Summary My name is Dylan Voorhees. I am the Clean Energy Director for the Natural Resources Council of Maine (NRCM). NRCM is a private, non-profit, membership organization established in 1959 to advocate for the protection and conservation of Maine’s natural resources. NRCM has a strong interest in the development of clean forms of electricity generation that will help reduce the environmental and public health harm caused by existing forms of power production. We share the view articulated in the Maine Land Use Regulation Commission’s (the “Commission”) Comprehensive Land Use Plan that “windpower offers an attractive alternative to the burning of fossil fuels.”1 NRCM also has a strong interest in land conservation for areas with unique natural resource, recreation, and remote resource values. Accordingly, we recognize that the Commission has an important responsibility in considering how to balance impacts and benefits when it comes to wind power projects in its jurisdiction. NRCM has carefully examined the application, visited the site, and strongly concludes that this project conforms to the Commission’s evaluation criteria and policies, Maine’s energy policies, 1 Comprehensive Land Use Plan (1997), Chapter 3, Natural and Cultural Resources, p. 40 ZP 709, Kibby Wind Farm 1 Voorhees Pre-Filed Testimony and the public interest. The Kibby Wind Farm would generate a substantial amount of new renewable power in Maine at a time when we need to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.

The one I like best is building—we build a lot of things here. Some such building is actual, not analogous: there’s a fourth year student building a tiny house in the parking lot; another is rebuilding the battery terminals for our electric van; we just built a bed on wheels and placed third in the Bar Harbor Bed Races.

Previously, Acadia National Park sent most visitor fees to Washington and was reimbursed at about 20%. With fee demo, however, the park has retained about 80% of collections, or $11 million in new money. The revenues have helped offset the general underfunding of Acadia, which operates on 47 percent of what the park needs annually to satisfy management mandates issued by Congress since 1916. In Friends’ view, the fee program must complement, not replace, Congress’s basic obligation to appropriate sufficient operating funds. Maine Senators Snowe and Collins and Representatives Allen and Michaud have helped in that quest. Acadia’s fee demo is making possible myriad projects through 2005 — road, campground and trail rehabs, repairs to historic structures, visitor and ranger facilities, and much more.
