I get a kick out of some of the comments on yesterday's BDN story about First Wind's test towers on Bowers Mountain, like the satirical "Maine cedes the Northeast to First Wind". Check out the comment from 2/3/10 at 7:52 AM by "deanhornblower":
Maine cedes the Northeast to First Wind
...State of Firstwindiana
Governor: Matt Kearns
Statehood: Created in 2010 as "Emergency" legislation by the Maine Legislature
Boundaries: Penobscot River to the Canadian border, from the northern shores of the Grand Lakes of Eastern Maine to Southern Aroostook.
Capitol: Prentiss, centrally located and in honor of Stetson I: "where the revolution began"
State Flag: GE 1.5 MW turbine on a "green" background
State Bird: Clubbed and Mangled Bald Eagle
State Animal: Barotraumatized Bat
State Tree: Whatever is left standing after being run over by a H C Haynes skidder
State Song: "We're in the Money"
State Motto: "Big Wind, Big Lie, Forever!"
Not my words folks, nor is any of it true, but I suspect many (other than First Wind) will find it funny.
Meanwhile, in Washington DC, the Obama administration continues to speak of "caps" on carbon emissions.
