<p>The tissue mill is shutting 2 of 3 tissue machines down for the weekend because of high energy costs. This has happened several times lately. With electricity prices up 57% from 2012 to 2013 it makes sense I guess. It stinks for the workers who are sent home without work. Wait until Maine has 2000 more wind turbines. Our elec. rates will be totally unaffordable. The wind is free but that is a small component of total costs.</p>
