The Wind Scam in Maine is as despicable and underhanded as Bayroot.

In Lincoln,Maine it was based on deception and secretive, non-democratic processes. It is still under appeal in the Supreme Court there because of the process used by First Wind to obtain permits. It was sprung on the citizens there as a surprise , with little time to respond. The process used to site Wind Turbines in Maine has not been a democratic, or scientific one .Basics of civic process are breached, broken. No vote allowed for the Rollins Project. Corporate conniving and financial finageling the rule. Breaching of basic Citizen Rights the game..

The basis for this , the Expedited Process in Maine ,was developed by the Governor's Task Force on Wind Power with the aide of low characters like ex-governor Angus King, and other self-serving politicians and lobby forces in Maine. The destruction at Kibby Mtn.and Stetson Mtn. is breath taking mountain devastation. All this for Harvard, and other subsidy sucking secretive endowment investments like Bayroot of Yale.

The Cat is out of the Bag!

The groupthink , brain twisted, socially marketed comments here are a wonderful example of the imbecilic mental forces driving the Wind Scam.

Lacking science, lacking economic reasoning, lacking facts, but having strong financial leverage from the likes of DE SHAW and other investment bankers to create a TAX and Scam Market.

I would wager a bet this student has never seen or heard 50 , 400 foot GE 1.5 MW monster turbines at 20 knots wind generating DbC and other noise components.

Undergrad, do you even know what DbC is? Do you even know what the difference between plate and capacity value power produced by these feckless monsters?

Boone says it well.” In contrast to wind proponents’ alluring but empty promises of closed coal plants and reduced carbon emissions is this reality: wind energy is impotent while its environmental footprint is massive and malignant. It can’t dent a grape in the energy scheme of things; it’s a sideshow technology with great potential for mainline environmental harm. In some ways, it’s almost the perfect enterprise for our era, as it produces no meaningful product or service but is subsidized up to 80 percent by rate and taxpayers. Like many “celebrities,” it is famous for being famous, not for its actual performance.”

The Groupthink and lack of facts of “Undergrad” is a sign of our Subsidized Times. The bubble will break on “THE WIND SCAM”.

One of the great Deceptions and Tax Subsidy Pigs of our time. (along with BAYROOT et al.).
