The Wind Liars Continue to Lie Openly and Poor Mainers will soon Pay More for Their Lies!.
Two of the earliest industrial wind projects in Maine , to this day, produce a fraction of their potential fickle intermittent trickle of electrons!, WHY? Do your representatives care? (or are they part of the problem?)
What wind turbines do produce at full capacity is Renewable Energy Credits for the pseudo market created by your government via the likes of DE Shaw and other elite derivative investors on Wall Street. Those like Alfond,Angus King, Sussman,Kurt Adams and others may even benefit from the option plays...and the poor Maine "slob"(nuisance and a hindrance to elitist's self-serving ways) pays for them, and are squelched in Augusta as they( "Joe & Jill Citizens ") try to present facts to the legislature...See below....SEE why Mainers will pay more in a few months for electricity, so others can laugh all the way to to their next million, off poor Mainer's backs.
See why your citizen voices are routinely squelched in Augusta.
This info is from a recent SEC filing . Does your PUC give a hoot as you pay more?
Does your Dept. Of Environmental Protection appropriately consider the real cost/benefit of Industrial Wind Complexes(IWC's) sprouting all over Maine?

The deterioration of the New England electric market has amassed into a state of confusion. ISO-NE is trying to follow wind exploitationary government policy by instituting never before and untried market procedures including allowing negative supply offers and day ahead dispatch of wind. Many market watchers fear these new policies will disrupt load-following generators so much that new, quick-response generation will have to replace these versatile plants, adding great expense to wholesale prices. It is purely shameful for Maine lawmakers to continue the promotion and deployment of wind plants as an answer to reducing carbon when tens of thousand megawatts of carbon free, dispatchable hydro is available. It is even more perverted to think wind-electric build-out will help Maine economically. The ratepayer/taxpayer impacts are well documented in dollars per megawatt production numbers which are double to triple over other historical generation costs.

Yes, the deck is stacked against the people. So what are we going to do about it?
1) The PUC will soon be rid of any remnants of the Baldacci/wind conspiracy. Let's congratulate the Governor on his wise choices to fill those seats and encourage the new Commission to look after OUR interests, not the wind developers'. I predict this new PUC will fairly decide the issues before them. At least let's give them a chance to prove it.
2) The wind law MUST be changed! So long as Maine has the wind law, DEP, BEP and the Courts can only enforce it. I know most of us are frustrated, even disillusioned by how we've been so arrogantly dismissed by the EUT Committee, but there is hope: The Citizens' Initiative that Dan Remian has been working on for well over a year. It repeals portions of the wind law and increases the DEP's ability to scrutinize wind applications. People are now out gathering signatures all over the State. I hear from some of them that it is an easy sell. The public, once they know the truth, enthusiastically supports the petition.
Are YOU helping gather signatures? Email Dan Remian for details: N7CD@gwi.net

We see in Mr. Qwenk's post that the MPRP (CMP upgrade) is affecting First Wind. Yet when the project was sold to Mainers with the help of the wind-friendly media, the reason for the MPRP were rather "aging lines". This $1.4 billion project was always about the ratepayer funding the transport of wind companies' product (electrons/RECs) to Mass and Ct. After the wind business gets all kinds of breaks, e.g., PTC, TIF's, ARRA, etc., they then get the Maine PUC to agree to having the ratepayer buy them the shipping system for their product.
This is a huge disgrace and they are getting away with it because people have been misled and under informed. The newly composed MPUC will hopefully be investigating this.
And the argument that Mainers bear only 8% of the MPRP costs (based on their share of ISO-NE) is completely misleading because the grand plan is for perhaps$30 billion in similar wind-required transmission within the ISO-NE grid, much in other states, and the Maine ratepayer each time will fund 8% of that. A bunch of slick Goldman Sachs types break out of their huddle with a plan and the little person never stops paying.
It is all part of rigging the game for the big guys who can just sit back and collect their rent from the little person.
The question is - what will it take for us to do to get real change?

Wonder no longer why the average person struggles so hard --- the game is rigged. This is not about party, but rather right and wrong.

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.
