      Well duh, they've been in bed with fossil fuels for 40+ years.

        They knew early. & Their goal has been to sow doubt this entire time.
        Exactly the same as the tobacco industry.

        If there was any justice...

        But, there isn't.

          So the senate passed NRMA act 92-8. This is for land conservation not climate change but putting it here.
          The No votes:

          Cruz
          Mike lee
          Johnson from WI
          2 a-holes from Ok
          Rand Paul

            I'd be interested in seeing that data

            this page has an area chart of generation per state (not consumption)

            https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...our-state.html

            in the case of Maine it shows that in just the last couple years hydro, biomass, and wind overtook natural gas, but it hasn't added much generation capacity (other than wind), and it's not like state are isolated so it's also consuming power also generated through out new england and Canada

              Probably not in Southern MAine but in this area doesn't most of the gas fueling Veazie come from Sable Island. Sable is closed down. Not sure what that means to Veazie but Bucksport hasn't run in years.

                Has anyone else been paying attention to the look at climate that @ScottAdamsSays has been moderating on Twitter? It's actually pretty good dialog from both POVs.

                  "Science, the foundation of science is doubt. Scientific things are things that are falsifiable, independently verifiable, and make very narrow and risky predictions. Scientific things are not done by consensus, that's politics. The moment you have to get a whole bunch of people to agree on something that's politics. The hallmark of science is you make a scientific claim, I can replicate or verify that claim on my own. That claim has to make a set of predictions that are novel and are unlikely and narrow in how they are defined. They're hard to vary after the fact so if I come back and say, "You didn't match up with your prediction," you're not allowed to more the goal posts too much. And then, those predictions have to be falsifiable. They have to be tested in the real world that may prove those things to be false. This is not me this is Karl Popper, a historian of science."

                      The dams Maine took out resulted in no net loss in capacity. For the most part they were old obsolete dams that were originally constructed to provide mechanical power to mills and then converted to make electricity. They removed a few low-capacity dams in exchange for permitting to increase capacity at others. The result was no loss in production. The ****s that were removed only produced enough power for a couple thousand homes each.

                      There really is no where in Maine to build a large-scale hydro project (like on the scale Hydro Quebec builds) that wouldn't displace multiple towns

                                Yes, they've bought the renewable resources to make that claim.

                                But, when the sun doesn't shine and the wind is calm (and without storage tech) their campus will be powered by the Monticello nuclear facility or the Great River Energy coal fired plant at Underwood, ND, like the rest of MSP.

                                It's honorable goal setting; it's awesome virtue signalling; but, 3M is dependent upon baseline load carrying facilities until we have storage tech figured out.
