Never been more true

@savingseafood Its bullshit to force any fishermen to pay for at sea observers!

@CostaKapo Awesome! Can you ever see Costa Oil expanding up to Maine?

[EdwardDamm @SpringRunLLC]

@amitisinvesting You always have a talent for putting this information in such an interesting, readable form. Thanks!

[EdwardDamm @SpringRunLLC]

@LeeTremblett Hope its a good season for you, our catch has dropped off here in Maine but the winter was decent.

[EdwardDamm @SpringRunLLC]

@wendtcorp Very exciting!

@savingseafood @RepGolden How about just no new regulations?

Look at these turbines.

See the dark streaks on the blades and running out of the nacelle?

That’s oil.

This is what they call “green energy.”

Inside these turbines are gearboxes, hydraulic systems, grease lines, coolants, and industrial lubricants. When seals fail or systems wear out, that oil leaks out at hundreds of feet in the air and gets sprayed across the surrounding land. And it’s not just oil—PFAS (“forever chemicals”) from the specialized coatings on the blades and towers, designed to resist erosion and weather, are getting abraded and spread into the environment too. Plus, the fiberglass and composite blades themselves erode over time from rain, hail, and operation, shedding microplastics and fibers right into the air, soil, and water below.

And nobody wants to talk about what happens next.

This toxic cocktail does not disappear.

It lands in the soil.

It coats grasses and brush.

It contaminates the ground insects and pollinators depend on.

It disrupts the microorganisms that keep soil healthy and alive.

Repeated exposure can leave dead patches of ground and long-term soil degradation underneath and around these towers—now laced with persistent PFAS that never break down and microplastics that accumulate in the ecosystem.

Rain then carries these contaminants, leaching them into nearby streams, rivers, and waterways, where toxins spread further downstream—sometimes for miles—affecting aquatic life, drinking water sources, and entire watersheds.

Then wildlife gets exposed.

Birds land on contaminated surfaces.

Small mammals walk through it.

Animals ingest it while feeding and grooming.

Insects decline first. Then everything above them in the food chain feels it after.

PFAS and other toxins bioaccumulate, magnifying the damage up the chain.

And this is happening while politicians and environmental activists lecture rural America about protecting nature.

Think about the irony.

Oil and gas workers are treated like environmental criminals while thousands of industrial wind turbines sit across open country leaking petroleum-based products, shedding microplastics, releasing PFAS, and leaching toxins into soil and waterways on the same land they claim to be saving.

At the end of the day, this is industrial-scale energy infrastructure with real environmental costs. But because wind and solar are intermittent, renewable setups have to be massively overbuilt with far more turbines, transmission lines, and backup systems just to approach power delivery, multiplying the land use, materials, and pollution footprint even further.

The difference is one industry gets demonized while the other gets taxpayer subsidies and media protection.

Maine deserves honest conversations about energy, land, wildlife, and the environment.

We deserve better than fake environmentalist groups profiting off of the grift.
