They’re primarily based in Western New York, though the CPA is a statewide group, with other members in New Hampshire and Ohio. CWWgroup Fri, 09 May 2008 21:12:33 GMT http://batr.net/cohoctonwindwatch/2008/06/iberdrola-needs-to-walk-away-from.html The courageous ruling by the PSC administrative law judge to reject approval of the Iberdrola acquisition of Energy East is getting intense criticism by all the usual suspects. On the face of all the hullaballoo coming from self-indulgent beholding politicians, covetous transnational corporations and their business interest crony groups, the public should savor the moment. Who protects the energy consumer and the hard-pressed taxpayer? Well, we have an answer and his name is Rafael Epstein! CWWgroup Tue, 17 Jun 2008 21:07:37 GMT http://batr.net/cohoctonwindwatch/2008/02/electric-industry-terms-important-in.html First, wind turbines have little or no “capacity value”; i.e., they are unlikely to be producing electricity at the time of peak electricity demand. · Second, a kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity from a wind turbine has less value than a kWh of electricity from a reliable (“dispatchable”) generating unit CWWgroup Mon, 18 Feb 2008 15:00:46 GMT http://batr.net/cohoctonwindwatch/2008/05/opponents-demand-investigation-into.html The Franklin County District Attorney’s office is conducting a grand jury investigation into wind farm-related abuses, and Delaware County is also investigating alleged criminal activity. CWWgroup Fri, 09 May 2008 21:11:11 GMT http://batr.net/cohoctonwindwatch/2008/02/psc-public-hearing-on-iberdrola-take.html Iberdrola seeks to force this kind of marginal technology, at best, upon every hamlet and hillside in a reprehensible attempt to produce a superior stock holder return on equity. How does the NY consumer benefit from such a plot to defraud the ratepayer? The threats of eminent domain have been heard at every corner of our state. CWWgroup Fri, 22 Feb 2008 12:36:15 GMT http://batr.net/cohoctonwindwatch/2008/02/whos-behind-it-north-texas-wind.html When you understand that wind energy does not work on a "utility-scale", the next questions are "Why are they doing it?" and ultimately "Who is behind it?" Simply put, it's a corporate tax-avoidance scam, put in place by investment banking lobbyists, energy industry lobbyists, and the late Ken Lay and his Enron Wind subsidiary. CWWgroup Sun, 17 Feb 2008 17:02:20 GMT http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/09/090917111511.htm Scientists from the Universities of Exeter and Plymouth are calling for urgent research to understand the impact of renewable energy developments on marine life. The study, now published in the Journal of Applied Ecology, highlights potential environmental benefits and threats resulting from marine renewable energy, such as off-shore wind farms and wave and tidal energy conversion devices.
