Maine

Experts often tout government policies as an important component of implementing energy efficiency. But, critics argue that such issues should not be subject to government regulation and should instead evolve out of the capitalistic market. Clean energy is spreading rapidly across the county, but what encourages such improvements?

Governor John Baldacci of Maine understands wind energy partly because he’s traveled to Spain, Germany and Norway to learn about it, and partly because he has the listening ears of New England's movers and shakers.  

Okay all you wind power experts, this one has me stumped. Someone just sent me a video of a rather large weird semi-opaque object flying off a wind turbine in Maine.

Here's the video. Any ideas what the heck it is?

Five states and one US territory are receiving over $141 million in federal economic stimulus funds for state-based renewable energy and energy efficiency programs. It's just part of the $3.1 billion allocated to State Energy Programs (SEPs) under the Recovery Act.
