    Killing Maine, a novel by Mike Bond

    Winner, General Fiction, New England Book Festival, 2015 Buy at Amazon. Some of America’s most corrupt politicians can be found in the windswept wilds of Maine. The Pine Tree State rates next-to-last in citizens’ trust of their legislators according to the Gallup Poll (April 4, 2014), and the Center for Public Integrity gives the state an F for corruption.

    Vermonters’ Plea: DO NOT REINSTATE the Wind Energy PTC

    Dear Senators Leahy and Sanders and Congressman Welch: We, the undersigned, join many thousands of U.S. taxpayers and ratepayers nationwide in urging you and your colleagues to eliminate the 22-year old wind production tax credit (PTC). You should know by now that development of wind power in the United States does not reduce our need to maintain and build reliable generation, nor does it add materially to employment in our country. The small amount of energy it generates is intermittent, . . .

    Ladies & Gentlemen: I’m now sending the following note to various senators. If any of you find it useful, feel free to use it in whole or part with or without attribution. When contacting senators’ offices, please don’t forget their in-state offices. You can find telephone and fax numbers on members’ web sites. Glenn Schleede April 2, 2014 How much will Senator Grassley’s plan to extend the Wind Production Tax Credit (PTC) add to the national debt we are passing . . .

    Weg met windmolens — “Down with wind turbines” game

    The beautiful panorama of Wijk bij Duurstede might be changing. With an abundance of arguments you can prevent this! Will you play “Down with wind turbines”? No. I am from SP/GroenLinks/D66. Yes. I accept the challenge. 1. How far away can a 150-meter wind turbine be seen standing in the landscape? 2. How many euros less would a Wijks house be worth near wind turbines by the canal? 3. How many cars is the energy generated by a spinning wind . . .
