US Wind Industry Installed 3,600 MW So Far This Year, Still Faces Policy Uncertainty

We can only hope that the PTC fails to pass and slows down this fantasy train.

All Green Energy holds equal or similar issues of CO² contribution, as invested contributions prior to generation or maintaining such generation. Some though not as CO² intensive in their investment hold other undesired pollutants and long term hazards which occur during their raw materials extraction or creation. ---- Energy can neither be created, nor destroyed, only converted from one form to another for a particular given need. --- Thus the only constants of Green Energy, is the displaced usage or destruction of land, and the constant fleecing of the taxpayers and the double fleecing of the rate payers by those who promote, encourage or otherwise participate in this 3,000 year old proven consumer of resources resulting in an overall loss. If local production, local use is unsustainable and a net loss, then too are Grid system productions, with additional power consumptions and losses on larger scales. The way the PTC and the REC's system is structured and allowed to be traded in a market environment, Coal fired facilities can appear to be Green Energy.

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/
