The Scam of the Livermore Falls PV Farm

I'm in Georgia, just want to put that up front. God willing I'll be back in my native land once the kids are out of the house. 

Anyway, I just posted a video on one of my Youtube channels asking "How's that Heat Pump Working For Ya?" 

 As I was reading the article that inspired my video I came across this monstrosity

Solar array on Livermore Falls farm to power schools

and of course they don't allow my comments asking if this electricity they claim is NAMEPLATE or actual projections. 

Oh, that' ain't clean either.  Reminds me of the old commercial with an Indian guy and a tear running down his face. what are we doing to our beautiful land?

Okay, now this is NOT the Livermore project in the North. This is actually the Souther Farm PV project in Androscoggin county.  I'm interested in knowing what the capacity is of this horrific destruction of beauty. If they are saying it will "generating nearly 6.5 million kilowatt hours of clean energy annually' where is that number coming from. 

If that 6.5Million KWHs is nameplate than my back of the envelope math shows generation about 4.3 million KWHs annually.  Assuming the sun gives 140 Watts per sq. meter in this location and each panel has a 25% efficiency. 

So I'm looking a bit more and I find "Souther Farms Solar will sell its renewable energy generation to the Town of Camden Schools District, Five Town CSD, the Town of Hope, ME, and Regional School Districts numbers 5 and 73 under 25-year Power Purchase Agreements (PPA).  "

So the rich folks in Camden will get to say how "green" they are by buying over priced and environmentally destructive electricity that travels over 75 miles, not wireless, I may add. 

Obviously, there's no battery banks involved either. Just another scam of the "Greens". 

I actually feel very bad for the Souther's having to do this. They could easily sell their land to a developer and make bank. I get that. These folks are in a no-win situation.  

For many years I lived in the Shenandoah valley and the Dairy and Livestock farmers were always being offered big bucks to sell.  The Mennonites usually kept the farms because they raised families to work the land when they died. The regulars though? All the kids moved away and there was no one left to work the land. Can't blame 'em for selling. But seeing that beautiful land be developed breaks one's heart.

"The U.S. Department of Agriculture provided more than $15 million of funding for the project developed on the Souther Farm. USDA Director for Rural Development in Maine Rhiannon Hampson says farmer Harold Souther worked closely with the USDA and Revision Energy to both preserve his farm and leave a legacy of clean energy for the five schools — Camden Rockport School District, Camden Hills Regional High School, Mt. Blue Regional School District, Regional School Unit 73 and Hope Elementary School."

A lot of Pigs at the trough. Souther, Revision Energy, Sevee & Maher Engineers, the schools. That's a lot of grain offered up to rip off the ratepayers of Maine

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/
