I still have not heard one person here tell me where we will get our power from in the future? Canada? Maybe, at what cost? Also, most of the people who comment here have no idea how the power grid works, or, even how electricity in generated. Regardless of what anyone thinks about these turbines, every watt they produce is one thats not produced by burning oil or coal. You people slam the Canadian company behind this project repeatedly. How dumb are they I wonder? Here they are producing clean power with wind and more importantly hydro power,more than they can use, and we americans sit here and wail and whine about it while we remove our dams and fight wind and nuclear power. We have the ability to produce our own power right here at home, but no.....we'll just rely on Canada to sell us the power we need, HOPEING they will just keep prices down and keep us happy.The number of people in this country who have completely abandoned the idea of self reliance is astounding. These same people who rely on others for everything will be the ones who scream the loudest when their services are interupted. You people whine and complain ,but have no idea how to meet our energy needs.. Insulating attics and putting solar panels on our schools isnt going to cut it. These are "feel good "ideas, and feel good ideas are worthless. Rumford native....."neutralize coal powerplants? Does this mean they are taken out and shot? I thought the term was idled, or throttled back, which is what they would do. Coal is dirty? Fine, lets convert them to natural gas instead.......no???" How come? Evirowhiners will never be happy no matter what anyone does. They will complain till the cows come home, all while enjoying the benifits of energy produced by the builders and doers of this country of ours.

We have seen the impacts on costs to ratepayers ( increasing ). We have data on carbon reduction ( very little, if any ). We have data on foreign oil imports ( no decrease ). All that is green is not always good. Thank you, the citizens, for putting in the time to research and discover the truth about wind power, the worst energy approach in an ailing economy.

Allison also did a wonderful job. I am just amazed at everything we did and what we went through. It's crazy and unless you were there you will never understand our experience of a lifetime. Thank you for everything. Its something I will never forget. Quyana, Taylor Kaminsky Wow, This is an incredible entry that you took time to write. Allison also did a wonderful job.

From one who knows well the commitment involved, I salute you for recognizing the possibilities for ALL the students and persevering to make them a reality. Of course it took an amazing team to put it all together, your "crew" also deserves the highest praise. Keep an eye on Alison, she has a real gift! You are a true educator who will be sorely missed by the entire Mt. Blue community. QUYANA and congratulations, Tim.

It would be neat to find out! It would be great for the kids from Maine and from Alaska to get an idea of how they all impacted our lives for these 10 days! Let's hear from all the readers!

You state your opinion of studies, but do not list the studies. I have an open mind on the subject, but look for published facts, which appear hard to find. Our future depends on a sober evaluation of hard facts, not emotional responses. I find both your letter and the comments short on facts and long on opinion.

The expansion at Sugarloaf does not require ripping the top off the mountain or running new power lines across our wild and scenic mountains.The expansion will create far less destruction then the huge swathes of clear cuts one now views on the way to Sugarloaf .The expansion will provide more jobs for local workers and strengthen the local economy. Lots of pluses. And I doubt Boyne East will be receiving the huge tax subsidies Trans Canada now enjoys. So Mac, can you elaborate for us why it is so important to subsidies a Canadian Corporation, which will profit handsomely from our tax dollars, while defacing our landscape when studies prove that wind farms don't actually reduce carbon emissions or the cost of electricity?
