@redheadranting Mock apple pie. Make the filling on the stove then bake in the pie shell. My kids couldn’t tell the difference. Use the largest zucchinis —peel and seed.

To build more ships, faster, we must change the way we do business.

Great to join OMB Director @russvought in our nation’s shipyards alongside skilled shipbuilders, craftsmen, and Service members.

From Maine to the Gulf Coast, we will deliver the Golden Fleet by expanding and sharpening American warship production to equip our @USNavy and @USMC as they dominate the seas.

About this time in June 1603, explorer Martin Pring explored the coast of New Hampshire and southern Maine, and then Martha's Vineyard. He brings two mastiffs, "Fool" and "Gallant," who are the first two dogs in North America whose names come down to us.

@TheHistoryOfTh2 And your trash collectors!

[General Dynamics Bath Iron Works @GDBIW]

We are proud to accelerate delivery of the future USS Patrick Gallagher (DDG 127) to the fleet.

“BIW is leaning into the country’s need for faster delivery of ships to the nation’s fleet,” BIW President Charles F. Krugh said. “Collaboration between our shipbuilders and the Navy’s Supervisor of Shipbuilding to accelerate delivery of Patrick Gallagher (DDG 127) is just one example. Working with and listening to our employees to identify opportunities to build ships faster is delivering meaningful results.”

[Julie D. Rabinowitz @Jdrabinowitz]

Heading to this important event tomorrow for discussions about the shipbuilding workforce and how BIW and our fellow GD shipbuilder Electric Boat are successfully growing our employee base and gaining experience. Join us!

[General Dynamics Bath Iron Works @GDBIW]

Recruiting, training, and retaining the next generation of shipbuilders is one of the maritime sector’s defining challenges.

Join us for a special afternoon session on June 2 at 2 p.m. at the GDIT EMERGE event in Washington, DC for a focused breakout discussion with @gdelectricboat, General Dynamics - Bath Iron Works and the Submarine Industrial Base (SIB) Program Office on strategies that are driving real impact in building the next generation of shipbuilders.

@TheHistoryOfTh2 Just saw the tour when it came to Maine last week. Impressive talent. Highly recommend! Of course, due to the sad decline in high school literature courses, I had to explain what “I hope, I pray for Hester to win just one more A,” meant to my 20 year old son.

⚡️Once again, it doesn’t have to be this way. Remember this in the ballot box in November.

Full article text below:

Written by: Gerry Chasse, an electrical engineering graduate from the University of Maine, was president of Bangor Hydro/Emera Maine and chief operating officer of Tampa Electric Co. in Florida.

“Gordon Weil’s argument for public power (“How to cut electric rates in Maine — without public power,” April 2) ignores a hard reality: Maine’s high electric rates aren’t driven by utility profits. They are driven by more than 40 years of legislative micromanagement and mismanagement.

While Weil laments the failed Pine Tree Power referendum, Maine’s small, unsophisticated public power utilities continue to largely escape the impacts of over 400 pieces of energy legislation passed since 1997, all promising to lower electric rates.

Apparently, what’s good for the goose is not good for the gander.

Maine’s electricity rates are now over 30 cents per kilowatt-hour for CMP and Versant Power’s residential customers. The one thing Mr. Weil and I do agree on is that they need to come down. However, blaming it on natural gas or utility profits is patently incorrect.

Our situation is 100% self-induced. The state is fully responsible for 18 of the 30 cents/kwh we pay, and the heavy increases that Mainers have seen over the past 40 years. Electricity supply, the public policy charge, the Efficiency Maine assessment, Maine’s renewable portfolio standard, the RGGI tax, the impacts of deregulation, hydro dam removal and many more make up that 18 cents.

Some are hidden in CMP’s and Versant’s rates. Some are in the Standard Offer rate. All end up on a piece of letterhead delivered to your mailbox with your utility’s name on it, while your utility hands over 60% of your payment to others whose profits are far greater than any of the state’s utilities, public or private.

Maine’s solar net billing program, the most aggressive in the country, and renewable portfolio standard add 20% to your electric rate. And they are poised to continue to increase dramatically.

The irony is that these high costs have priced out the very technologies — like heat pumps and EVs — that would reduce the most carbon and save you money.

You don’t have to take my word for it. London Economics , a well-respected company based in Boston, said, “Maine can achieve the benefits of solar generation at a much lower cost than it is currently paying.” Translation: we are paying far too much.

From costly biomass contracts in the 1980s, to deregulation in the ’90s, to wind and solar policies in the 2010s, Maine’s political leadership has driven electric rates to the third highest in the country.

A reversal in the trend requires a fix of the root cause; that is legislators and a governor who promote climate ideology rather than sound economics and physics.

I worked in Florida for nine years where the legislature created an environment for lower electric rates while utilities managed the grid and, importantly, the choices of electric supply. The result: 15-17 cent electric rates despite heavy reliance on natural gas, excellent reliability and a natural expansion of large-scale, cost-effective solar.

A clean transition can be done with affordability at the forefront. While Maine is a rural state, with more infrastructure supporting fewer customers than most, it’s understandable that our electric costs are above the national average of 17 cents. A reasonable and achievable target is closer to 20 cents/kwh.

Our next governor will not have an easy task getting there, but step one is to reverse the things that got us to 30 cents. That starts with electing politicians who actually care about reliability and affordability, and ones who have enough humility to let the experts build and implement the plan to achieve it.”

@TheHistoryOfTh2 My dad took us into his Boston office building for a great view of the tall ships. I was only 6.

I remember the 1986 Statue of Liberty celebration— which seemed like a bigger, brighter event.

About this time in April 1614, John Smith arrives at Saco Bay, ME to explore Norumbega, the area that Smith would soon name “New England.” Smith would sail along the coast to the southern end of Cape Cod. Among other things, Smith identified Patuxet, where the Mayflower Pilgrims would eventually settle, and produce a map of his journey.
