The carbon tax is coming due. This week, RGGI states tapped old allowance inventory to add supply to a market already clearing at $37.65/ton. Much steeper cap reductions begin in 2027. Our prices are only going up! @windaction @FiscalAlliance rggi.org/auctions/auction-re…

This massive wind project proposed for Maine lacks permits, has no spot in ISO-NE’s queue, and won’t be operational until after 2030, meaning it will not qualify for federal subsidies. I highly doubt it will ever get built. @windaction pressherald.com/2026/09/02/a…

In 2019, Liberty Utilities’ David Swain pushed to site 604' turbines just 500' from property lines, 664' to homes, despite residents' safety concerns. Now there've been 3 catastrophic turbine failures in 3 yrs. Liberty must be held accountable. @windaction windaction.org/posts/51429

A wholesale tax is about to hockey stick Massachusetts electricity rates, according to a new study from the @FiscalAlliance #mapoli

This court order is a process ruling, not a win for BIG wind. It does not force DoD to approve any project, lock in prior decisions, or ignore updated nat. security risks. DoD retains full authority to find risk unmitigable & refuse clearance. @windaction stateline.org/2026/08/07/jud…

ISO New England reports Canadian wildfire smoke in July cut regional solar output 50%—about 3,000 MW. Smoke also lowered temps pushing actual demand 4,000 MW below forecast. Amazing how one atmospheric event affected both supply and demand! @windaction nepool.com/wp-content/upload…

Here we go again! @Reuters is recycling the stale wind/solar argument: end subsidies & power rates will rise.

6/7 Now that demand is growing, the same subsidies are portrayed as essential to prevent shortages.
Under this logic, stagnant demand requires subsidies for decarbonization, while rising demand requires them for resource adequacy. There is never a right time to end them.

7/7 That is not timing-sensitive economic analysis. @Reuters is pushing an unfalsifiable defense of permanent government support. Time for big media to test industry claims—not launder them into economic common sense.

Great work!! @windaction
Yes it’s true. The project noise consultant referenced the concavity issue early in the project, but did not analyze concavity in the project area. I analyzed concavity, found numerous occurences requiring a defensive decibel design margin, and informed the Board in 2025 of the modeling deficiency. The consultant did not respond to my analysis and did not incorporate the findings- they stuck with their model, no changes.

Pave 1000's of acres of open land with solar panels and suffer this environmental disaster. Horrible! @windaction
A single hail storm in Damon, Texas, destroys THOUSANDS of acres of solar panels.
Is it really wise to make ourselves dependent on expensive energy infrastructure that can be rendered permanently useless by one night of bad weather?

MA is doubling down on offshore wind. The latest Senate bill:
• reopens contract prices after award,
• extends project permits,
• authorizes state-funding for projects.
Each provision shifts project risk from developers to MA ratepayers. 🧵 @windaction nbcboston.com/news/local/mas…

3/4 Current contracts are fixed at approval. Developers assume the risk if costs increase. This bill changes that. If costs rise, contracts are reopened. If projects struggle, the state can co-invest. If permits expire, they're extended. Each provision shifts risk to ratepayers.
