    "Blame #Algaefa!"
    Then say it's really blue.

    Then put a fence around the site, so nobody can see the new Trump wasteland.

    If not "Antifa", who is doing all this terrible stuff to Sir's vanity projects?

    Must be Obama! Biden! The evidence is in Hunter's laptop. Don't believe your eyes.

    What #TrumpEpsteinFiles ? #Emoluments #WarCrimes? #nepotism
    The #algae did it!

  6. Ah, the drama in my hometown of Wausau. It's pretty apparent that the unqualified 26-year old son of the transportation secretary will get his seat based on nepotism.

    And people ask me, "Why did you leave?"

    The reason? The people who live there are antithetical to my values.

  7. After #Fukushima: A Survey of #Corruption in the Global #NuclearPower Industry

    Richard Tanter
    Asian Perspective
    Vol. 37, No. 4, Special Issue: After Fukushima: The Right to Know (Oct.-Dec. 2013)

    Abstract:

    "Investigations of the #FukushimaNuclearPowerAccident sequence revealed the man-made character of the catastrophe and its roots in regulatory capture effected by a network of corruption, #collusion, and #nepotism. A review of corruption incidents in the global nuclear industry during 2012-2013 reveals that the Japanese experience is not isolated. Gross corruption is evident in #nuclear technology exporting countries such as #Russia, #China, and the #UnitedStates, and in a number of nuclear technology importing countries. The survey results make clear that national nuclear regulatory regimes are inadequate and that the global regime is virtually completely ineffective. Widespread corruption of the nuclear industry has profound social and political consequences resulting from the corrosion of public trust in companies, governments, and energy systems themselves."

  8. ICYMI - from 2019:

    VERIFY: does Gov. #JanetMills' brother have ties to #CMPCorridor project?

    NEWS CENTER #Maine verifies #PeterMills' involvement in the CMP corridor.

    July 3, 2019

    "In the last year, we have been bombarded with questions and concerns surrounding the #CMP transmission line project.

    "Most recently, some of those concerns from you at home have shifted to Governor Janet Mills' support behind the project -- more specifically, if her brother, Peter Mills, has any ties to the corridor or if he has anything to gain from it.

    "To verify these claims, NEWS CENTER Maine spoke with Peter Mills himself and referenced these public documents -- 'The Memorandum of Understanding between Central Maine Power Company and Western Mountains and Rivers Corporation'.

    Here's what we found out.

    "Mills does currently sit on the board of a charitable non-profit called Western Mountains and Rivers Corporation, an organization established back in 2017.

    "He admits the non-profit has ties to CMP and the corridor project, but he says it's a very specific partnership.

    "'The purpose of the corporation was to negotiate with #CentralMainePower and possibly #HydroQuebec to see to it that they would put together terms to mitigate in a public and charitable way, to mitigate for the impact of the power line if it were built.' says Mills. [I've seen this tactic before -- with #MaineTurnpikeAuthority donations to non-profits affected by #highway expansion]

    "Public documents detail this agreement between the two entities, which includes CMP's requirement to provide $250,000 dollars to the non-profits trust fund; for start-up costs and other proceedings.

    "It has been used to hire an #attorney to represent the interests of the #corporation in the #Legal proceedings before the #PUC and #LERK and the #DEP, and in negotiating for any mitigation terms including the creation of land rights of way in the #KennebecValley." says Mills."

  9. Despite local opposition and a statewide vote, the #CMPCorridor through #Maine's #NorthWoods is getting pushed through! #PeterMills, head of the #MaineTurnpikeAuthority and brother of #JanetMills, is on the board of a corporation involved in the project! Nothing to see here, eh? No wonder MTA has no problem destroying woods, streams and farmland here in southern #Maine!

    #CMPCorridor Proposal: A Bad Deal for Maine

    "In April 2023, a Cumberland County jury ruled in CMP’s favor during a court case that very likely will decide the future of the company’s controversial transmission corridor. The decision was based on technical legal issues and not on the merits of whether or not this was a good project for Maine.

    "We are disappointed with the outcome and remain sharply focused on achieving a just and equitable clean energy future that works for all Mainers.

    "Maine has already shown there’s a better path forward than the CMP corridor. A path focused on regional collaboration and centered in Maine’s pragmatic approach to solving problems.

    "Mainers are pursuing home-grown clean energy sources, like the #KingPineWindProject in Aroostook County that will deliver new and verifiable reductions in pollution rather than a shell game that shifts existing energy for maximum profit.

    "#MaineVoters got it right when they overwhelmingly passed a referendum rejecting the CMP corridor because it’s a bad deal for Maine and a bad deal for our climate.

    "#NRCM is honored to stand with youth #ClimateJustice activists, tribes in Maine and Canada, people across western Maine who rely on a vibrant outdoor recreation economy, and many others in opposing the CMP corridor. Thank you to everyone who partnered with us on this hard-fought campaign."

    Top 4 Reasons NRCM Opposes the Corridor:

    - Won’t reduce climate-changing pollution, and may actually increase it.
    - Cuts 53 miles of new transmission lines through undeveloped #forests in Maine’s #NorthWoods, harming brook trout, deer, other #wildlife, and the tourism economy.
    - Jeopardizes the construction of new in-state #RenewableEnergy projects and creation of clean energy jobs.
    - Generates billions of dollars of profit for CMP and #HydroQuebec while offering very little to Maine people and businesses.
