Reply #36: You're not even CLOSE to right.

You claimed that they export 40% of the electricity they produce... this is flat wrong.

You posted false numbers for in-state demand and then miraculously assumed that the rest of the supply must have been exported.

You claim here "Maine exports windpower to Canada - not the other way around." I don't know if you're playing games with adding "wind" to the statement, but in the year we discussed (2007), Maine imported almost five times as much electricity from Canada as they exported to Canada.

You offer "Maine is a net exporter of electricity" as a rebuttal to my (correct) point that they rely on neighboring states with reliable baseload capacity. The statement isn't responsive, because you can easily be a net exporter and still rely on neighbors' capacity if you have a significantly variable level of production. It is, in fact, just what you would expect.



In short... you continue to make a fool of yourself while laughing at others.
