Is Wind Developing Too Fast?

Maine is moving too fast developing wind power...at least, that's what some Mainers say.

The newly formed citizens' task force on wind power held a news conference in Augusta Monday.

Members say they want to work with state officials to reconsider statewide goals involving wind energy.

The task force drew the support of the Forest Ecology Network, led by Jonathan Carter.

"Now, many environmentalist have been sucked into believing that if you're not for covering the mountains of Maine with turbines than you're acting against the unfolding disaster of global change. This is an absolute false dichotomy," Carter told TV5 on Monday. "Global warming is catastrophic but the solution is not to destroy the pristine character of the Maine mountains you don't destroy something ecologically in the name of some other ecological improvement."

Spokesperson for the Governor David Farmer says there is no plan for Governor Baldacci to meet with the group.

Farmer says the issues that are being brought up have already been addressed.

Not surprising the governor is not meeting with the group.His office and the Attorney General both would not accept my emails. The flimsy excuse was that they did not know me.

I asked for an explanation of this. http://bit.ly/3xMRV1

The stetson mt wind farm is not on the grid. Neither is Kibby. Stetson II requires 1.4 billion dollars worth of transmission lines before it or the rest of the wind farms are online.

The above link is a trancription of the lawsuit US govt vs FERC..over the building of the Stetson Mt windfarm. Nothing has changed. Still a bottleneck. Gov. Baldaci , LURC and DEP all know .But are keeping the farce going anyway.

Try emailing the gov and AG with that link. Ask for an explanation. Just see what happens. Wait for a slow day. LOL
