election integrity to include mandatory, unforgeable, voter ID, everyone voting on Election Day (make it a National Holiday with Pay), no machines, only hand counting, as is done in almost all European countries, where final results are known within days.
I am voting for the Second Amendment and my right to defend my life and my family.
I am voting for the police to be respected and funded once again.
I am voting for law & order and an end to allowing protesters to trespass and burn our cities, destroying innocent small businesses. (Tim Walz)
I am voting for personal responsibility and the end of the revolving door where criminals are being put back on the streets (Kamala Harris)
I am voting for the next Supreme Court Justice(s) to protect the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
I am voting for a return of our troops from foreign countries and the end of America’s involvement in foreign conflicts.
I am voting for the Electoral College and for the Republic in which we live.
I am voting for the continued appointment of Federal Judges who respect/uphold the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
I am voting for keeping our jobs to remain in America and not be outsourced all over the world – to China, Mexico, Canada, Europe, Asia, and other foreign countries.
I am voting for doing away with all of the freebies given to the illegals and not providing for the needs of the American citizens and homeless veterans beset by natural disasters (FEMA has no money, because FEMA spent it to fly and coddle illegals from all over to the US).
I am voting for the military & the veterans who fought for this country
I am voting to keep men out of women’s sports and tampons out of boy’s bathrooms (stolen-valor Walz).
I am voting for peace in the Middle East.
I am voting to fight against human/child trafficking.
I am voting for Freedom of Religion.
I am voting for increased STEM teaching (science, technology, engineering, mathematics), instead of pseudo-scientific indoctrination of our children.
I am voting for the future of my Country.
I am voting for my children and my grandchildren to ensure their freedoms
.
America is the greatest country in the world.
The reason so many want to immigrate here
Why would a cabal of extremist Democrats want to change it, if not for their increased federal command/control over you.
I am voting for the Trump/Vance team.
I am voting for America.
.
The Deep State, a Cabal of Inter-related Elite Families and Friends
.
It is truly amazing how a small, extremist, socialist/communist, Democrat-party cabal, in cahoots with a weaponized federal government, Corporate Media, and Academia, etc., were able to subvert/brainwash the US people this much, for decades, in the land with the First Amendment. Whistleblowers Assange, Snowdon, etc., surely suffered because of it.
.
Biased Corporate Media has been providing political cover for outrageous federal spending and open border policies.
Americans, be they white, negro, Hispanic, Muslim, Jewish, etc., are finally awakening from their Corporate-Media, entertainment-induced coma, to take revenge in the voting booth.
.
What is Needed for the US
.
We need the Trump/Vance team to be elected by a huge landslide, too big to rig, to MAGA the US,
To end the highly subsidized wind, solar, battery, heat pump, EV follies, etc.
We need Vance to take over after Trump for 8 years to further MAGA the US
.
The federal government must not be allowed to engage in any activities not specified in the U.S. Constitution.
That means no NPR, no US Dept of Education, no US Endowment for the Arts, no US Radio Free Europe (all are mostly staffed by Democrats), and many other similar activities.
The US Dept of Education, budget $240 BILLION in 2024, was started in 1980, with the US ranking 4th in education. After 44 years, the US ranks 24th. Clearly, that experiment has failed bigtime.
It needs to be ended, with all education activities conducted by the Sovereign States, as reiterated in the US Constitution and associated documents.
The federal government would be much smaller, and much more efficient, and spend much less money, with help of RFK, jr., Elon Musk, Ramaswamy, etc.
.
Example of High-Level Judicial Overreach
.
Trump appointed 3 conservative judges to the US Supreme Court
These judges are highly qualified scholars of the history of the US Constitution; one of them teaches it in a Law School.
.
A prior Supreme Court had made an error by ruling, a woman has a legal right to an abortion (Roe vs. Wade).
Based on that ruling more than 30 years ago, various federal laws and rules and regulations were enacted and promulgated.
A national infrastructure of federally-$supported entities, involved with abortion, and other reproductive issues, mostly staffed by Democrats, came into being.
.
The current Supreme Court determined, nowhere in the US Constitution, and associated documents, etc., is mentioned: 1) abortion and 2) a woman has a legal right to an abortion.
The federal government only has the legal rights ceded to it by the sovereign States, as reiterated in the US Constitution.
Any legal rights not ceded to the federal government, stay with the States
That means, the people in each State determine the laws, rules and regulations regarding abortion.
The federal government would be involved only if a State violates a civil right, such as discrimination based on race, creed, color, etc., as reiterated in the US Constitution.
.
Vote For Trump Because Your Life Depends on It
.
Vote Trump in by a RED landslide for 4 years, and
Vote Vance in by a RED landslide for 8 more years, and
.
Eliminate all subsidies of any kind to all industries, and
Stop subsidies for all so-called CO2 reduction schemes, and
Drill, baby drill, and
Build, on a fast track, at least 100 standardized nuclear plants, each with 2 or more 1,000 MW units
Conserve, not export, our precious fossil fuels to produce the tens of thousands of products than cannot be produced by hydro, nuclear, wind and solar.
The export of US fossil fuels is advocated by the Deep State to increase their geo-political dominance to enable the US military/industrial/intelligence complex to rule the world.
.
Bring 50,000 soldiers from Europe to the US to help build the north and south wall, and
Station them on the narrow strip of US land OUTSIDE of the completed walls, with tear gas, tasers, etc., so no one, without proper documents, can cross our borders.
That will free up the US border guard, etc., to collect millions of recent arrivals, and
Deport millions of recent arrivals, including misfit/criminals, each year for the next 4 years, to completely offset the Biden/Harris scheme to import illegals into swing states to permanently rig elections.
Many heretofore great American communities have suffered from the great influxes of misfit illegals, imposed upon them by the Biden/Harris cabal.
.
All that will immediately reduce the budget deficit, and
Lower US energy prices by 50%, and
Reduce all other prices, and
Reduce loan interest costs, and
Reduce inflation rates
.
Impose an up to 100% tariff on all imports from anywhere, and
Build industrial plants owned by locals and industrial plants owned by friendly foreigners, and
Provide tens of millions of steady, high-tech, community-building, US jobs with good pay and benefits
.
Trump Was Right About the Deep State!
.
Remember when he said Drain-the-Swamp. It's a deep swamp!!!
This is why the Deep State manipulated you to hate him. He is a threat, not to Democracy, but to them!!
You must know some details to be informed:
.
THE GOVERNOR OF MICHIGAN USED TO WORK FOR GEORGE SOROS.
CALIF GOV. GAVIN NEWSOM IS NANCY PELOSI'S NEPHEW
ADAM SHIFF'S SISTER IS MARRIED TO ONE OF GEORGE SOROS’ SONS.
JOHN KERRY'S DAUGHTER IS MARRIED TO A MULLAH'S SON IN IRAN.
HILLARY'S DAUGHTER CHELSEA IS MARRIED TO GEORGE SOROS' NEPHEW.
ABC NEWS EXECUTIVE PRODUCER IAN CAMERON IS MARRIED TO SUSAN RICE, OBAMA'S FORMER NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER.
CBS PRESIDENT DAVID RHODES IS THE BROTHER OF BEN RHODES, OBAMA'S DEPUTY NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER FOR STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS.

ABC PRESIDENT BEN SHERWOOD IS THE BROTHER OF ELIZABETH SHERWOOD, OBAMA'S FORMER SPECIAL ADVISER.
CNN VP VIRGINIA MOSELEY IS MARRIED TO TOM NIDES, FORMER HILLARY CLINTON'S DEPUTY SECRETARY.
.
THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL A "STACKED DECK". IF YOU HAD A HUNCH THE CORPORATE NEWS MENU WAS SOMEWHAT RIGGED AND YOU COULDN'T PUT YOUR FINGER ON IT, THIS MIGHT HELP YOU SOLVE THE PUZZLE.
.
Now you know why no one is investigated. They all have their hands in the cookie jar!
You might remember James Comey who investigated the Clinton email scandal and the Clinton Foundation, and made the final decision to not recommend prosecution by the DOJ.
It turns out that the Clinton Foundation was audited by the law firm DLA Piper, a powerhouse in DC
One of the executives there was in charge of the Clinton Foundation audit.
Who was it? Peter Comey, James Comey’s brother.
Peter Comey held an executive position with the Washington law firm that did the audit of the Clinton foundation in 2015.
Peter Comey was officially DLA Piper “Senior Director of Real Estate for The Americas in 2015 when the Clinton Foundation scandals first broke, and Hillary was preparing her Presidential campaign.
Not only was DLA Piper, the firm where Comey’s brother worked, involved in the audit of the Clinton Foundation, but according to the foundation’s donor records, DLA Piper has given between $50 - 100k to the Foundation.
.
It gets even cozier.
DLA Piper executive Douglas Emhoff, who impregnated the nanny, during a prior marriage, is taking an extended leave of absence from the firm to campaign for Harris.
Who is Douglas Emhoff? He is the husband of Kamala Harris. Just a coincidence?
You can't make this stuff up!
And it only gets worse. This infamous "Family Tree" will make your head spin... THE SWAMP IS DEEP!!
.
Dominion (Voting Machine Supplier) serves 40% of the US market. It is embedded in 30 states
The state of Texas rejected the machines.
Admiral Peter Neffenger is on Biden's transition team.
Neffenger was the President of the board of Smartmatic (another Voting Machine Supplier), which entered into an agreement with Dominion in 2009
Smartmatic counted votes in Venezuela
Smartmatic is connected to the Philippine Voter Fraud
Smartmatic is run by Lord Mark Malloch Brown, who works for George Soros (he and Brown are life-long friends)
Brown chairs the Boards of a number of non-profits, including the Open Society Foundation and the Centre for Global Development.
Open Society Foundation is owned by George Soros
Smartmatic partnered with DLA Piper Global.
.
Guess who owns Dominion? Blum Capital Partners LP
Guess who is on the board for the company? Richard Blum who is Dianne Feinstein’s husband.
.
Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi, is a major investor. It is rumored the two are worth $250 million
An aide to Nancy Pelosi, Nadeam Elshami, was hired by Dominion Voting Systems.
Dominion Voting Systems is listed as a $25,000 -$50,000 donor to the Clinton Foundation in 2014, by The Washington Post
Georgia Governor Kemp used Dominion Voting Systems after Texas and Florida rejected them
Dominion has a lobbyist named Jared Thomas
Jared Thomas was Governor Brian Kemp’s Chief of Staff/Press Secretary from 2012 to 2015.
.
You must remember the Feinstein, Kavanaugh, Soros connections to understand this next information
Debra Katz (Christine Ford's lawyer, who accused Kavanaugh of rape) worked for George-Soros at the Open Society Foundation.
Debra Katz also worked at Project on Government Oversight (POGO).
POGO is funded by Soros’s Open Society Foundation.
POGO is the co-signer of the letter Diane Feinstein presented against Kavanaugh's nomination.
.
Kamala Harris did not prosecute One West Bank for their fraud, when she had the authority, after all, Soros Owned One West Bank
Now you know why controllable/puppet Harris became controllable/puppet Biden’s running mate in 2020
.
The execrable Anne Applebaum, New York Times Journalist, married to Radoslaw Sikorski, Poland’s hawkish foreign minister and major globalist neocon. The pair see Russia as the Evil Empire, to be divided into 7 manageable pieces.
Madeline Albright, may have said, “Siberia holds too many resources for just one country”.
.
Victoria Nuland, former Assistant Secretary of State, spent $5 billion from 1991 to 2014, to prepare the Kiev coup d’etat in 2014, married to Robert Kagan, editor-at-large Washington Post, which did not endorse Harris, resulting in Kagan resigning from WaPo. The LA Times also did not endorse Harris
Many leaders of labor unions, whose members are overwhelmingly for Trump, did not endorse Harris
.
Oh, what a tangled web of lies they wove
.
Here are Trump’s ten moves to bury the Deep State.
.
1) Firing any and all obstructionist bureaucrats
2) Completely overhauling the corrupt security and intelligence agencies
3) Reforming the FISA courts to stop the abuses against Americans
4) Form a truth and reconciliation commission to address the many crimes and wrongdoings of the government
5) Weed out the spreaders of disinformation from government positions
6) Make Inspectors General fully independent from the agencies they are supposed to monitor
7) Start a Congressional Committee to oversee what the intelligence agencies are actually up to so that any and all illegal spying on Americans can finally be terminated.
8) Move many government agencies out of DC and into places where they can actually serve the public
9) Eliminate the revolving door between government positions and the corporate entities they previously regulated or oversaw
10) Pass a Constitutional amendment to impose term limits on Congressional and Senate seats.
.
Ban the Offshore Wind Turbine FIASCO NOW
Eliminate all subsidies of any kind to all industries, etc., NOW
.
Regarding the disintegrating rotor blades in Cape Cod, ultrasonic testing is fine, radiological testing is fine, but FIELD TESTING of fully instrumented, 351-ft long, rotor blades on a mast, for AT LEAST one year, in a windy area of the North Sea, is the most important and vital part, which GE executives decided to “omit”.
.
These rotor blades are about three times as long as an airplane wing of a Boeing-747.
Nobody with a sane mind would ever "omit" field testing, including torsion testing.
.
What were these GE top executives thinking?
How in hell did they get into these top positions?
.
Then, falsifying test records to endanger people, and the environment, and ocean fauna, and fisheries, and tourism?
All these are felonious offenses.
All involved should be fired and prosecuted for gross malfeasance, and blacklisted, and never again be allowed to be employed in any industry.
.
Bureau of Safety and Environment Enforcement, BSEE, (what a name for a useless bureau) WANTS TO ESTABLISH FACTS ON THE GROUND (by building wind turbine projects without rotors) SO PROJECTS WILL BE HARDER TO CANCEL BY SANE PEOPLE IN EARLY 2025. Downright treasonous.
.
Forcing utilities to pay 15 c/kWh, wholesale (after 50% subsidies), is gross economic insanity, plus all of us:
.
– paying for grid reinforcement and extension
– paying for traditional plants counteracting wind/solar variable output, on a less than minute-by-minute basis, 24/7/365
– paying for traditional plants providing electricity during low-wind (and during high-wind periods, when rotors are locked in place), and during low solar conditions
- paying owners of wind and solar systems for the electricity they COULD have produced, if not curtailed
– paying for expensive hazardous waste landfill of gigantic rotor blades, etc.
.
The insanity and environmental damage it all is off the charts.
No wonder Europe’s near-zero, real-growth economy is in such big do-do
.
Europe wants to foist high electricity prices onto the US (using the canard of global-warming/climate-change), so the US will be in big do-do as well, TO PRESERVE ITS EXTREMELY ADVANTAGEOUS TRADE BALANCE WITH THE US.
.
Why in hell is GE, a US company, building several hundred EXPERIMENTAL rotor blades in Quebec, Canada, and have them transported, from Cape Cod to France and back, on European-owned, specialized ships, to a French blade production facility, which happens to have a suitable testing lab?

How low and idiotic can a US company and US government go by screwing US workers out of jobs?
The Inflation Reduction Act was sold to the gullible public, because “it would create jobs in the US”
.
The Socialist, Democrat cabal, using demented BIDEN/joyful HARRIS as its puppets for 4 years, did its Offshore Wind thing, and its Open Borders thing, its Woke thing, etc.
All such “things” ended up screwing the American people, and fatten the treasure chest of Europe, the reason the European elites like Biden/Harris so much.
What was that traitorous cabal thinking?
Now you see why the American people finally had to take revenge by voting the cabal idiots out
.
Now you see why European elites hate Trump, because Trump puts AMERICA FIRST, UNLIKE TWO-FACED RINOS, LIKE SENATOR COLLINS, etc.
Julie,
The US needs at least 100 new standard nuclear plants, each with 2, 3, or 4 1000 MW units to replace the existing plants. They can be built in 20 years by private financing.
No government money (our money) is required.
Having several thousand small plants, say 100 MW, is pure nonsense

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.
