Troy, "The Bulldozer", Plows His Wind Projects Through Central Maine

On behalf of the people of Maine, Senator Lisa Keim submitted a bill " to reconsider" legislative approval of the transmission project pursuant to the Northern Maine Renewable Energy Development Program.
This proposed bill was presented to the " Legislative Council " , a select ten member committee that decides which bills will move forward for further legislative votes'
Ms. Keim's bill was shot down by the Council. WHY????

This approval given last year occurred even before a specific project was selected by the PUC and never even had a recorded vote in the Maine House nor the Maine Senate.
 
Worth noting is that one member of this 'Legislative Council ' is the sponsor of the bill that approved this "Route to be Determined Later" project, Troy Jasckson, "The Bulldozer"
Upon discovery of the project's proposed transmission route which only came to light well after the Legislative project approval granted last year, many people of Central Maine within the route's crosshairs started a campaign to stop this project as designed. Their campaign is growing despite silence from the media and contempt from nine of the ten members of the council. 
Is anyone in Maine Government listening to the people besides Ms. Keim?? Sounds like the government has said " We don't care what the people may think and we don't care where they erect thes towers, we will back it and the hell with what people we supposedly serve think about it  "
This is the very definition of Authoritative Government and must not stand.

You just have to vote the bastards out to end it all of it in 2024

In Connecticut, the pre-assembly/staging area in New London, was originally estimated at $93 million, with $75 million from private sources 

But now the estimate is $309 million and counting.

The same will happen to such a boondoggle in impoverished Maine to pre-assemble/stage FLOATING wind turbine, that have a production cost of 40 c/kWh, without subsidies, 20 c/kWh with subsidies, the price at which utilities would buy the electricity 

Over-regulated, over-taxed, over-surcharched, hard-working Mainers are trying to make ends meet in the near-zero, real-growth, Maine economy, while dealing with increasing prices, high inflation, high interest rates.

THEY ARE SOOOOOO SCREWED OVER

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.
