Maine fishermen caught in a quandary over offshore wind-array site
The criminals of Wall Street march on relentlessly in pursuit of free money in one of the greatest con games of all time. It's amazing what can be done with a lying media, compromised government and a sleeping citizenry.
Excerpts
The state has identified an oval-shaped "area of interest" for the project, southeast of Casco Bay. To the west, the area crosses onto traditional fishing grounds called Jeffrey’s Basin and Platts Bank. Another fishing area, Mistaken Ground, is in the middle of the oval. The oval covers about 770 square miles. Its landward side starts about 20 miles from shore................“From the DMR’s experience, across the board, I think almost everyone we’ve spoken with has raised significant concerns about offshore wind and has not wanted to see development in the Gulf of Maine,” Mendelson said.

"Nowhere" is the perfect place for all unreliable energy sources in an energy hungry world that expects energy on demand.

It's hard to say whether a world of pinwheels or a world of EV's is more moronic. Both come off the drawing boards of the "elites", who believe they determine our future, and place their bets accordingly.

So that's what a quandary looks like!
The unanswered question from Erno - how does wind compare to solar in CO2 reduction and energy generation. If we took a few $billions and put solar panels up instead - I bet we'd be better off for it.
I did notice just how many holes there were in Dagher's presentation. The don't even know where they can build these OSW structures. They don't yet know which method to use to moor them. They weren't sure where to bring the power cable ashore. They don't yet know if the transmission system will handle the load. They don't even know what materials to build these with - steel, cement, FRP, CFRP, pre-stressed concrete, Styrofoam? They have a lot of estimates ...

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.
