<p>Very good post. I think it is interesting that "everyone" wants wind unless it is their back yard. They are willing to spoil the towns and Unorgnized Territories where there are people willing to take bribes and promises from these wind giants and have no money to fight them. It is a lot easier pickings than going up against the money and political activity of Southern Maine. Antd it is also interesting to note the bent of politics in the South, and that of the North. Those in the South…</p>

<p>Then Gov Blumenthal of Conn. sued Iso New England for 1 million dollars worth of power not produced. He lost at the Supreme Court level. The imaginary power was out of NY. First Wind used to say that the transmission lines would be in place by 2011. I think it was in their SEC reports. Gov. Blumenthal also said that he wasn't putting transmission lines all through Conn. for a few wind farms in upper state ME. Once the law suits start, a lot of criminal activity is going…</p>

<p>I would not be surprised if Cohocton still received energy credits even though their power went nowhere. White collar crime of the new age.</p>

<p>Not gonna' be so easy for southern ME. Cohocton wind farm in NY, built by First Wind, is also not on the grid. Locals found out all by themselves.Power might go to Canada though like Mars Hill. But whether the power goes to Canada or not ...some potential problems in southern ME.</p>

<p>1) what kind of imbeciles would build wind farms with no way to transport the power. Esp with the 20 year life expectancy of the turbines.</p>

<p>2) if it does go to Canada like Mars Hill, isn't this problematic for US taxpayers/ratepayers to support Canada.</p>
<p>3) tourism will be affected not just by the wind farms, but transmission lines.Maybe why it has taken so long to build them. All the secrets that could possibly come out. Maybe why the MPUC member said Mainers might lose trust in them.Brilliant deduction.</p>
