Where does one begin? - Maine Morningstar piece
The demolition of the offshore wind sector in 2025 will reverberate for decades, resulting in lost jobs, higher utility bills, and less reliable power grids.

Maybe, during the lull on OS Wind, thanks to President Trump, these proponents can figure out how to get wind turbines to generate at 100% capacity, 24/7/365 at electricity prices we used to have before Wind. I won't hold my breath waiting.
I might just offer this rag a commentary, but I won't hold my breath waiting for publication.
Talking about people who are mentally challenged, Maine's Department of Energy Resources spokeswoman has difficulty with Canadian geography. She stated a group of DOER diddledumbs went to New Brunswick to see a SMR site, but she found out during a EUT Committee meeting when one explained that the said SMR site was in the Province of Ontario.

This puff piece for wind is off the charts melodramatic.
Europe is foisting wind mills onto the U.S. so the US will have high electric rates and stay unco with Europe, etc.

Floating offshore wind mills, 800 ft tall, will kill birds, lobsters, and other fish life.
There will be multiple cables dangling from each wind mill to keep it in position
There will be multiple electrical cables to shore from each wind mill.
There will be wind mills must be located about 25 miles fro shores, as otherwise the strobe lights from each wind mill will be a nuisance visible from shore
Those wind mills will produce electricity for at least 36 c/kW, but with 50% subsidies, the electricity will be sold to utilities at 18 c/kWh.
That price will be marked up by utility costs, plus various surcharges, then all that cost will be rolled into the rate base.The wind mills will produce high levels of ultrasound over a large area, that disorients fishes and damages there hearing sensors.

California Here We Come
California, under Governor Gavin Newscum, is more corrupt than Minnesota, if that’s possible??? The Fraud Investigation of California has begun. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

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.
