How can you help?

There's actually many ways you can help protect our farms and forests!

Become a member of Preserve Rural Maine. This is the only organization I know of which is actively working to protect the rural environment against industrial scale infrastructure, big business, and the perverse incentives of investment tax credits for renewable energy projects. (1)
I’ve recently posted a timeline providing an overview of this project. Scroll down to the “Future” section and see if there is anything you can attend/ comment on/ help with.

(1) The King Pine wind energy project is a 175,000 acre project, with a projected $2 billion cost. The developer could get an investment tax credit of 30%, i.e. $600 million https://windexchange.energy.gov/projects/tax-credits “To receive the full production tax credit amount of 2.6 cents per kilowatt-hour or full investment tax credit of 30%, projects over 1 megawatt must satisfy apprenticeship and prevailing wage requirements. Facilities of under 1 MW are exempt from these requirements. The base credit amount for larger projects that do not meet the wage and apprenticeship requirements is 20% of the full credit amount.”
